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.
