2014 Ford Expedition Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These symptoms can reflect depleted coolant protection or a leak, so a test is more useful than relying on appearance alone. The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running; checking it should be done cold.

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

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps distinguish a service need from a leak requiring repair, while the component inspection looks for conditions that could affect cooling performance.

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

A service visit can also test coolant condition between scheduled points, which helps identify depleted additive protection or a developing leak. The result of that testing, together with the vehicle’s maintenance schedule, determines the appropriate next step.

• Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule
• Have coolant condition tested during service
• Investigate any dropping coolant level promptly

Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle, so selection should be based on the manufacturer’s requirement rather than visual matching. A coolant service uses the specified type and concentration for this vehicle.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not assume different coolants can be mixed
• Do not use colour alone to identify coolant

If the level keeps dropping, the vehicle has a leak rather than normal coolant consumption, and the system should be inspected. Never open a cooling system while it is hot or pressurized; checking it is done cold.

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