There's been articles on the orange/DexCool stuff getting too oxygenated and corroding the passages on the engines and related gear. If you're getting the orange replaced every year or two, it's not too much of an issue, but keeping the stuff over 4 or more years and just topping it off is when the problems start rearing their ugly heads...and most of the issues trace themselves back to the DexCool and its lack of replacement...the green stuff is more durable and is easier on the coolant passages.
Therefore, the switch...
Why didn't I switch sooner?
The orange has been changed and flushed...two deer and two separate hose leaks over the years of driving this thing (I started with less than 80 on the odometer back in Dec. '99).
