blue coolant?
I went to my local international store to get some more red coolant and they only had the new blue junk. I just did a water pump on my 1999 f250 and didn't want to risk using something new.
Anyone versed on this stuff?

Kwik, I have a '00 and I use the green and add my additives with test strips. Is the "GOLD" any better in switching over to it since it has the aditives in it already and what I have read about ELC is this: "Do not use extended life coolants (ELC) as they can cause water pump seal and injector sleeve deterioration" Thanks

Imagine adding the blue stuff to your red coolant...make a nice dark purple or black looking coolant...would really freak some people out

You must flush out all the old green stuff before you convert over.
