I ordered some Motorcraft prediluted yellow coolant to top of my truck today. Problem is that the truck seems to have a orange colored coolant from the factory in it and the new yellow is a fluorescent yellow in color. Any ideas if that could be an issue using the new stuff to top it off? Manual states Motorcraft yellow is the correct coolant.

I’ve seen orange in some random YouTube videos I’ve watched. Mine is yellow though

Psure orange (the name too) went away past 2018. May be its a dye? I know yellow sometimes comes dyed bright green

Are you sure it’s orange? I remember looking at my 2019 gen 2 worried because I saw two different colors but it was just the weird lighting making it look that way

Thanks about the backward compatibility info. It’s definitely orange. I topped it off and you could see the different colors in the reservoir.
