Cooling system capacity
Refer to the Owners Manual for specific information to the model year.
Generally speaking, expect it to be in the 10-12 quarts range. That's a total of 50/50 mix of coolant + water.
Answer
The best way for me to answer that is if you open the hood and look at the coolant reservoir, the color of the top of the cap is usually what you put in it.
- For example, green on cap indicates conventional, green.
- Red or Orange on cap, dexcool,
- Gold, or yellow is Ford and Chrysler.
So the best thing to do is look at your cap. If for some reason you have an after market cap on your reservoir, then put Prestone muliti / universal coolant. It is made to mix with all types of coolant. I Flushed my radiator and just used that to refill the whole system.
2002 - The green stuff. Ford specifically says not to use extended life coolants for this year Taurus.
Any anti-freeze is good. But personally I use in my Taurus (1996 Ford Taurus GL) Prestone. The best kind is the 50/50 already pre-mixed.
