Quick coolant question
Hello Guys, can you mix orange and yellow coolant? I have orange in there now and cant seem to find any in my area.
Thanks

The Prestone Yellow stuff is designed for that. Make sure it says something along those lines on the jug.
Whatever you do, DONT mix orange and green.

I had what I thought was greenish/blueish, and added orange...no sludge yet...so I guess we're talkin about different stuff here
