2015 Ford Explorer Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These signs can reflect depleted coolant protection or a leak. A level that keeps dropping should be inspected rather than repeatedly topped off. The system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done when cold.

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

The inspection covers the hoses, cap, radiator, and water-pump area. Pressure testing helps identify a leak that a coolant replacement alone would not address. Book service at David McDavid Ford in Fort Worth for a condition-focused evaluation.

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

Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. This matters because additives can deplete while coolant still appears to function normally. A technician can use the vehicle's condition and the manufacturer's schedule to determine the appropriate next step.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during service
• Inspect for leaks if the level drops

Coolants are not interchangeable, so the correct product matters when draining and refilling the system. Color is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle or what the vehicle requires. David McDavid Ford can service the cooling system according to the manufacturer's requirements.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not treat coolant types as interchangeable
• Do not use color alone to identify coolant

Adding fluid may temporarily correct a low reservoir, but it does not determine why the level changed or whether the coolant still protects the system. Never open a cooling system while it is hot or pressurized. Check it cold and book an inspection if the level falls again.

• Top-off restores level only
• Depleted additives require proper service
• Repeated level loss calls for leak inspection
