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 *

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.

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.
