To find out how much engine coolant mixture
your vehicle’s coolant system can hold, see Refill
capacities for fluids in the Index.
% [SV19200( ALL)12/94]
Add engine coolant only to the recovery
reservoir. If the coolant level is low, add a 50/50
or appropriate mixture of water and the type of
engine coolant that Ford specifies. You may add
water by itself only in an emergency, but you
should replace it with a 50/50 or appropriate
mixture as soon as possible.

[SV19300( ALL)01/95]
Have your dealer check the engine cooling
system for leaks if you have to add more than a
quart (liter) of engine coolant more than once a
month.
