coolant capacity FORD CROWN VICTORIA 1999 2.G Owners Manual

Change your engine coolant according to the appropriate schedule listed
in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
Use Ford Premium Engine Coolant E2FZ-19549±AA (in Oregon,
F5FZ-19549±CC, in Canada, Motorcraft CXC-10) or an equivalent
premium engine coolant that meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44±A.
DO NOT USE Ford Extended Life Engine Coolant
F6AZ-19544±AA, meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44±D
(orange in color). Do not add recycled coolant to your vehicle.
Do not use alcohol or methanol antifreeze or any engine coolants mixed
with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. Do not use supplemental coolant
additives in your vehicle. These additives may harm your engine cooling
system. The use of an improper coolant may void the warranty of your
vehicle's engine cooling system.
Recycled engine coolant
Ford Motor Company recommends that Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealers
use recycled engine coolant produced by Ford-approved processes.
Not all coolant recycling processes produce coolant which meets Ford
specification ESE-M97B44±A, and use of such coolant may harm engine
and cooling system components.
Always dispose of used automotive fluids in a responsible manner.
Follow your community's regulations and standards for recycling and
disposing of automotive fluids.
Coolant refill capacity
To find out how much fluid your vehicle's cooling system can hold, refer
toRefill capacitiesin theCapacities and specificationschapter.
Have your dealer check the engine cooling system for leaks if you have
to add more than 1.0 liter (1.0 quart) of engine coolant per month.
Severe winter climate
If you drive in extremely cold climates (less than ±36ÉC [±34ÉF]), it may
be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%. Refer to
the chart on the coolant container to ensure the coolant concentration in
your vehicle is such that the coolant will not freeze at the temperature
level in which you drive during winter months. Never increase the engine
coolant concentration above 60%. Leave a 50/50 mixture of engine
coolant and water in your vehicle year-round in non-extreme climates.
