Ford Genuine Fluid VC-13-G Yellow Concentrated Antifreeze/Coolant - 1 Gallon

Genuine ford product at a good price

WORKS IN MY 1999 JAGUAR XK8

Ford seems to do this on a regular basis. They update the recommended antifreeze after finding the original formulation breaks down too quickly or in the case of the VC-3B (Orange) antifreeze. The OEM fluid in my '18 Escape was the Orange formulation. And similar to the same 'Dex-Cool' Orange, it broke down quickly and actually allowed components to degrade like head gaskets and other plastic cooling system parts. This new formulation is backwards compatible so you dont have to completely flush out the old fluid. I just drain a gal of the old, add a gallon of concentrated new formulation (yellow VC 13) and then drive. I have done this three times and I have a very strong mixture of the new vs the old formulation. Be sure to top of with distilled water ONLY. Tap water has too many minerals and will shorten the life of the antifreeze no matter what vehicle you are servicing. I am sure this would do fine in earlier Fords as well with the VC-7 (Gold) but a complete flush is recommended. Yellow (13) is not backwards compatible with Gold (VC-3) though it will work FINE with the earlier Ford products like 08-11 Escapes.

It's coolant

Bought two jugs and have half of one jug left over. Seems to be just the right thing. Looks green in the pictures but is yellow/gold out of the jug.

Found same product considerably cheaper after receiving item. Also, shipping was unusually slow.

Finding the proper yellow POAT antifreeze for my new 2024 F-250 was challenging, since I didn't want to just use the universal stuff. This is the concentrate, so it's like buying two jugs, which means it really is your best bargain (how hard is it to mix 50/50, really?). Besides, it's OEM too, so no worries about any warranty whining, either, if something were to go wrong.

Exactly as described
