[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 537367, member: 52972"] Chris P, My 2003 Sport Trac was built on December 12, 2002 and like yours , it came with the Orange coolant and no stickers. My 2001 Job1 was built on June 19, 2000 and had the Yellow cooant, and no sticker but the owners manual explicitly stated NOT to use the Orange coolant. My guess is that there was some incompatiblity with some component of the early engines and the Orange coolant. Later, in 2002 or 2003 they made some change that allowed the Orange coolant to be used. I do believe the new universal coolants mentioned by Gavin are safe to use in all models. Just be sure to flush out the old before changing to the new universal coolants. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
