CAUTION: If the coolant concentration is
insufficient, low temperature protection
and corrosion resistance will be impaired.
NOTE: Providing the coolant has not been
contaminated with other fluids or foreign material,
the robust corrosion resistance properties of this
coolant means that it can be reused after changing
an aluminum cooling system component. The
concentration should always be checked and
maintained within the specification.

303-03C-4
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Coolant concentration should be checked through
the neck of the coolant expansion tank with a
hydrometer. The acceptable range of specific
gravity (sg) must be maintained.
The coolant used is an orange colored Motorcraft
Super Plus 2000 engine coolant. This is a non
silicated organic acid technology (OAT) coolant
that must not be mixed with other coolant types.
For cooling system top up, only use coolant which
meets the correct specification.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Evacuating and Filling
1.
If the cooling system was completely drained,
fill the fluid container with the full cooling
system fill capacity plus 0.5L of additional
coolant.
If the cooling system was partially drained,
fill the fluid container with the removed and
spilled amount of coolant plus 1.0L of
additional coolant. When in doubt always use
the full cooling system fill capacity plus 0.5L
of additional coolant.
2. Remove the coolant expansion tank cap.
