2020 Ford Expedition Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These signs can reflect depleted coolant, a leak, or another cooling-system concern. Do not open the system while it is hot or pressurized; checking it should be done cold. A service visit tests the coolant condition and system pressure to identify the next step.

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

The refill uses the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps distinguish a routine service from a leak that requires repair. The system should be checked cold because it can remain hot and pressurized after driving.

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

Coolant additives deplete separately from the fluid's ability to carry heat, so appearance is not enough to judge condition. The cooling system can also develop a leak that requires attention before scheduled maintenance. A technician can pressure-test the system and assess whether service or repair is appropriate.

• Follow the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during an intervening service visit
• Investigate low level, odor, or temperature changes promptly

Coolants are not interchangeable simply because they appear similar in a container. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle, so it should not determine a refill. David McDavid Ford can use the manufacturer-specified coolant type and concentration during service.

• Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
• Do not treat different coolants as interchangeable
• Do not identify coolant by colour alone

A level that keeps dropping indicates a leak rather than normal consumption and should lead to an inspection. Never open a cooling system while it is hot or under pressure; checking it is done cold. Pressure testing helps determine whether the system needs service or repair.

• Top-off does not restore depleted additives
• A repeatedly low level can indicate a leak
• Have the system checked cold and pressure tested
