Had my reservoir replace in my car by a garage. Then when I left my radiator was leaking so I replaced it myself. The thing is my petcock was completely clogged and it had pink in my reservoir n the radiator was filled with green. I bought what the car called for Zerex go5 hoat. $224.00 is what he charged me. Did I get ripped off?

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.
