Cooling system capacity
Refer to the Owners Manual for specific information to the model year.
Generally speaking, expect it to be in the 10-12 quarts range. That's a total of 50/50 mix of coolant + water.
Answer
The best way for me to answer that is if you open the hood and look at the coolant reservoir, the color of the top of the cap is usually what you put in it.
- For example, green on cap indicates conventional, green.
- Red or Orange on cap, dexcool,
- Gold, or yellow is Ford and Chrysler.
So the best thing to do is look at your cap. If for some reason you have an after market cap on your reservoir, then put Prestone muliti / universal coolant. It is made to mix with all types of coolant. I Flushed my radiator and just used that to refill the whole system.

Your 50 / 50 mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water should be right near the top of the radiator ( as long as you can put the cap on without the antifreeze mixture overflowing ) The plastic coolant reservoir in the passenger side of the engine compartment has a cold mark on it , just maintain your coolant level up to the cold mark when the engine is cold . ( Ford recommends to not drop below 40 % antifreeze and not exceed 60 % antifreeze in your engine coolant mixture )
