anti-freeze for 2001
new to the group & was hoping someone could help with a question. just
bought a 2001 explorer sport & noticed in the owners manual it said to only use one type of anti-freeze, by ford of course, but, it also had other ford types but said not to use those. pretty confusing.....what would happen if a different type was put in? thanks for any help. |

anti-freeze for 2001
I(f your car came with the "gold" antifreeze, you should add only gold
antifreeze to maintain the added protection... after this many years, if the cooling system hasn't been service properly, it wont matter, anyhow. If you add green antifreeze to gold coolant, treat it as if it were all green antifreeze. If you add red antifreeze to either green or gold coolant, flush the system thoroughly and fill with your choice (preferably not red). Once again, if the cooling system hasn't been serviced, it is long overdue and the decision for which colour to add is moot.
