2023 Ford Explorer Coolant in Fort Worth, TX

These symptoms can point to depleted coolant protection or a leak that needs repair. The cooling system should be checked cold because it is pressurized and hot after running.

• 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 refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps distinguish a service that is due from a leak requiring further repair.

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

That schedule distinguishes routine cooling-system inspection from coolant flush or replacement. Coolant condition can also be tested at a service visit between those points, particularly when symptoms appear or the reservoir level changes.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Have coolant condition tested during a service visit
• Book an inspection when symptoms or level changes occur

Coolants are not interchangeable, and colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. David McDavid Ford can use the manufacturer-specified coolant type and concentration during the service.

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

A level that keeps dropping indicates a leak rather than normal consumption. Never open the cooling system when it is hot or pressurized; checking it is done cold. A pressure test can help locate the cause.

• Top-off service does not renew depleted additives
• A repeatedly low level may indicate a leak
• Check the system only when cold
