Checking the Engine Coolant
When the engine is cold, check the concentration and level of engine
coolant at the intervals listed in the Scheduled Maintenance chapter.
Note: Make sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the coolant reservoir.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the
MAX mark.
Note: If the level is at the MIN mark, below the MIN mark, or empty,
add coolant immediately. See Adding engine coolant in this section.
Note: For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300-ROB75240 available from an
authorized dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or
coolant test strips for measuring coolant concentrations.
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 Engine Coolant
WARNING: Do not add engine 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 engine coolant in the windshield washer
fluid container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant
could make it difficult to see through the windshield.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the
engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap.
The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
WARNING: Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.
