Filling and Bleeding with RADIATOR REFILLER

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with an optional rear heater, RADIATOR REFILLER must be used whenever the underbody coolant lines and/or rear heater core are drained or removed.
    NOTE: Early build vehicle (built before January 19, 2009) cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft® Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Late build vehicle (built on or after January 19, 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.
