I dont think orange/ pink is only dex, there is other coolant that is orangeish.I specifically asked for all makes all vehicles.

I'm sure there are exceptions to this but......
Bright Deep Green = Old phosphate coolant (does not mix with DEX)
Orange = Dex organic acid technology coolant (does not mix with phosphates)
Yellow or Yellow Green = New "mixes with any color" G-05 specification (sold at Wal Mart)
I have seen other colors including red and purple, but these are mostly dealer specific and are not widely available in the aftermarket.
Because of the possibility of getting it wrong, the safe approach is to use a coolant that says on the label "mixes with any color."

Well Haro your right.I looked out receipt and it says Dex.I went back and told them I want it out and he said I have to talk to manager in the morning.Pisses me off.I specifically told lady twice at counter I want all makes in and she even wrote it on her invoice.My own fault for trusting them.They will fix this believe me.
