coolant to “wear out” in a shorter time. Ford recommends an interim

service interval performed at 12 months or 24 000 km (15 000 miles),

whichever occurs first. Add 237–295 ml (8–10 oz.) of supplemental

coolant additive FW-16 to the cooling system. For vehicles with extensive

idling time, add 237–295 ml (8–10 oz.) of coolant additive FW-15 after

every 500 hours of operation.

Operating engine with insufficient coolant and/or coolant additive can

cause severe engine damage.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious

personal injury from hot coolant or steam blow out and/or

damage to the cooling system or engine. Never remove the coolant

bottle cap under any circumstances while the engine is operating.

Switch off the engine and wait until it has cooled. Wrap a thick cloth

around the cap and turn it slowly while the pressure is relieved. Step

back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When you

are sure all the pressure has been released, still with a cloth — turn

and remove it. Stand clear of the opening. Hot coolant may splash out.

Whenever coolant level checks are made, check condition of coolant

bottle cap rubber seal. Make sure it is clean and free of any dirt

particles. Rinse off with water, if necessary. When replacing cap on

coolant bottle, also make sure coolant bottle neck seal is clean. Check

that overflow hose is not kinked.

Coolant specification

Use only a permanent-type coolant that meets Ford Specification

ESE-M97B44–A such as Ford Premium Cooling System Fluid

E2FZ-19549–AA. Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or mix them

with the specified coolant.

Use of the wrong coolant may cause radiator and/or engine damage.

Plain water may be used in an emergency, but replace it with the

specified coolant as soon as possible to avoid damage to the system. With

only water in the system, do not let the engine run hot or remain parked

in temperatures below 0°C (32°F).

Coolant conditioner (liquid)

A supplemental coolant additive FW-16 has been added to the coolant in

this engine.
