I used wrong coolant
I used wrong coolant
Hey guys, I have a 04 Max, and changed oil cooler o-ring, I drained coolant from cooler lines an radiator. Coolant was green. Not thinking anything of it I used some coolant I had laying around. It was orange, brand Texaco. I read label and it said it was safe to use. I didn't know there were such big differences in coolant. What is the best thing to do now? Thanks!!!
well, you *could* flush out the orange stuff, then flush with water (distilled iirc) a couple times, then re-fill with the green.
or you could leave the orange in there if it's really ok for it...
read these threads, you're fine keeping it orange.
