Freezing Protection
*
[SV19600( ALL)03/91]
The factory-installed solution of Ford Premium
Cooling System Fluid and water will protect
your vehicle to
S
35˚F (
S
37˚C). Check the freeze
protection rating of the engine coolant at least
once a year, just before winter.
*
[SV19701( ALL)06/95]
Add engine coolant only to the coolant
reservoir.
If the coolant level is low, add to the
reservoir a 50/50 mixture of water and the type
of engine coolant that Ford specifies. You may
add water by itself only in an emergency, but
you should replace it with a 50/50 mixture as
soon as possible. Check the engine coolant again
the next few times you drive your vehicle.
