color has no effect on the performance of antifreeze... it all works the same and there will be no damage at all
You would get BROWN antifreeze, which would be difficult to see rust colors in. The bright green of antifreeze is designed to warn people what it is, because it is harmful or fatal if swallowed.
antifreeze is intended only for an engine, not for a transmission. there is coolant FOR a transmission, i would say that there would not be sufficient cooling for the transmission. it would probably overheat.
The Owner Guide shows Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A ( that would be the green color universal antifreeze )
Originally it would have come from the factory with GREEN colored antifreeze ( meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A )
I would recommend the old green antifreeze as the new Dex-cool is garbbage, it contributes to blown intake gaskets and head gaskets.
Then I would get my Green Card
it would be green :D
According to the 1997 Lincoln Town Car Owner Guide : ( it came from the factory with antifreeze that meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A ) * that would be green color antifreeze *
Nothing would happen.
The best place to start would be the owner's manual. Green.
According to the 1997 Ford F-150 owners manual : It would have come with green colored antifreeze from the factory ( meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A )
nothing would happen but enviroment people would be happier!
