Why Does My Ford Need a Coolant Fluid Exchange?

To answer this question, we’ll first take a look at what coolant does. The combustion that happens in internal combustion engines is incredibly hot, so hot that the heat can melt and warp the metal of the engine. To keep this from happening, your engine has a cooling system, and coolant fluid is at the heart of this system. It’s a fluid made of a precise mixture of water and antifreeze, and it absorbs much of the excess heat from the engine. As it does so, it moves along tubes to the radiator, where it’s cooled down by greater surface area and the movement of air. After it gets cooler, it’s circulated back through the engine to pick up more heat. However, coolant will begin to break down eventually, becoming less effective at absorbing heat. Since this can cause your engine to suffer damage from overheating, you’ll need to have the coolant fluid replaced regularly.

How Often Should I Have My Coolant Fluid Changed?

The exact timing varies based on a number of factors. Your Ford owner’s manual should have a service maintenance schedule that lets you know how often the coolant needs to be changed. You should stick to this in order to keep your engine out of trouble.
