Pink coolant in mustang

[WhiteShadow5456]

Hello, I bought my 2015 Mustang GT in March. I just swapped out my degas tank and noticed it was pink. I see a few posts here that it's supposed to be orange. I barely skimmed the surface on researching enough about the different colors being set up for different cars engine styles like seals and metals used. My question is if this were your car would you drain and add the correct coolant or let it be?

Actually if you research it you will find Ford switched to a Yellow coolant several years ago. It is backward compatible with the orange. The yellow is superior to the orange but I'll let you look and see why. If I were you I'd do a drain and fill and maybe 2. It could take three drains and fills to make your coolant in the tank look yellow according to one member here. And the reason your coolant is pink is because the orange oxidizes over time however the coolant can still be fine.
