coolant
Doing the coolant drain, etc. PO put orange coolant in it, I'm pretty sure they mixed it with green. :|
Do I refill with orange or green. I don't think I can get ALL of the orange out by draining, then refilling with cleaner thing and water and then draining and running water through it again. Or can I?
After further research, I think orange might also be chryco coolant.
Will be running prestone extended life (which I'm pretty sure is yellow) it is ethylene glycol based.

Orange is usually OAT (dexcool-type) or HOAT, I don't think either is friendly with IAT (green). Sure, you can flush it out and refill with green. Don't forget to run the heater to flush that clear too.
