2022 Ford Explorer Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These symptoms can indicate depleted coolant, a leak, or another cooling-system concern. The system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done cold. A pressure test helps determine whether maintenance or repair is needed.

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

The refill uses the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps identify leaks that a fluid-level check may miss. The inspection helps separate a service due from a cooling-system repair that needs attention.

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

That schedule is the authority for replacement timing, while coolant condition can be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. Testing also helps identify a leak or other condition that routine replacement alone would not address. Book an inspection if the temperature gauge rises or the reservoir level drops.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Test coolant condition during service visits
• Pressure-test the system when a leak is suspected

Coolants are not interchangeable, so choosing fluid by convenience can compromise the intended protection of the system. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. David McDavid Ford can use the manufacturer-specified coolant during service and assess the system at the same visit.

• Use the manufacturer's 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. Never open a cooling system while it is hot or pressurized; checking it should be done cold. A pressure test can help identify whether the system needs service or repair.

• Top-off restores level only
• Recurring loss points to a possible leak
• Check the system cold, not when hot or pressurized
