Coolant Change - Ford Diesel 2012 Supplement Manual

water meeting the requirements of Rotunda 328-00007, is sufficient
for vehicle use. Using water that fails to meet the requirements can
lead to coolant passage scaling and degrade the engine's durability and
performance.
• Rotunda 328-00008 (Antifreeze Coolant ELC Contamination Kit) –
Evaluates the coolant concentration (freeze point protection) and
additive strength (corrosion inhibitor) for overall coolant health. Note
that the first step is to verify that the vehicle's coolant concentration
is in the window of 40 – 60%. If the concentration falls outside of that
window, the evaluation of the corrosion inhibitor strength will not be
valid. If the report results in a pass, the cooling system does not show
excessive contamination, no action is required. If the report results as
insufficient, the corrosion inhibitor (additive) strength of the coolant
is too low. Add entire contents of one bottle of Motorcraft Specialty
Orange Engine Coolant Revitalizer to the coolant reservoir. The
coolant can be recharged with this additive up to two times before the
coolant must be changed-out. When exchanging the full coolant
volume, the system must be flushed with Motorcraft Premium Cooling
System Flush and refilled with distilled water and coolant concentrate
(Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant).
• 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 with Motorcraft Premium
Cooling System Flush and refilled with distilled water and coolant
concentrate (Motorcraft Specialty Orange Coolant).
Refer to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this
chapter for the proper coolant and additive specifications.

Coolant change

At specific mileage intervals, as listed in the scheduled maintenance
information, the coolant should be changed. The optional message
center, if equipped, will also display the message COOLANT CHANGE
REQUIRED at this time.
Refer to Maintenance product specifications and capacities in this
chapter for the proper coolant.
