Filling and Bleeding with a Vacuum Cooling System Filler

Note. The engine cooling system is filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Do not mix coolant types. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant.

Note. Engine coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion protection to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine coolant must be maintained at the correct concentration and fluid level in the coolant expansion tank. To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system: Add Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D (orange color). Use the same type of coolant that was drained from the system. Do not mix coolant types. Do not add or mix with any other type of engine coolants. Mixing coolants degrades the coolant's corrosion protection. Do not add alcohol, methanol or brine, or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. These can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing. Ford Motor Company does NOT recommend the use of recycled engine coolant in vehicles originally equipped with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant since a Ford-approved recycling process is not yet available.

Scheme 9

1. Install the vacuum cooling system filler and follow the manufacturer's instructions to fill and bleed the cooling system. Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 ethylene glycol to distilled water. For extremely cold climates (less than -36°C [-34°F]): It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%. NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%. Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas. A coolant concentration of 60% will provide freeze point protection down to -52°C (-62°F). Engine coolant concentration above 60% will decrease the overheat protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine. For extremely hot climates: It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration above 40%. NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%. Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60 for warm weather areas. A coolant concentration of 40% will provide freeze point protection down to -24°C (-12°F). Engine coolant concentration below 40% will decrease the corrosion and freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine. Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water for optimum cooling system and engine protection.

1. Fill the radiator through the degas bottle until the coolant level is at the max fill line on the degas bottle. Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 ethylene glycol to distilled water.

2. Install the pressure relief cap.
3. Start the engine, run and hold at 2,500 RPM for 15 minutes.
4. Increase the engine speed to 5,000 RPM and then decrease to idle. Repeat six times.
5. Increase the engine speed to 4,000 RPM for ten seconds, then return the engine speed to 2,500 RPM and hold for another ten minutes.
6. Decrease the engine speed to idle, shut the engine off and allow to cool.
7. Check the engine and cooling system for any leaks.
8. Check the coolant level in the degas bottle and fill as necessary.
