For your 2009 Ford Escape, it is recommended to use Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant with a bittering agent in yellow color. The 2.5L engine can hold up to 7.4 US quarts of coolant, while the 3.0L engine can hold up to 9.5 US quarts. Other suitable options include Peak 1 Gallon Yellow 50/50 Coolant/Antifreeze and Prestone 1 Gallon Yellow 50/50 Coolant/Antifreeze. The coolant or antifreeze serves to prevent engine overheating and freezing, as well as lubricate metal components for their longevity.
The type of antifreeze recommended for your car will vary based on where you live. Ford typically uses a 50/50 mix of yellow antifreeze that is effective in temperatures as low as -37 degrees Fahrenheit.
