2010 Ford Expedition Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These signs can indicate depleted coolant protection or a leak that needs repair. The system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done cold. A service visit helps identify the condition found rather than relying on appearance alone.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle under the front of the vehicle
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The replacement coolant uses the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. The pressure test helps distinguish routine service from a leak requiring repair. David McDavid Ford can evaluate the cooling system and explain the condition found.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area

Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. That evaluation helps determine whether the fluid's additive protection remains suitable or whether service is needed sooner based on the condition found. The system should be checked cold because it is pressurized and hot after operation.

• Use the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during a service visit
• Pressure-test the system when a leak is suspected

Coolants are not interchangeable, and colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. David McDavid Ford can use the manufacturer-specified coolant type and concentration when servicing the vehicle. A technician can also evaluate the existing coolant and cooling system condition.

• Follow the manufacturer's coolant specification
• Do not treat different coolants as interchangeable
• Do not use colour alone to identify coolant

If the level keeps dropping, the situation indicates a leak that should be inspected rather than treated as normal consumption. Never open a hot cooling system; it is under pressure after running, and checking it is done cold. A pressure test can help identify the next step.

• Adding coolant does not replenish depleted additives
• A repeatedly low level calls for leak inspection
• Check the system only when it is cold
