Pictures did fine from my view.
If you are looking for an extended life coolant , which is not the ZEREX GO-5.(Which is the same as the Ford Gold that came from the factory.)
Make sure the coolant is CAT EC-1 rated.

I don't see that on the label.

I didn't see on the label either but when we looked it up by part number ZXED1 it said it was CAT EC-1 approved. So now what do I do? Should I return it and keep on looking or will this work?

It's the right stuff, they changed the label. It use to say CAT EC-1 on the jug like the image from LivingLarge. I double checked their tech sheet Valvoline? ZEREX? Extended Life Antifreeze / Coolant : Product Catalog - Valvoline® and it says CAT EC-1 in it.

I use it, no issues.
