2016 Ford Fusion Coolant in Brownsburg, IN

These signs can indicate depleted coolant or a leak in the cooling system. Do not open the system when it is hot or under pressure; checking it should be done cold. A service visit can test the system and identify whether maintenance or repair is needed.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle under the front of the vehicle
• Rusty, cloudy, or low-looking coolant

The replacement coolant is the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps distinguish a routine service from a leak that needs repair. The inspection reviews the parts that contain, circulate, and regulate coolant.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area

That schedule calls for cooling-system inspection every 10,000 miles and coolant flush or replacement every 100,000 miles. Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between those points. Testing helps determine whether the vehicle needs scheduled maintenance or attention for a leak.

• Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
• Have the cooling system inspected at scheduled points
• Request condition testing between those points when appropriate

Coolants are not interchangeable, so selecting fluid by convenience can provide the wrong protection. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg can service the system using the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for the 2016 Ford Fusion.

• Use the manufacturer's specified coolant type
• Do not treat different coolants as interchangeable
• Do not identify coolant by colour alone

A level that keeps dropping points to a leak rather than normal consumption and should be inspected. The cooling system is hot and under pressure after running, so checking it should be done cold. A pressure test can help identify the source before further maintenance is selected.

• Top-off service does not renew coolant additives
• A repeatedly low level warrants a leak inspection
• Check the system only when it is cold
