Best Answer

The 6.0L uses the Ford Gold coolant. If your just draining the radiator you will need 2 gallons of the gold coolant then top off with an additional 2 gal of water until full. No additional additives are needed. The gold coolant already has FW-16 in it, unlike Ford green coolant which is used in the 7.3L and FW-16 needs to be added to the green coolant when servicing all 7.3L powerstroke cooling system. Hope this helps.

Do NOT use Diesel fuel in a Ford Focus. The engine will stop running and you will have to drain the gas tank to rid the car of the diesel fuel. Gasoline engines are not designed to run on diesel.
