Usually a 50 / 50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water for year round use to provide

corrosion protection , freeze and boil over protection . In colder climates , Ford states

not to exceed 60 % antifreeze . The corrosion protection " portion " of the antifreeze

does wear out so follow the suggested change intervals for the type of antifreeze

that is required for your vehicle
