Filling and Bleeding with RADIATOR REFILLER

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Early build vehicle (built before July 6, 2009) cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Late build vehicle (built on or after July 6, 2009) cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Specialty Green Engine Coolant. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of the coolant. Do not mix coolant types. Failure to follow these instructions may result in engine or cooling system damage.
  1. Install the RADIATOR REFILLER and follow the manufacturer's instructions to fill and bleed the cooling system.
    • Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 ethylene glycol to distilled water.
    • Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas.
    • Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60 for warm weather areas.
