Sorry I couldn't tack this on the appropriate thread, but I deleted it
already...
Here are some excerpts I found from an article at:

Isn't all antifreeze compatible? Sorry, but it isn't. There are a few cases
where you can get a fast case of corrosion, some where the water pump can be
both eroded and corroded to an early death, and a lot of cases where you can
shorten the effective life of the antifreeze.

Prestone believes you can retrofit to its organic acid orange almost any
vehicle with an aluminum radiator and cooling system that has been
well-maintained and is in good condition, if you do it right. However, the
antifreeze maker recognizes the possibility of a problem with Dodge truck
5.9-liter V8 water pumps, for which green or yellow/gold U.S. antifreeze is
recommended–if you don't get Chrysler's specific orange.
