The biggest advantage to the orange what I'll call DexCool is it's silacate free and in an Aluminum radiator this is a very good thing. Now the down side to DexCool is the fact that it does not mix well with Green. The best way to do it is to run straight distilled water in the cooling system for a week and change the water out every few days total pain in the ass. Now with my New Rad water pump etc I did the water flush for a week and added the Peak universal that is Yellow. .Would have loved to do the DexCool but knowing it's a SHO and it could spring a leak at any minute.....I wanted something universal but with less of the of the Silicate's.

Don't mix the two colors together. They combine and become a jello like
sludge that will completely ruin your cooling system. Even after a good
flush of straight water, they can still cause problems.
