In the 2000 Lincoln LS, it is recommended to use Ford Premium Engine Coolant or any premium coolant that meets Ford specification ESE-M97B44“A. It's important to maintain a coolant concentration mixture of about 50%, with a range between 40% and 60%. The coolant capacity depends on the engine size, with the 3.0 L V6 engine holding 11.2 quarts and the 3.9 L V8 holding 11.9 quarts. If you find yourself needing to add more than a quart of coolant per month, it's advisable to have your vehicle inspected for leaks. The LS comes with fail-safe cooling feature, which engages when the coolant level is low and the engine temperature rises to a certain point. In fail-safe mode, the engine shuts down certain cylinders and uses them as an air pump to cool the engine.
Prestone's 1-gallon yellow coolant/antifreeze mixture is compatible with the 2005 Lincoln LS model.
