Coolant Type/colours For Ford Fiesta St

Hi, I hope you can help...



I noticed my engine coolant is on the MIN mark when the engine is cold, it goes up when hot, but not by much.


I want to top it up so it's between MIN & MAX when cool.



I went to the Ford Dealership and bought some Ford SUPER PLUS PREMIUM coolant today.


I noticed it was more a yellow/light orange colour, compared to the pink colour that is in there at the moment.


When I asked if they had the 'pink variety' the guy there said that they only have one type, and that it's fine to


top it up with the one they gave me, even though it's a different colour. He claimed that "the coolant is always pink from the factory".



I have left my engine to cool and was about to top up with a 50/50 mix of coolant and de-ionised water, when I thought I best check the manual, in which it states:



"Do not mix different colours or types of coolant in your vehicle".



I'm hesitant to do what should be a simple job, what with being given conflicting information.



I'm not looking to drain all the coolant, I just want to top it up, so I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's safe to do so with the coolant I've been given?



Any help would be much appreciated.
