Hahaha. Fett, you got OW3D!!!
A guy at autozone once told me that for the cougar you cannot use the green stuff since you have the red stuff in already... He said they will chemically react with eachother and destroy your engine! I filed it as a load of crap, but I thought it was kinda funny and figured I'd share!Originally posted by: DyingBreed02
I wouldn't recomment changing to the green antifreeze.....I've hear if you use the green stuff it reacts with the alum. block and heads and starts to corrode it from the inside......I wouldn't do it!!!!

But is a better coolant.
Running temps are the same, and orange coolant tends to clog radiators. I change my coolant every year, and am changing to green coolant next month.
