6 common questions answered
What are the signs a 2015 Ford Explorer needs a coolant service?Higher-than-usual temperature readings, a sweet smell, a puddle, or rusty, cloudy or low coolant are signs to arrange service.
A cooling system should be checked cold because it is under pressure and hot after running. These signs can reflect depleted coolant, a low level or a leak, and a pressure test helps separate those conditions.
- Temperature gauge running higher than usual
- Sweet smell or a puddle beneath the front of the vehicle
- Coolant that looks rusty, cloudy or low in the reservoir
What is included in a coolant service on a 2015 Ford Explorer?Coolant service includes a drain and refill, a pressure test for leaks, and inspection of the hoses, cap, radiator and water-pump area.
The refill uses the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Testing helps determine whether the coolant needs service or whether a leak requires repair.
- Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
- Cooling-system pressure test
- Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator and water-pump area
How often should the coolant in a 2015 Ford Explorer be changed?The manufacturer's published maintenance schedule settles when coolant service is due for a 2015 Ford Explorer.
Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. That test helps evaluate the additive package and the system's condition without relying only on appearance.
- Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
- Have coolant condition tested at a service visit
- Arrange an inspection if the level drops or the vehicle runs hotter
What kind of coolant does a 2015 Ford Explorer use?The manufacturer specifies the coolant type for this 2015 Ford Explorer, and that specification should guide the refill.
Coolants are not interchangeable, so selecting fluid by color is not a reliable method. Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg can use the manufacturer-specified type and concentration during service.
- Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
- Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
- Do not use color as the guide to what is in the bottle
Can I just top off the coolant in a 2015 Ford Explorer?Topping off restores the coolant level but does not restore the depleted additive package or explain why the level fell.
If the level keeps dropping, treat that as a possible leak rather than normal consumption. Do not open the cooling system while it is hot or under pressure; checking it is done cold. A pressure test can identify whether repair is needed.
- Adding coolant does not renew protective additives
- A repeatedly low level calls for an inspection
- Check the system only when it is cold
