Do not add engine coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and
scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you

badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.

Do not put engine coolant in the windshield washer fluid
container. If sprayed on the windshield, engine coolant could

make it difficult to see through the windshield.

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

Refer to

Lubricant

specifications

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, with the factory-filled coolant.

Mixing Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant or any
orange-colored extended life product 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.

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.
