AntiFreeze?

Hi there new to this site. My daughter just bought a 2006 motorhome with the V-10, and was wondering what type of antifreeze does it take? It has the yellow/gold in it now. It is a little bit low on the cold fill line. Can you mix differant colors, or just ask for yellow antifreeze? I don't know if the color is labeled on the jugs. Any help greatly appreciated-Thanks.

Ford VC-7-A or Zerex G-05 is the coolant you are looking for.

Beautiful MH in your avatar.

I need to change coolant so I just got recent prices...

Zerex G-05 Concentrate $17 gal @ Napa

Motorcraft Premium Gold Concentrate $16.77 gal at the local Ford dealer
(Since I'll be buying 4 gallons he said he can give me a discount)

Both are the same coolant just slight dye variations.
