FIESTA ST180 Coolant Type

[Tom-st]

Hi,

I'm doing a coolant flush next week and I have ordered this coolant. From what I'm aware of, this is the new replacement coolant for fords that use the old oranage coolant.

Is this the correct coolant to use on the Fiesta ST180?


Thank you.

According to Ford they still recommend the orange stuff for the fiesta. When I replaced my radiator and I started with orange and then used like 5 gallons of distilled to remove the old stuff...

The new recommendation is Ford's newer yellow coolant, which can be safely mixed with the orange. Here in the US most don't buy the Ford brand coolant, and the orange coolant is still available from other manufacturers like Prestone and Zerex and store brands. And these tend to be less expensive than the yellow.

Here's a document Ford put out in 2020 in the US recommending the yellow coolant as a replacement for the orange coolant-
