Adding engine coolant

Use only Ford Premium Engine Coolant E2FZ-19549-AA (in
Canada, Motorcraft CXC-8-B) or a premium engine coolant that
meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A.
DO NOT USE Ford Extended Life Engine Coolant

F6AZ-19544-AA (orange in color).

DO NOT USE a DEX-COOLengine coolant or an equivalent

engine coolant that meets Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D.

DO NOT USE alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine

coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze.

DO NOT USE supplemental coolant additives in your vehicle.

These additives may harm your engine’s cooling system.

DO NOT MIX recycled coolant and conventional coolant

together in your vehicle. Mixing of engine coolants may harm
your engine’s cooling system.

The use of an improper coolant may harm engine and cooling

system components and may void the warranty of your vehicle’s
engine cooling system. If you are unsure which type of coolant
your vehicle requires, contact your local dealer.

To avoid scalding hot steam or coolant from being released from
the engine cooling system, never remove the pressure relief cap

from the engine coolant reservoir while the engine is running or hot.
Failure to follow this warning may result in damage to the engine’s
cooling system and possible severe personal injury.

Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid
reservoir. If engine coolant is sprayed onto the windshield, it

could make it difficult to see through the windshield.

When the engine is cool, add a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and
distilled water to the engine coolant reservoir, until the coolant is at the
“cold fill level” or within the “cold fill range” as listed in the engine
coolant reservoir (depending upon application).
NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.
NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.
