In the 2013 Ford Explorer, it is recommended to use orange extended long life coolant that is 50/50 Pre-Diluted. The initial fill capacity is 11.6 quarts. Coolant circulates through the engine and radiator to regulate temperatures and prevent overheating or freezing. It is advised to replace the coolant every 30,000 miles or every two years, whichever occurs first. Signs of low coolant include erratic temperature gauge readings, warning lights, or overheating. The cost of a coolant change at a mechanic for the Explorer typically ranges from $120 to $150 in labor fees.
The 2013 Ford Explorer requires Prestone 1 gallon yellow coolant/antifreeze in a 50/50 mix.
The color of the coolant is orange.
