5. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with the proper coolant mixture to the

MAX level on the reservoir. If you removed the radiator cap in an

overflow system, fill the radiator until the coolant is visible and radiator

is almost full.

6. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. Cap must be tightly

installed to prevent coolant loss.

After any coolant has been added, check the coolant concentration (refer

to Checking engine coolant). If the concentration is not 50/50, drain

some coolant and adjust the concentration. It may take several drains

and additions to obtain a 50/50 coolant concentration.

Whenever coolant has been added, the coolant level in the coolant

reservoir should be checked the next few times you drive the vehicle. If

necessary, add enough 50/50 concentration of engine coolant and

distilled water to bring the liquid level to the proper level.

If you have to add more than 1.0 quart (1.0 liter) of engine coolant per

month, have your authorized dealer check the engine cooling system.

Your cooling system may have a leak. Operating an engine with a low

level of coolant can result in engine overheating and possible engine

damage.

Recycled engine coolant

Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine

coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.

Used engine coolant should be disposed of in an appropriate

manner. Follow your community’s regulations and standards for recycling

and disposing of automotive fluids.

Coolant refill capacity

To find out how much fluid your vehicle’s cooling system can hold, refer

to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this chapter.

Fill your engine coolant reservoir as outlined previously in the Adding

engine coolant section.

Severe climates

If you drive in extremely cold climates:

• It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration

above 50%.

• NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.
