2014 Limited 5.4l. ( Which Coolant do you guys trust)?

[Ron1978]

I was checking wife’s ride and the coolant had small particles all in the coolant, I want to Flush it and put new in. What coolant do you use in it and how much? What flush works best?
Thank you

Fordtechmakuloco recommends the Gold coolant.

Did you go with the new yellow coolant?

My truck came with the orange, which they no longer make. I replaced with the yellow. A vacuum filer for the job is ideal imho, but last time I did a full flush I just ran distilled water through it until it ran clear, then drained half and filled with concentrated coolant.

I use Ford VC-13 Yellow coolant (replacement for the orange OEM fill).

I used Motorcraft VC-13-G / Yellow in my '07 Navigator's 5.4L 3V as per Fordtechmakuloco.
Be forewarned if you buy concentrate from Amazon you might receive 50/50 instead. I ordered concentrate from 2 separate vendors twice, and both times I was sent 50/50.

Watched the video, but...
Did FTM say VC-13-G yellow can mix with VC-7 gold? (For example , topping off after a leak )

Or can VC-13-G yellow only be used after a complete system flush?

 

[KOTU]

Yes, if I understood it correctly, the yellow coolant can be mixed with gold.
Another thing I did when I had my engine apart for doing the timing is, I installed a 3/8" I.D. hose with a hose clamp onto the radiator drain to make changing the coolant in the future that much easier. Also when I had the engine apart I put on a new water pump and a new oil pump. I took a lot of pictures ... here let me set up the slide projector. ...lol

Directly from Ford:

Motorcraft® Yellow Antifreeze/Coolant can be used to top-off or entirely replace (drain and
refill) antifreeze/coolant in vehicles factory-filled with Motorcraft® Orange
Antifreeze/Coolant and Motorcraft® Specialty Green Engine Coolant.

If I remember correctly (and maybe I don't), gold is HOAT, orange is OAT and yellow is POAT.
