Motorcraft Premium Gold coolant, or equivalent, has long life characteristics and if
the concentration is kept to a maximum of 50% it will provide adequate frost
protection and inhibiting for the life of the engine.
NOTE: If a major component of the cooling system is renewed such as the radiator,
water pump etc., the system should be flushed and re-filled with a 50% solution of
Motorcraft Premium Gold engine coolant, or equivalent, and clean water.
In territories where the ambient temperature is such that no protection against
freezing is required, it is recommended that a 25% concentration of Motorcraft
Premium Gold engine coolant or equivalent, is used. This will protect water pumps,
core plugs, thermostat housings and radiators against corrosion for the life of the
engine and raise boiling point when used at this concentration. See previous Note
on renewing cooling system components.
The antifreeze concentration in a cooling system can be determined by using a
suitable hydrometer.
• A reading of 1080 represents a 50% antifreeze concentration.
• A reading of 1040 represents a 25% antifreeze concentration.
• A reading of 1000 represents plain water.
CAUTION: Do not add or mix an orange-colored extended life coolant, such as
Motorcraft Specialty Orange engine coolant with factory filled coolant WSS-
M97B44-D. Mixing Motorcraft Specialty Orange engine coolant or any orange
colored extended life product, with factory filled coolant, can result in degraded
corrosion protection.
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE CONTAINS MONO ETHYLENE GLYCOL AND OTHER
CONSTITUENTS WHICH ARE TOXIC IF TAKEN INTERNALLY AND CAN BE
ABSORBED IN TOXIC AMOUNTS ON REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN
CONTACT. PERSONS USING ANTIFREEZE ARE RECOMMENDED TO ADHERE
TO THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
• ANTIFREEZE MUST NEVER BE TAKEN INTERNALLY. IF ANTIFREEZE IS
SWALLOWED ACCIDENTALLY, MEDICAL ADVICE SHOULD BE SOUGHT
IMMEDIATELY.
• PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SKIN CONTACT WITH
ANTIFREEZE. IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SPILLAGE ONTO THE SKIN,
ANTIFREEZE SHOULD BE WASHED OFF AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE. IF
CLOTHING IS SPLASHED WITH ANTIFREEZE, IT SHOULD BE REMOVED
AND WASHED BEFORE BEING WORN AGAIN, TO AVOID PROLONGED
SKIN CONTACT.
• FOR REGULAR AND FREQUENT HANDLING OF ANTIFREEZE, PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING (PLASTIC OR RUBBER GLOVES, BOOTS AND IMPERVIOUS
OVERALLS OR APRONS) MUST BE USED TO MINIMIZE SKIN CONTACT.
