Ford vehicles come from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and the
correct type of antifreeze for the vehicle
Ford states not to exceed 60% antifreeze in the mix ( when you live in a colder climate )
They also state to not drop below 40% antifreeze in order to provide corrosion protection ( although the corrosion inhibitor package in the antifreeze does
" wear out "
* only add the mixture with the engine cold *
You don't. Either add more to up the boiling point or reduce.
Whenever it needs it.
Your engine should be cold ( to be on the safe side) when adding antifreeze/coolant. i let the car sit overnight and then add it.
Yes you can. When the car reaches a certain temperature it will suck it out. As a matter or fact most newer model cars they tell you to add it there.
80% water
It is no longer necessary to add just water to a radiator in newer cars like the 2005 Malibu. An antifreeze that is half water and half antifreeze is usually best. Add the 50/50 antifreeze to the radiator overflow tank. It should be a plastic, see through tank hooked to the radiator.
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.
you open the plastic bottle and pour in the antifreeze
Your coolant is low. Add some antifreeze to the reservoir under your hood.
Don't forget 50/50 solution too What kind of vehicle? What size engine? You don't add antifreeze to the engine, anyway. There should be an overflow jug on post '85 vehicles and on pre '85 vehicles you add the antifreeze to the radiator only. Please check your owner's manual or ask your car dealer for further information.
You can add it to the coolant reservoir. It's located in the top left corner of your engine. Make sure your car is cool before you add in the antifreeze.
Be sure that you have adequate antifreeze in your car, the temperature has been dropping sharply.
