Used PINK FleetGuard anitfreeze, is it OK?

I flushed my cooling system today and I used ethylene-glycol based, 50/50 pre-diluted FleetCharge antifreeze, which is pink in color. Is this pink stuff OK for our engines? I flushed the system good and got all of the old green stuff out. Has anyone used this pink stuff before? I hope I don’t have to drain it out.

Thanks Infidel. I was woried I had to dump $50 worth of coolant.

Is the pink stuff better than the green stuff? I’ve heard some say to just use what was there before, other’s say the pink is better than the green antifreeze. If so, then I’ll keep using the pink. For the FleetCharge they both say low-silicate, ethylene-glycol based.

I prefer the orange or pink. It's the long life type, don't have to change it as often.
