Use the DEXCOOL- (ORANGE or RED IN COLOR). DO NOT MIX WITH REGULAR YELLOW PRESTONE COOLANT. Or, just have the system completely flushe and refilled with regular coolant. But YES IT DOES MATTER!!!! IF you mix different kinds, you WILL have problems from potential sludging, which can lead to overheated engine, which can lead to BIGGER problems. Cougar is the only Ford/MERC/Lincoln USA product to use this color or kind of Coolant. GM also uses this. FORD of Europe uses it as well. It supposed to offer better cooling capabilities, but to the regular joe, can be confusing and a little more pricey. CODE BLU
it is right across from my thermostat and i have a 2000 mercury cougur it srews in and out.
Means you have an issue with the engine coolant level.
where is the anti theft located on a 2000 mercury cougar
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : No , only the automatic transaxle ( transmission ) has a dipstick
For a 2000 Mercury Cougar : The tank holds ( 15.4 US. gallons )
On a 2000 Mercury Cougar : The brake fluid reservoir is also the clutch fluid reservoir
It is at the bottom front of the coolant reservoir.
Of Course
The 2000 Mercury Cougar OBD 2 port is under driver side dash next to kick panel
