Noticed while having a look around under the bonnet, that the OAT coolant is a yellow colour
My other 18 plate fiesta mk8 has orange type
I usually keep a litre in the shed incase of any top ups, so guess I need to find a yellow one
Can find the Prestone one but not sure guess Ford put in what they have to hand I guess
Prestone LOYAF2100LGBA Coolant/Antifreeze - Ready to Use 1lt https://amzn.eu/d/04tzHFf
Guess if not a call to the parts dept see what they use
As a side note love the new oil dipstick with the little holes can clearly see the level
Puma ST Coolant
So a bit more research shows its P-OAT coolant ford moving over to possibly that is backwards compatible with the orange
Interesting video on you tube about Ford's yellow P-OAT
Though guess the Prestone would be fine for top ups to keep the colour as would the standard orange but guess would change the colour
Not that I'm expecting to as a new car

Checked with Ford parts they say that standard orange is ok if ever a top up was required
But to get investigated why it was needed as well

However, if the vehicle was manufactured with yellow coolant it must be serviced with yellow coolant to maintain a longer service life.
