ITEM DESCRIPTION

Thermostat

Install a new thermostat only after the following tests and checks have been carried out

1. Pinpoint Test A, B or C
2. Thermostat Visual Inspection

Filling and Bleeding with a Vacuum Cooling System Filler

Note. The engine cooling system is filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Always fill the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. If a non-specified coolant has been used the cooling system must be chemically flushed. Refer to COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHING in this service information. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.

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

Note. Engine coolant provides boil protection, corrosion protection, freeze protection, and cooling efficiency to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, maintain the engine coolant at the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.

To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system

Scheme 37

1. Add Motorcraft® Specialty Orange Engine Coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D (orange color).
2. Do not add or mix with any other type of engine coolant. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion protection.
3. 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.
4. 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. 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 engine coolant to distilled water. For extremely cold climates (less than -37°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 -50°C (-58°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 -26°C (-15°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 between the COOLANT FILL LEVEL marks. Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 engine coolant to distilled water.

2. Select the maximum heater temperature and blower motor speed settings. Position the control to discharge air at A/C vents in instrument panel.
3. Start the engine and allow to idle. While engine is idling, feel for hot air at A/C vents.
4. NOTE: If the air discharge remains cool and the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) gauge does not move, the engine coolant level is low and must be filled. Stop the engine, allow the engine to cool and fill cooling system. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the engine. Start the engine and allow it to idle until normal operating temperature is reached. Hot air should discharge from A/C vents. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) gauge should maintain a stabilized reading in the middle of the NORMAL range. The upper radiator hose should feel hot to the touch.
5. Shut the engine off and allow the engine to cool.
6. Check the engine for coolant leaks.
7. Check the engine coolant level in the degas bottle and fill as necessary.
