I replaced my radiator today with a Koyorad Al radiator and slim fan. I realized I bought the "orange" coolant. I've only purged the cooing system and haven't driven the car. I really wasn't aware of this stuff, so I searched a bit, and found conflicting information:

Several sites claim that if the car didn't come with orange antifreeze, the system needs to be purged "immediately" or it will turn into a gel. Other sites claim that orange is exactly what is needed for an aluminum radiator, and it should stay.

I can flush it out no problem at this point, just don't want to waste my time if I'm good to go on this radiator.

The coolant claims it's for "all vehicles" on the container, apparently there is a multitude of opinions on this.

Thoughts?

the orange coolant is anti corrosive wont hurt it at all as long as you dont mix with green

Use only green coolant. Dump that crap!

Orange stuff doesn't last and only for gm cars. It sucks in them too.
