Friend of mine blew his egr block off rubber stopper on the radiator and lost a bunch of coolant. Anyone know if this stuff is ok to put back in?

G-05 is a hybrid OAT (Think the "Gold" coolant that Ford used to use) versus a pure OAT (The reddish/orangish stuff currently used by Ford). You want something that is actually dexcool approved, as dexcool happens to meet Ford's standards for coolant. Another note, Ford uses a pure OAT now.

I'm going with no. Get the specialty orange if at all possible. What Jus2shy said about OAT is very important.

G 05 is a replacement for Ford premium gold used in the 6.0. I definitely wouldn't use it in the 6.7.

If you got impatient and put some of that stuff in any way. You will need to flush and refill the coolant system.
