Which coolant fluid?

[DIB2016]

If yours is at the MIN see if you could get something under the radiator to check for weeping fluid. A few 350's have had very slow radiator leaks (mine included).

It's been replaced under warranty!

My 2016 has a slow leak that i can't locate so it is headed to the dealer. How long long was your car down at the dealership for the swap?

just confirming that this is the correct coolant for the 2018 gt350r. the manual says this one but i notice the color in my reservoir is more pinkish while this amazon item is "orange". can anyone confirm? hopefully this will help others too.

edit: i've been looking online a lot and it seems this is the correct coolant for the gt350's. one reviewer says it's "pink" too.

Factory coolant is orange, Motorcraft VC-3DIL-B (VC-3B is the undiluted stuff, so you can get that and dilute yourself). Prestone, Zerex etc all make equivalent, but they also cost about the same. Some people say it looks pinkish when diluted, and it's the same stuff as DEXCOOL. OEM Motorcraft, $11-13 pre-dilluted at Walmart. Don't overthink it. Page 44 of the supplement (2017).

Can anyone confirm its VC-3DIL-B? Is there any specific instructions on topping it off:

- When to add (when car is cold/warm)
- How much to add (top it till max line or between min/max)

Anything else?

Mine is right at MIN, just want to carry one bottle in case I need one.

Confirmed.
