Coolant Color

[B-Dog15]

Was wondering if this is normal coolant color? Other than being laughably overfilled by my dealer I noticed the color seems to be slightly darker on the bottom than on top. Anyone else's look like this?

It’s a gold/yellow color coolant. Yours looks fine to me. Darker on bottom as its father from the sunlight coming in from above I suspect.

So I’m just a big idiot?

Looks like maybe mixed yellow/orange (newer ford coolants) and green (older and diesel coolants). You really don't want to mix coolant types.

Could also just be a trick of the light making it look like there's a layer of green.

I would take these pictures and the vehicle back to the dealer.

I’m not saying that. Mine looks like 2 shades also.
I refilled my own so I know I have the correct product.
The Overfill, I’d not worry, it still has 50% empty for expansion.
