ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

Checking the Engine Coolant

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine, refer to

Maintenance and Specifications section of your Diesel Supplement

The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the

intervals listed in scheduled maintenance information.

Note: Make sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on

the coolant reservoir.

The coolant concentration should be maintained within 48% to 50%, which

equates to a freeze point between -30°F (-34°C) and -34°F (-37°C).

Note: For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a

refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300-ROB75240 available from your

dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test

strips for measuring coolant concentrations.

Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the

MAX mark.

If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant immediately.

Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine

coolant/antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified

function and vehicle location.
