Depends on your radiator. Probably not, most pink coolant is for alloy rads.

Dude, this is a subject of much debate. I asked the same question a few months back. Please review the link below. I was going to use pink but went with blue.

Stick with blue or green, pink supposedly corrodes the solder in brass rads and heater matrix.
Blue needs changing less frequently than green.

which is why it was speced for the MPIs with the alloy rads.
