Default Yellow Antifreeze

got two questions how much anti freeze does the the system hold? I was gona flush it when I put my cooler bypass filter on also I have the green antifreeze and I saw somewhere that the yellow already has the addative in it is this true? if it is do you have to buy a motorcraft brand of it just for diesel or does prestone or someone make it also the only yellow i saw said extended life on it.

If the truck has green antifreeze in it from the factory, leave it in.

Something to do with injector cup material. Let me try and look into it for you and I will let you know for sure.

I personally like the green antifreeze with the SCA in it better than the yellow **** without the additive.

you need to stay with what the factory has or buy a antifreeze that specifies "add to any color". you will have problems. Final charge 50/50 is orange, and can be added to any color. IF your in Nampa, come by and see me. Conrad and Bischoff, Nampa, id. I sell it buy the 55 gallon drum to 1 gallons. all kinds.

Here you go we carry this full line along with mobil permazone...maybe look to see what you want and learn a bit. You'll see the ones that specify "add to any color" believe it or not Honda is blue..
