Coolant Mixture

Service refill recommendations are 50/50 mix of water and coolant such as Premium Cooling System Fluid E2FZ-19549-AA or B (in Canada, Motorcraft CXC-8-B) or equivalent meeting Ford specifications ESE-M97B44-A and ESE-M97B43-A.

All figures shown are actual but may vary ± 15 percent due to system variations.

Most service refills will only take 80 percent of capacity listed because some coolant does not drain.

STD—no air conditioning (standard cooling)

A/C—air conditioning
