I have a 2001 Ranger 3L that I bought a few months ago. I'm going to flush the coolant and replace it next week. It has green-colored anti-freeze in it.
Do I have to replace with green or can I use yellow anti-freeze after the flush?
Thanks for any comments.
Why would you switch? Whats wrong with the green? its cheaper isn't it?

My other two Fords (Focus, Mustang) use yellow. I don't want to have two different anti-freeze mixtures around if I can avoid it.
The green tastes better, nice sweet taste, try it sometime on a finger tip. Trouble is it tastes good too kids and animals also and can result in death.

The Chinese use it to make toothpaste.
give them a straw, it would be easier to get out than licking it from the rad.
Is this a joke?
All the antifreeze I've bought recently has "bitterguard" in it. Get even a little in your mouth and you'll taste it for hours. Or just get it on your face and sweat a little. I actually keep a bottle of listerine in my toolbox just to get the taste out.
