2016 FORD F650 cooling

•
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 251).
• 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.
Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the
Ford specification (Motorcraft Orange
Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted). See
Capacities and Specifications
(page
251).
Note: Generic coolants marketed for all
makes and models may not meet the Ford
specification and may cause damage to the
cooling system. This damage may void the
warranty. 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 prediluted engine coolant
(Motorcraft Orange Antifreeze/Coolant
Prediluted) to the FULL COLD level. For all
other vehicles which have a coolant degas
system with a pressurized cap, or if it is
necessary to remove the coolant pressure
relief cap on the radiator of a vehicle with
an overflow system, follow these steps to
add engine coolant.
1. Turn the engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick
cloth around the coolant pressure relief
cap on the coolant reservoir (a
translucent plastic bottle). Slowly turn
cap counterclockwise until pressure
begins to release. When you are sure
that all the pressure has been released,
use the cloth to turn it
counterclockwise and remove the cap.
3. Fill the coolant reservoir slowly with prediluted engine coolant to within the
FULL COLD level, or between the MIN
and MAX marks (within the COLD FILL
RANGE), as listed on the engine
coolant reservoir. If you removed the
radiator cap in an overflow system, fill
the radiator until the coolant is visible
and radiator is almost full. If coolant is
added to bring the level within the
COLD FILL RANGE when the engine is
not cold, the system may remain under
filled.
4. Replace the cap. Turn until tightly installed. Cap must be tightly installed
to prevent coolant loss.
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.

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.
Engine and Secondary Cooling
System Refill Procedure
The following procedure should be used
when refilling the engine or secondary
cooling systems after it has been drained
or become extremely low.
1. Before you remove the cap, turn the
engine off and let it cool.
2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Slowly turn cap
counterclockwise until pressure begins
to release.
3. Step back while the pressure releases.
4. When you are sure that all the pressure
has been released, use the cloth to turn
it counterclockwise and remove the
cap.
5. Slowly add prediluted engine coolant to the coolant reservoir until the
coolant level is within the COLD FILL
RANGE as listed on the reservoir.
6. Reinstall the pressure relief cap.
7. Start and run the engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes.
8. Shut engine off, and remove the pressure relief cap as previously
outlined.
9. If required, add prediluted engine coolant to the coolant reservoir until
the coolant level is within the COLD
FILL RANGE as listed on the reservoir. 10.
Engine cooling system: Repeat
Step 5 until the coolant level has
stabilized (is no longer dropping after
each step) AND the upper radiator
hose at the radiator is warm to the
touch (indicating that the engine
thermostat is open and coolant is
flowing through the radiator).
Secondary cooling system: Repeat
Step 5 until the coolant level has
stabilized (is no longer dropping after
each step) AND the lower passenger
side of the secondary radiator is
warm to the touch (indicating
secondary thermostat is open and
coolant is flowing through the entire
system).
11. Reinstall the pressure relief cap. Shut
the engine off and let it cool.
12. Check the coolant level in the reservoir before you drive your vehicle
the next few times (with the engine
cool).
13. If necessary, add prediluted engine coolant to the coolant reservoir until
the coolant level is within the COLD
FILL RANGE as listed on the reservoir.
After any coolant has been added,
check the coolant concentration. See
Adding Engine Coolant
earlier in
the chapter for more information.
Whenever coolant has been added, the
coolant level in the reservoir should be
checked the next few times you drive the
vehicle. If needed, add prediluted engine
coolant to bring the coolant level to the
proper level on the reservoir.
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.
197
F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing Maintenance

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.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme
climates should use prediluted engine
coolant for optimum cooling system and
engine protection.
Checking Coolant Corrosion
Inhibitor Additive Strength
At specific mileage intervals of 15,000 mi
(24,000 km), as listed in the scheduled
maintenance information chapter, the
coolant corrosion inhibitor additive should
be checked. The optional information
display, if equipped, will also display the
message CHECK COOLANT ADDITIVE at this time. The purpose of checking is to
verify the correct engine coolant
concentration (freeze point protection)
and corrosion inhibitor additive level
(strength) of the coolant for maximum
engine performance and protection.
Three products are available to confirm
the life and health of the coolant, one tool,
a test kit and a coolant inhibitor additive:
198
F650750 (TBC), enUSA, First Printing Maintenance

•
Robinair® Coolant and Battery
Refractometer 75240 available from
your dealer (Rotunda tool 023-75240)
– recommended refractometer to test
coolant concentration.
• Rotunda 328-R071–ELC (Antifreeze
Coolant ELC Contamination Kit) –
Evaluates the corrosion inhibitor
additive strength. Note the first step is
to verify the vehicle ’s coolant
concentration is in the correct range of
40 – 60%. Coolant concentrations
outside this range will not provide valid
test results. If the report results in a
pass, for example the cooling system
does not show excessive
contamination, the corrosion inhibitor
additive strength is sufficient, and no
action is required. If the report results
as insufficient (does not pass), the
corrosion inhibitor additive strength of
the coolant is too low. If the ENGINE
COOLING SYSTEM corrosion inhibitor
additive strength is low, add
48 fl oz
(1.42 L) of Motorcraft Specialty Orange
Engine Coolant Revitalizer. If the
SECONDARY COOLING SYSTEM
corrosion inhibitor additive strength is
low, add
16 fl oz (0.47 L) of Motorcraft
Specialty Orange Engine Coolant
Revitalizer.
• Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine
Coolant Revitalizer
– Additive to
boost the corrosion inhibitor level
based upon the test results of the
Antifreeze Coolant ELC Contamination
Kit. The Revitalizer may be added two
times over the life of the coolant. If
additional dosages are required, the
cooling system must be flushed and
refilled per the instructions in the
Workshop Manual.
Make sure to follow the proper coolant and
additive specifications. See
Capacities
and Specifications (page 251). Coolant Change
At specific mileage intervals, as listed in
the scheduled maintenance information,
the coolant should be changed. The
optional information display, if equipped,
will also display the message COOLANT
CHANGE REQUIRED at this time.
Make sure to follow the proper coolant
specifications. See
Capacities and
Specifications (page 251).
Engine-driven Cooling Fan (Fan
Clutch)
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine
driven cooling fan drive (also called a fan
clutch). This fan drive changes the fan
speed to match the vehicle ’s changing
cooling air flow requirements. Fan speed,
fan noise level and fuel consumption all
will increase based on the driving
conditions that include trailer towing, hill
climbing, heavy loads, high speed and high
ambient temperature, individually or in
combination.
The fan drive is designed to provide the
minimum fan speed (and resulting
minimum fan noise and fuel consumption)
required to meet the ever changing vehicle
cooling air flow requirements. You will hear
the amount of fan noise increasing and
decreasing as the engine power
requirements and vehicle driving conditions
change as you drive. This is to be expected
as being normal to the operation of your
vehicle. High levels of fan noise might also
be heard when your engine is first started,
and should normally decrease after driving
for a short time.
