Add Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant or equivalent
meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1.

Refer to

Maintenance product specifications and capacities

in this chapter.

Note:

Use of Motorcraft Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets or an

equivalent product meeting Ford specification WSS-M99B37-B6, may
darken the color of Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant from
yellow to golden tan.

•

Do not add/mix an orange-colored, extended life coolant such
as Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant, meeting Ford
specification WSS-M97B44-D, or DEX-COOL

威

brand with the

factory-filled coolant.

Mixing Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine

Coolant or any orange-colored extended life product such as
DEX-COOL

威

brand with your factory filled coolant can result in

degraded corrosion protection.

•

A large amount of water without engine coolant may be added, in case
of emergency, to reach a vehicle service location. In this instance, the
cooling system must be drained and refilled with a 50/50 mixture of
engine coolant and distilled water as soon as possible. Water alone
(without engine coolant) can cause engine damage from corrosion,
overheating or freezing.

•

Do not use alcohol, methanol, brine or any engine coolants
mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze (coolant).

Alcohol

and other liquids can cause engine damage from overheating or
freezing.

•

Do not add extra inhibitors or additives to the coolant.

These

can be harmful and compromise the corrosion protection of the engine
coolant.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the

engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap.

The cooling system is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come
out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.

Note: The process stated below should only be used when the
coolant level is low and additional coolant is needed. If the
coolant system has been drained in any way, you must refer to
the Cooling section of the Workshop Manual.

1. Before you begin, turn the engine off and let it cool.

2. When the engine is cool, wrap a thick cloth around the coolant
pressure relief cap on the coolant reservoir (an opaque plastic bottle).
Slowly turn cap counterclockwise (left) until pressure begins to release.
