Actually year round , Ford vehicles come from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water to provide freeze , corrosion , and boil over protection
Ford states to not let the antifreeze drop below 40 % for corrosion protection and not to exceed 60 % antifreeze in colder climates and to follow the change intervals because the corrosion protection " portion " does wear out

What does 'professional flushing of antifreeze' mean?
A "professional flushing of antifreeze" is when a mechanic or other paid professional connects a hose assembly to your car radiator while at the same time opening the release valve (usually located at the bottom of the radiator) and forces water thru your car's water cooling system. The effect is to cleanse the system of old and rusted water and old antifreeze. This procedure is usually done just prior to adding new antifreeze to a car's cooling system, most often before the winter driving season. The end result being a more effective cooling system for the car. Hope this helps.
