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

with the factory-filled coolant. Mixing Motorcraft Speciality Orange

Engine Coolant or any orange-colored extended life product with your

factory filled coolant can result in degraded corrosion protection.

• A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case

of emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the

cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of

engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone

(without engine coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion,

overheating or freezing.

• Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any engine coolants

mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant). Alcohol

and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or

freezing.

• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant. These

can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the engine

coolant.

• Do not mix with recycled coolant unless from a Ford-approved

recycling process (see Use of Recycled engine coolant section).

For vehicles with overflow coolant systems with a non-pressurized cap

on the coolant recovery system, add coolant to the coolant recovery

reservoir when the engine is cool. Add the proper mixture of coolant and

water to the “cold full” level. For all other vehicles, which have a coolant
