Changing The Engine Air Filter - Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 2020 Supplement Manual

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
prediluted coolant to bring the coolant
level to the proper level.
If you have to add more than 1 qt (1 L) of
coolant per month, have your dealer check
the 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.
