Default What coolent to use in an ecoboost?

Just seen that I have very little coolent in the resivoir and was wondering what coolent to use.
I thought it was the orange dexcool but thought I seen somewhere that it wasn't.
I can't even stop at the dealership as its a holiday here. So I think I'm going to have to tey a gas station and not sure if they will have it.
I also heard that the resivoir bottles leak.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

What does your manual say? Motorcraft Orange. Google it and you'll find that it's Dexcool. When you mix it with water it turns pink.

Motorcraft® Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Concentrated

It's not dexcool, it may be the same color but the properties are quite different.
