To top up the coolant in your 2013 Ford Escape, start by opening the hood. Find the coolant reservoir on the passenger side close to the windshield. Remove the cap and pour coolant into the fill line. Replace the cap securely once you've finished. The coolant capacity is 6.9 U.S. quarts. It's recommended to change the coolant at 100,000 miles as over time, coolant loses its protective and lubricating functions. Old coolant can lead to radiator corrosion, causing rust that can harm your car's engine. Signs that a radiator flush is needed include coolant leaks under your car and unusual engine sounds.

When adding coolant to my 2013 Ford Escape, make sure to use a funnel because the space is really tight! The design doesn't allow for pouring coolant directly into the reservoir. The reservoir is located underneath the passenger side windshield wipers, towards the back on the far left when you open the hood.

To top off the coolant in a 2013 Ford Escape, make sure you have the right type of coolant on hand. Start by turning off the engine and allowing it to cool down. Then, ensure the car is in either neutral or park and the parking brake is engaged. Pop the hood and locate the engine coolant reservoir, checking the fill-range marking on the side. Carefully loosen and remove the reservoir cap. Add a mix of diluted coolant or a 50/50 blend of concentrated coolant and distilled water up to the cold fill line to raise the coolant level. Securely replace and tighten the cap until you hear a click sound.
