I believe Motorcraft Orange had a boiling point of over 130* C, I was running roughly 30% distilled water and the rest MC Orange before yesterday and after switching back to only MC Orange after a good system flush I noticed cooling performance is noticeably improved during hard driving with A/C on, 95* ambient temp, BT, I have not seen coolant temps on the AP over 210* F. Before running 30% distilled water, I have seen 230+
I HOPE that MC Orange you are currently using is the 50/50 pre-mixed version IF you are running it 100% out of the jug.

We are NOT supposed to run 100% full strength coolant in ANY scenario in modern cars, as it can actually cause damage to the water pump and engine for many various reasons. [nono]

Also, even if one lives in the Antarctic, there is a point where too much coolant in a mixture will actually cause the freezing point temp of the mixture to raise higher, somewhere around/after a concentration of coolant to water of 70%/30%.

I am very wary of running non-OEM coolant in cars because there is always some funky sensitivity around coolants in my experience lol
