2016 Ford Edge Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These observations can indicate depleted coolant or a leak that needs inspection. The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done when the vehicle is cold. A service visit can test the system and help identify the cause.

• 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 replacement coolant uses the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps separate routine service from a leak requiring repair. The inspection also looks for visible conditions that could affect cooling-system performance.

• 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. Additives deplete while the fluid may still look normal, so appearance alone does not establish condition. The vehicle's maintenance schedule and the result of inspection or testing guide the recommendation.

• Follow the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule
• Have coolant condition tested during a service visit
• Address leaks based on the condition found

The correct coolant also needs the manufacturer-specified concentration for this vehicle. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle, so selecting fluid by appearance can introduce the wrong product. David McDavid Ford can service the system according to the vehicle's requirements.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Use the manufacturer-specified concentration
• Do not choose coolant by colour alone

The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running, so check it only when the vehicle is cold. A top-off may not address depleted coolant or pressure loss. Book an inspection if the reservoir repeatedly falls, a puddle appears, or the temperature gauge rises.

• Check the system only when it is cold
• Do not treat recurring low level as normal consumption
• Book an inspection for repeated level loss
