Questions on coolant

There is no good reason to run green in the 6.7, (or in almost anything else).
That being said, the Ford orange is a Dex-Cool clone, and when I change mine in the spring, a real diesel coolant will be going in, likely Shell Rotella Ultra.
Color has little to do with coolant identification anymore. Dex-Cool is red, orange, or yellow depending on manufacturer and application, and GM had multiple problems with gasket incompatibility. Dex will sludge up if air is allowed to enter the system through gasket leaks or vented systems.
Ford Gold is G05 formula, has silicates, and has been known to be a problem in the 6.0. It was for convenience on the assembly line, a couple F150's then a Powerstroke, a few more gas burners, all the same fill station on the line.

First of all let me thank everyone for their input and advice on this question . Now with that being said who all has left Ford coolant and put an aftermarket one in I think that is what I'll be doing but I want people's advice on this as well thank you again I looked up Shell Rotella Ultra but there seems to be abbreviations next to them for different additives I guess not quite sure but thank you for everyone's input on this cheers

What do you have against the coolant Ford sells? Or what do you think the aftermarket coolant will provide you that the Ford coolant can't?

As noted above, the spec being used on current 2019 6.7L vehicles is WSS-M97B57-A2. Different than previous years.
