Question 1

does the orange coolant turn pink when used?

Accepted Answer

This was taking from Ford...

NOTE: During normal vehicle operation, Motorcraft Orange Antifreeze/Coolant may change color from 
orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated, this color change 
does not indicate the engine coolant has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the 
system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.

Question 2

what is the difference btw vc-3dic-b and vc-3-b? is it just concentrated or 50/50?

Accepted Answer

When I go look this up I do not see vc-3dic-b. I see vc-3dil-b which is diluted. I did not look to see what the dilution factor was and the vc-3-b in not diluted. Hope this helps.

Question 3

I have seen the 1 gallon containers that say orange and "specialty"orange?  is this product the same?

Accepted Answer

Specialty Orange has been replaced by this product. It is backwards compatible, so can be used to add to Orange or in a basic radiator, or radiators in the case of the 6.7 Diesel, drain and fill. It would be best, if you are changing over, to do a complete flush of the system before going yellow. Do NOT use tap water as the yellow does not mix well with the minerals in most tap.

Question 4

Is it the same as Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted? Do you have an actual picture?

Accepted Answer

Not the same but backwards compatible. Please see copied excerpt below.
