In 2012, the Ford F-150 will be equipped with Prestone 1 Gallon Yellow 50/50 Coolant/Antifreeze, which is essential for maintaining engine temperature. Antifreeze plays a crucial role in preventing engine overheating by raising the boiling point of the coolant. It also safeguards the engine from corrosion, aids in heat transfer, and prevents the accumulation of scales, making it a crucial component for engine health. Typically, the exhaust and cooling system work together to keep the engine cool by absorbing heat and preventing water from boiling in hot weather. Regular coolant changes every 30,000 miles are recommended by most car manufacturers to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
The suggested coolant for a 2012 Ford F-150 is universal dex-cool.
