[s-cars] Orange coolant

[Gabriel Caldwell]

I run DexCool in my 90 for that reason, but you know what... if you
can't find G12 on the road, you can surely find water.  If you can't
find water, well then you are screwed anyway.  The new G12+ is
compatible with blue and pink.  Not sure about regular green though
although I suspect that's why they switched to it.  Too many people
dumping regular green in the old coolants and mucking things up.

In my opinion, you should run a coolant that is easily obtained.  If you

have a leak while on a trip away from home, you are going to have a hard

time finding the original G12. I've been running the new Prestone 
Extended Life which can be mixed with any other coolant.  I would still 
do a good flush before changing to this product.
