2015 Ford Focus Coolant

These symptoms can reflect depleted coolant protection or a leak, so adding fluid alone may not resolve the cause. The system is hot and under pressure after running; any checking should be done cold. A pressure test and inspection can identify what needs attention.

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

The replacement coolant is the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Testing helps distinguish coolant that needs service from a leak requiring repair. This process addresses both fluid condition and the system's ability to hold pressure.

• 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. Additive protection can deplete while the fluid still looks normal, so appearance is not enough to judge condition. David McDavid Ford can evaluate the coolant and pressure-test the system when you bring in the vehicle.

• Follow the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule
• Have coolant condition tested between scheduled points
• Use pressure testing to help identify leaks

Coolants are not interchangeable, and color is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. The service department uses the manufacturer's specified type and concentration for the vehicle. If the fluid needs attention, a service visit can also include a system pressure test and component inspection.

• Use the coolant type specified by the manufacturer
• Do not treat coolant colors as interchangeable identifiers
• Pair a refill with a pressure and component check

The cooling system is hot and under pressure after the vehicle runs, so checking it should be done cold. A recurring low level should not be treated as normal consumption. A pressure test at David McDavid Ford can help determine whether the system is leaking.

• Top-off service does not restore depleted additives
• Repeatedly falling level points to a possible leak
• Check the system only when it is cold
