Note: Automotive fluids are not

interchangeable. Do not use engine coolant

or antifreeze or windshield washer fluid

outside of its specified function and vehicle

location.

Adding Engine Coolant

• Do not mix different colors or types of

coolant in your vehicle. Make sure the

correct coolant is used. Mixing of

engine coolants may harm your

engine’ s cooling system. The use of an

improper coolant may harm engine and

cooling system components and may

void the warranty. Use prediluted

engine coolant meeting the Ford

specification. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 264).

• In case of emergency, a large amount

of water without engine coolant may

be added in order to reach a vehicle

service location. In this instance, the

cooling system must be drained,

chemically cleaned with Motorcraft

Premium Cooling System Flush, and

refilled with engine coolant 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.

Unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will

escape as you unscrew the cap.

Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the

Ford specification. See Capacities and

Specifications (page 264).

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

prediluted engine coolant to bring the

coolant level to the proper level.

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.

Severe Climates

If you drive in extremely cold climates:

• It may be necessary to have a Ford

authorized dealer increase the coolant

concentration above 50%.

• A coolant concentration of 60% will

provide improved freeze point

protection. Engine coolant

concentrations above 60% will

decrease the overheat protection

characteristics of the engine coolant

and may cause engine damage.

If you drive in extremely hot climates:

• It may be necessary to have a Ford

authorized dealer decrease the coolant

concentration to 40%.

• A coolant concentration of 40% will

provide improved overheat protection.

Engine coolant concentrations below

40% will decrease the freeze and

corrosion protection characteristics of

the engine coolant and may cause

engine damage.
