Significant Technical Input
Just a small comment...

The orange stuff (normally known as Dex-Cool) is supposed to be good for five years, however, cars that use it are engineered for it specifically. We're seeing cars that have either had orange added to green, green flushed and replaced with orange, etc. and it isn't pretty - the stuff will gunk up in the system. Kinda nasty. We're told by the manufacturers that water pump seals and gaskets are developed for its usage.

Just thought I'd tell y'all what we're seeing and maybe keep someone from messing up...
