I see where oreilly is having a sale on universal coolant. Will this be compatible with 4.6 F 150 that came with green originally. Years 97-02. Is it any different than OEM ford coolant? Wanted to save a buck but not worth it if it causes long term issues. $4.99 gallon pre- mix.
 
No universal and orignial green coolant are not the same. The universal coolant is an organic acid coolant(OAT), and it does not contain phosphates and silicates. Original green coolant contains phosphates and silicates. Use the recommended coolant which is original green.
 
I switched to PGL in my 96 Ford with original green. Received much encouragement here, but I think it's a hoat or something. Not a dex clone...
