78. NOTICE:
Using the AirLift Cooling Tester UVU-550000 (formerly Radkit Plus), add 5.8 qts (5.5 L) for base models and 6.3 qts (6.0 L) for trailer tow
models (vehicles equipped with an oil cooler) of 100% pure concentrated coolant. Use concentrated coolant, Motorcraft(R) Specialty Green
Engine Coolant VC-10-A2 (US) or CVC-10-A (Canada) to the cooling system. Continue with the purge of air from the system until the coolant
reaches 1 inch (25 mm) above the COLD FILL LEVEL.
The recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 or -34° F (-36° C) using Motorcraft(R) Specialty Green Engine Coolant VC-10-A2 (US) or
CVC-10-A (Canada) to distilled water, as measured with a hydrometer or equivalent.
^
Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40, -60° F (-51° C) for cold weather areas.
^
Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60, -20° F (-29° C) for warm weather areas.
79. Turn the heater to OFF.

(NEW!) 80. Start the engine and increase the engine speed to rpm and hold for 30 seconds.
81. Turn the engine OFF and wait for 1 minute to purge any large air pockets from the cooling system.
82. NOTE: Add concentrated coolant, Motorcraft(R) Specialty Green Engine Coolant VC-10-A2 (US) or CVC-10-A (Canada) to 1 inch (25 mm)
above the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL of the degas bottle.
Check the engine coolant level in the degas bottle and if necessary, fill to 1 inch (25 mm) above the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL when warm or
to the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL when cold using concentrated coolant, Motorcraft(R) Specialty Green Engine Coolant VC-10-A2 (US) OR
CVC-10-A (Canada).
83. Start the engine and let idle until the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the thermostat is fully open. A fully open thermostat can be
verified by the radiator cooling fan cycling on at least once.
84. With the engine ON, thermostat open and the cooling fans cycled at least once, increase the engine speed to 3,500 rpm and hold for 30 seconds.
Then allow the engine to idle for 30 seconds.
85. Turn the engine OFF and wait for 1 minute.
86. Repeat Steps 84 and 85 a total of 5 TIMES to remove any remaining air trapped in the system.
87. NOTE: Add concentrated coolant, Motorcraft(R) Specialty Green Engine Coolant VC-10-A2 (US) or CVC-10-A (Canada) to 1 inch (25 mm)
above the top of the COLD FILL RANGE of the degas bottle.
Check the engine coolant level in the degas bottle, and if necessary, fill to 1 inch (25 mm) above the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL with the engine
warm or to the top of the COLD FILL LEVEL with the engine cold using concentrated coolant, Motorcraft(R) Specialty Green Engine Coolant
VC-10-A2 (US) or CVC-10-A (Canada).
88. Make sure the degas bottle cap is installed to at least one audible "click."
89. Overlay the new cooling system label onto the degas bottle cap that has been provided by service management.
90. Using the IDS, clear any codes that may have been set during the flush procedure.
91. Service management will provide the Customer Information Sheet to the customer for insertion into vehicle's Owner Guide. This Customer
Information Sheet will remind the customer that a revised type of coolant has been installed in their vehicle and will need to be used from this point
forward.
