Torque Specifications
| CAUTION | Some vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant VC-4-A (in Oregon VC-5, in Canada CXC-10) or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A (green color). Others are filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant VC-7-A (in Oregon VC-7-B) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 (yellow color). Do not mix coolant types. |
Note. The addition of Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets, VC-6, darkens Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant from yellow to golden tan.
The engine cooling system consists of the following
- block heater
- fan blade and clutch
- fan shroud
- radiator degas bottle and pressure relief cap
- thermostat
- water pump
- radiator
- radiator hose
- optional engine oil cooler
- engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor
- cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor
- electric radiator fan
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 degas bottle.
When adding engine coolant, use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water.
To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system
- Add Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant VC-4-A (in Canada CXC-10, in Oregon VC-5) or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A (green color), or Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant VC-7-A (in Oregon VC-7-B) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 (yellow color). Use the same coolant that is present in the system. Do not mix coolant types.
- Do not add orange-colored extended life coolant VC-2 (in Oregon VC-3, in Canada CXC-209) or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion protection.
- Do not add alcohol, methanol, brine, or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. These can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
- Do not mix with recycled coolant unless it meets the requirements of specification ESE-M97B44-A or WSS-M97B51-A1. Not all coolant recycling processes meet these specifications; use of such coolants may harm the engine and cooling system components.
