So I heard that Ford does offer the coolant that they recommend in the owner manual anymore so I got Prestone Platinum. My biggest concern is that my mustang had red/orange coolant color and this was lime green. The owner manual said you can not mix colors but other sites said this is safe. Basically am I safe with topping some off or do I need to do a complete flush ? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

The newer Ford coolant is backwards-compatible. I don’t know about the Prestone.

Very informative videos on Ford Coolants and related docs attached. Rock Auto has the Motorcraft coolant.

Yup...that's the vids you want to watch. IMHO...either switch out the prestone coolant for the MC or....buy a radiator anode and that will neutralize any issue.......
