    Are you sure its Orange?
    I have had 3 different Volvo's and all have used the Red ELC.

    Someone told me today , that I'm supposed to have red antifreeze in there . Would it be a good idea to flush the system and change it to red antifreeze ?

    That would do be a good idea as some types are not compatible with each other.

    I like to run the factory coolant in my cooling system.

    Virtually everything from the factory, irregardless of brand of engine, has gotten red ELC coolant for several years. Even my previous 2005 Cummins came with red ELC. That is all I ever use. Best stuff available now. No SCA nonsense like previous coolants, lasts a heck of a lot longer, and provides better liner cavitation protection and water pump lubrication. And it really isn't expensive.
