In a 2016 Ford Focus SE, the recommended coolant type is Prestone Concentrate Antifreeze and Coolant. To perform a coolant change on the car, start by locating the radiator under the hood, which is positioned in front of the engine compartment and houses a clear or black plastic reservoir attached to it. This reservoir contains a drain plug, a fill plug, and a dipstick for measuring the coolant level. If you only need to top up the coolant, check the level using the dipstick and add more as needed. However, for a complete flush, open the drain plug and allow the coolant to flow out into a bucket. You can aid the process by pouring water into the reservoir. Once the water runs out mostly clean, close the drain plug, refill the reservoir up to the level indicated by the dipstick, and replace the cap securely.
The suggested coolant for the 2016 Ford Focus SE is the Dex-Cool antifreeze and coolant.
