Sounds like Evans coolant. http://www.evanscooling.com/index2.html

Here's a good thread, and a search should reveal many more:

I'm sure it's very good, but it's expensive. Although you do not have to change it with time, you would need more if you replace the water pump, or a hose breaks, or change the thermostat or...and it's not readily available. I don't believe it's worth it, especially for an N/A. It may be a good idea on the 3rd gens (or other turbo engines) because of the supposed increased protection against detonation. I'll stick to flushing and replacing with regular coolant and distilled water yearly, though.

From what I've read, there are two orange coolants: Prestone long-life and Havoline Dex-Cool. Although the they help prevent corrosion, they MAY eat the O-rings. I believe it was Dave at KDR, a respected rotary shop, that noticed a connection. I don't know of any proven link between orange coolant and failed O-rings but, personally, I wouldn't take the chance. Again, flushing and changing the green coolant yearly works well.
