• Be sure to read and understand Precautions when servicing your

vehicle in this chapter.

If the engine coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval,

the engine coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the reservoir is

low or empty, add engine coolant to the reservoir. Refer to Adding

engine coolant in this chapter.

Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine

coolant, antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified

function and vehicle location.

Adding engine coolant

When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant

and distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir, when the

engine is cool, until the appropriate fill level is obtained.

Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and

scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you

badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.

Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid

container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could

make it difficult to see through the windshield.

The cooling system in your vehicle is filled with either green-colored

Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant meeting Ford specification

ESE-M97B44–A or yellow-colored Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine

Coolant meeting Ford Specification WSS-M97B51–A1. To determine your

vehicle’s coolant type (color), check your coolant reservoir.

• Add Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant (green-colored),

VC-4–A (U.S.) or CXC-10 (Canada) or Motorcraft Premium

Gold Engine Coolant (yellow-colored), VC-7–A (VC-7–B in

Oregon), depending on the type of coolant originally equipped

in your vehicle. If you are unsure which type of coolant your vehicle

requires, check your coolant reservoir or contact your local dealer.

Note: Use of Motorcraft Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets, VC-6,

darkens the color of Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant from

yellow to golden tan.

• Do not add/mix an orange-colored, extended life coolant such

as Motorcraft Speciality Orange Engine Coolant, VC-2 (US) or

CXC-209 (Canada), meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44–D
