dexcool is the proper coolant
Drain coolant. Refill with correct water anti freeze mix
Antifreeze is coolant. Coolant goes in the radiator. There is one type that is already mixed with water, and a type that isn't. Either one works, you just have to put half water and half coolant in the non mixed one.
The correct mixture is 50 percent coolant 50 percent water.
a 50/50 mixture of correct antifreeze and water, or the already premixed antifreeze. Use ONLY coolant that is designed for GM cars. Do NOT use the green colored or tinted antifreeze since this will gunk up your system and cause real problems like overheating or thermostat issues. I think the correct tint of the antifreeze should be orange, pink, or clear.
Make sure you are using the correct type of antifreeze. Mixing some environmentally friendly antifreeze with older type "green" can cause gelling. Some antifreeze will gel with age. You may need to flush the entire system and replace with the correct type for your car.
Pour in a 50/50 mix of the correct type antifreeze and distilled water. Your owners manual will list the total capacity and proper coolant to use.
It is usually best to add the correct mix of antifreeze and water (usually 50/50). In a situation where there is no antifreeze available, yes, add water, then check the coolant later to see if the mix is adequate, and adjust the mix if necessary.
it is not reccomended to mix orange coolant with green. it will harm cooling system. only use dex-cool or the correct brand. call dealership to see if universal coolant is ok!!
I would recommend you drain it out, flush the system, and install the correct green coolant that Ford recommends. Using the wrong coolant can damage parts.
50% water, and 50% antifreeze, winter and summer. Depending where you live if you're in a hot climate like arizona. You can do a 30% antifreeze and 70% water. But always make sure you use the correct type of coolant that the manufacturer recommends
