When the engine is cold, check the
level of the engine coolant in the
reservoir.
•The coolant should be at the “cold fill range” as listed on the engine
coolant reservoir and intercooler coolant reservoir.
•Refer to thescheduled maintenance informationfor service interval
schedules.
•Be sure to read and understandPrecautions when servicing your
vehiclein yourOwner’s Guide.
If the coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval, the
engine or intercooler coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the
reservoir is low or empty, add coolant to the reservoir. Refer toAdding
coolantin 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 coolant
When adding coolant, make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of coolant and
distilled water. Add the mixture to the coolant reservoir,when the
engine is cool, until the appropriate fill level is obtained.

WARNING:Do not add 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.
WARNING:Do not put coolant in the windshield washer fluid
container. If sprayed on the windshield, 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-5-A (U.S., Mexico) or CXC-10 (Canada) or Motorcraft
Premium Gold Engine Coolant (yellow-colored), VC-7-B,
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.
•Do not add/mix an orange-colored, extended life coolant such
as Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant, VC-3 (U.S.,
Mexico) or CXC-209 (Canada), meeting Ford specification
WSS-M97B44-D with the factory-filled coolant.Mixing Motorcraft
Specialty 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 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
coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone (without
coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion, overheating or
freezing.
•
Do not use alcohol, methanol or 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.
