There's been a lot of talk about different color coolant. It seems that pink and blue do not mix. But what I have is green and orange. After my little explosion last week, I had the system flushed and refilled by a professional (january is no time to do that in my driveway in MN). The coolant was standard green, but he said it was phosphate-free. When I asked him what type I should use to top it off, he said Halvoline phosphate-free, which is orange. Is this bad? Is the green color an indication that the coolant currently in my system is not phosphate-free, or are there phosphate-free green coolants on the market?
