Hi,

I'm not sure what you are asking. The coolant you indicated is good to use on this vehicle. However, it only comes in two different colors, red for Chrysler and yellow for Ford. I have never seen it in green. Is it possible that two different colors mixed creating what you see? Could you have purchased yellow that appears to be green?

In a perfect world, that is preferred. However, unless requested, most shops only replace what was lost. Do you suspect two different colors mixed?

Let me know if I can help.
