I ran into an emergency and used some generic orange coolant (50/50 mixed with water) in my 98 2.8, but only to get me to the dealership where I had the coolant system flushed and replaced that crap with Pentosin G12 (what our cars are supposed to use). My car doesn't seem to have suffered any ill effects, but like I said it was for less than 20 miles.
