[QUOTE="FlyingLow, post: 119027, member: 1759"] So I'm getting my '05 ABS ready for WFO, and then a week later, a week-long road trip to New Mexico. Besides a TBS and a new air filter, I'm also changing the coolant for the first time [at 14.5K]. I thought I would try some Prestone Dex-Cool so I bought a gallon. After draining out the green factory coolant and a flush out, I opened the Dex-Cool and it's orange. Uh-oh. I had always read don't mix green with orange [even though now all the green was flushed out] But I checked up and instead refilled with standard green Prestone. Urban legend? Old wive's tale? Paranoia on my part? The Prestone jugs even say compatible with any color. BTW, it needed changing. The old stuff had some black tint, indicative of decomposing aluminum. [/QUOTE]
