NOTE: If a major component of the cooling system is renewed such as the radiator, water pump
etc., the system should be flushed and re-filled with a 50% solution of Motorcraft Super Plus 2000
coolant and clean water.
In territories where the ambient temperature is such that no protection against freezing is required,
it is recommended that a 25% concentration of Motorcraft Super Plus 2000 coolant is used. This
will protect water pumps, core plugs, thermostat housings and radiators against corrosion for the
life of the engine and raise boiling point when used at this concentration. See previous Note on
renewing cooling system components.
The antifreeze concentration in a cooling system can be determined by using a
suitable hydrometer.
• A reading of 1080 represents a 50% antifreeze concentration.
• A reading of 1040 represents a 25% antifreeze concentration.
• A reading of 1000 represents plain water.
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE CONTAINS MONO ETHYLENE GLYCOL AND OTHER
CONSTITUENTS WHICH ARE TOXIC IF TAKEN INTERNALLY AND CAN BE ABSORBED IN
TOXIC AMOUNTS ON REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT. PERSONS USING
ANTIFREEZE ARE RECOMMENDED TO ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
• ANTIFREEZE MUST NEVER BE TAKEN INTERNALLY. IF ANTIFREEZE IS
SWALLOWED ACCIDENTALLY, MEDICAL ADVICE SHOULD BE SOUGHT
IMMEDIATELY.
• PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT WITH
ANTIFREEZE. IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SPILLAGE ONTO THE
SKIN, ANTIFREEZE SHOULD BE WASHED OFF AS SOON AS
PRACTICABLE. IF CLOTHING IS SPLASHED WITH ANTIFREEZE, IT
SHOULD BE REMOVED AND WASHED BEFORE BEING WORN AGAIN, TO
AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT.
• FOR REGULAR AND FREQUENT HANDLING OF ANTIFREEZE,
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (PLASTIC OR RUBBER GLOVES, BOOTS AND
IMPERVIOUS OVERALLS OR APRONS) MUST BE USED TO MINIMIZE
SKIN CONTACT.
