Note: less than 80% of coolant capacity can be recovered with the engine in the vehicle. Dirty, rusty or contaminated coolant requires replacement. 1. Release the pressure in the cooling system by slowly turning the pressure relief cap one half turn counterclockwise. When the pressure is released, remove the pressure relief cap. 2. Place a suitable container below the radiator draincock (8115). If equipped, disconnect the coolant return hose at the oil cooler. 3. Open the radiator draincock. 4. Close the radiator draincock when finished. Filling and bleeding with radkitplus 1. Using the special tool, install the radkitplus and follow the radkitplus manufacturer’s instructions to fill and bleed the cooling system. Filling without radkitplus caution: 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.

1. Release the pressure in the cooling system by slowly turning the pressure relief cap one half to one turn counterclockwise to the first stop on the filler neck. When the pressure has been released, remove the pressure relief cap. 2. Raise and support the vehicle. For additional information, refer to section 100-02. 3. Remove the front splash shield. 4. Place a suitable container below the radiator draincock. Drain the coolant. 5. Close the radiator draincock when finished. Filling and bleeding with radkitplus 1. Using the special tool, install the radkitplus and follow the radkitplus manufacturer’s instructions to fill and bleed the cooling system. Filling without radkitplus to maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system: add motorcraft premium engine coolant vc-4-a (in oregon vc-5, in canada cxc-10) or equivalent meeting ford specification ese-m97b44-a. Do not add motorcraft specialty engine coolant vc-2 or an equivalent meeting ford specification wss-m97b44-d. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant’s corrosion protection.

Draining warning: never remove the pressure relief cap under any conditions while the engine is operating. Failure to follow these instructions can result in damage to the cooling system or engine, or result in personal injury. To avoid having scalding hot coolant or steam blow out of the cooling system, never remove the pressure relief valve from a hot degas bottle. Wait until the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and turn it slowly one turn (counterclockwise). Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When certain all the pressure has been released, remove the pressure relief cap (still with a cloth). Caution: the coolant must be recovered in a suitable, clean container for reuse. If the coolant is contaminated, it must be recycled or disposed of correctly and replaced. Caution: some vehicle cooling system 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 coolant vc-7-a (in oregon vc-7-b) or equivalent meeting ford specification wss- m97b51-a1 (yellow color). Always fill the cooling system with the same coolant that is present in the system. Do not mix coolant types. Note: the addition of motorcraft cooling system stop leak pellets, vc-6, darkens motorcraft premium gold engine coolant from yellow to golden tan. Note: less than 80% of coolant capacity can be recovered with the engine in the vehicle. Dirty, rusty or contaminated coolant requires replacement. 1. Release the pressure in the cooling system by slowly turning the pressure relief cap one half turn counterclockwise. When the pressure is released, remove the pressure relief cap. 2. Place a suitable container below the radiator draincock (8115). If equipped, disconnect the coolant return hose at the oil cooler. 3. Open the radiator draincock. 4. Close the radiator draincock when finished. Filling and bleeding with radkitplus 1.

Using the special tool, install the radkitplus and follow the radkitplus manufacturer’s instructions to fill and bleed the cooling system. Filling and bleeding without radkitplus caution: 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 clean, drinkable water. To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system: add motorcraft premium engine coolant vc-4-a (vc-5 in oregon, cxc-10 in canada) or equivalent meeting ford specification ese-m97b44-a (green color), or motorcraft premium gold engine coolant vc-7-a or equivalent meeting ford specification wss-m97b51-a1 (yellow color). Use the same coolant that was drained from the cooling system. Do not mix coolant types. Do not add orange-colored motorcraft speciality orange engine coolant vc-2 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 recycled coolant unless it meets the requirements of ford specification ese-m97b44-a or wss-m97b51-a1. Not all coolant recycling processes meet these ford specifications. Use of such a coolant may harm the engine and cooling system components. On 3.9l engines 1. Remove the engine fill cap.
