I was looking at the 1999 Lincoln Town Car Owner Guide and it shows : Ford Premium Engine Coolant ( green in color ) Ford specification ( ESE - M97B44 - A ) ( I use the Recochem green colored universal antifreeze because it meets the above Ford specification in my Ford Explorer )

For a 2003 Ford F-150, it's recommended to use a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and distilled water. Ford typically suggests using their Motorcraft Premium Engine Coolant, which is a non-silicate, phosphate-free formula designed for Ford vehicles. Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and ensure the antifreeze meets the appropriate specifications for your truck.
