The 1998 Ford Ranger Owner Guide shows Ford Extended Life Engine Coolant ( Dexcool )
what type of radiator fluid does a 2000 ford ranger take?
The coolant capacity of the Ford Ranger is dependent on model year and engine type. The latest model year of the Ford Ranger was 2011. The 2011 Ranger with the 4. 0L V6 and the automatic transmission had a coolant service fill of 13. 2 quarts.
It uses regular green coolent
You drain coolant from the radiator. but according to the book ther are two plugs on the engine block that need to drain the coolant from.
The 2003 Ford Ranger Owner Guide only shows ( 1 ) type of engine coolant ( YELLOW color , meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 ) * but it also shows to use the type of engine coolant your vehicle was originally equipped with
dex - cool orange coolant ,any coolant flush
That depends on whether the radiator is emty. If it is you will need approx. 2 gallons of 50/50 mix of water and coolant. Anytime you need to add fluid check for a leak.
The Owner Guide shows Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant ( yellow-colored ) Ford specification ( WSS-M97B51-A1 ) But also shows to add the coolant that was originally in your vehicle
A KX85 just needs regular green premixed engine coolant. To replace the coolant in the engine system, simply drain the current coolant and refill. There is no need to flush the system before replacing.
