Coming up on 100K coolant change. The car has green coolant currently. Build date is 5/10. When dealer ran VIN they said the car should take the orange one. Confused as to what to do. Bought the car with 75k on it so don't know if it was ever flushed or in fact its original coolant.

Should I go with orange or green?

Thanks in advance.

Keep same color. Some coolants can get nasty and react with each other if mixed.

Flush it the dealer has a machine to flush nicely. Then use the (orange ). Dealer can double check. Yes u definitely CAN’T mix colors

Pretty unlikely that someone changed from Orange to Ford Green Specialty before 75K miles. The Green Specialty is the most expensive BTW. I think there might have been a mid-year change, which could explain the dealer confusion.
My 2010 takes green FWIW.
