REMOVAL
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
2. WARNING: Never remove the pressure radiator relief cap while the engine is hot. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
damage to the cooling system or engine or result in personal injury. To avoid having scalding hot coolant or steam blow out of the degas
bottle when removing the pressure relief cap, wait until the engine has cooled, then wrap a thick cloth around the pressure relief cap and
turn it slowly. Step back while the pressure is released from the cooling system. When certain all the pressure has been released, (still with
a cloth) turn and remove the pressure relief cap. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
-
The coolant must be recovered in a suitable, clean container for reuse. If the coolant is contaminated, it must be recycled or disposed
of correctly and system filled with new coolant.
-
Always fill the cooling system with the same type of coolant that was drained from the system. Do not mix coolant types.
-
Engine coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion protection to the engine and cooling
components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine coolant must be maintained at the correct concentration and fluid level in
the degas bottle.
When adding engine coolant, use a 50/50 mixture of engine coolant and distilled water.
To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system:
-
Add Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant VC-7-A (in Oregon VC-7-B) or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSS-M97B51-A1 (yellow color). Always fill the cooling system with the same type of coolant that was drained from the system. Do
not mix coolant types.
-
Do not add orange-colored Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant VC-2, or equivalent meeting WSS-M97B44-D. Mixing
coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion protection.
-
Do not add alcohol, methanol, brine, or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. These can cause engine
damage from overheating or freezing.
Disconnect the engine vent and radiator vent
3. Remove the bolts and position the degas bottle aside.
