WWWPerfA_ZN0W, Basically going from Coolant part number VC-7-B (which was put in my vehicle - Gold) to VC-10-A (or A2) Specialty Dark Green, right? Thanks.

Thanks everyone for their input. I spent some time in this forum as Non-member before buying the Edge. I have the Coolant chart as pdf in my computer. When I did search "Coolant" in this forum, the results came to 43 pages. I went through first 15 pages and still was not clear whether whoever had Gold coolant (from 07 to 09 MY) changed to Green. So, I posted the question. Now WWWPerfA_ZN0W cleared that doubt and Thank you sir. So, I will ask the dealer to change the coolant to Dark Green. I watched a lot of MacTFordEdge videos in the last 3 weeks and changed my steering fluid yesterday like he did. Thanks to him and all senior members here. Regards, Chotabeam

Hi, New owner of 2009 Limited (got it 3 weeks back). In the Welcome forum, some of the senior members greeted me - really happy. Mine is FWD and built before 01/16/2009. While buying, I noticed that the coolant was very dirty. So, after buying, took the vehicle to FORD dealer and did the Coolant Flush. After driving home, I noticed that the dealer has put the Gold Coolant. I went back and checked with dealer about the Green Specialty coolant. Dealer says that they have NOT seen the green coolant in the last 20 years - it is either Gold or Orange. I asked about whether the gold will create any problem with heater core, etc.... (because that is why Ford changed to Green, right). Dealer is ready to put Green Coolant, but I have to decide and tell them. Dealer says that 09 built before 01/16/2009 came with Gold, so they put Gold. What do you all suggest - if Gold is problematic, then I will go with Dark Green specialty. Over the years, if Ford fixed the Gold coolant (not to create any corrosion issues), then I will leave the coolant as it is. If Gold is problematic, then I will go for the Dark Green Coolant. Please suggest and let me know which one to go with. [ I already changed Transmission fluid with Valvoline Maxlife ATF and changing the Steering fluid this weekend with the same Valvoline Maxlife ATF. Brake fluid looks very clear, so later ]. Sorry if this is a wrong place to put this topic and Thanks in advance for any input/suggestions. Regards.

Greetings. Got a new-to-me 2009 Ford Edge Limited (FWD) yesterday. Happy to join this community and share mutually the experiences to enjoy the Edge for more years to come. - Chotabeam
