What kind of coolant should I use for my 2001 Ford F150?

Question

Accepted Answer

Your 2001 Ford F-150 requires yellow concentrate coolant/antifreeze. It's recommended to change the coolant every 100,000 miles or after ten years. As time passes, the coolant loses its ability to prevent corrosion and provide lubrication. Old radiator coolant can lead to corrosion, creating rust that can harm your car's radiator and engine. Signs that indicate an urgent need for a radiator flush include coolant leaks beneath your car and unusual engine noises. Other indicators of a malfunctioning cooling system include the smell of antifreeze or frequent overheating. Although some people prefer using water in their radiators instead of coolant, it's not advisable. While water helps to maintain engine temperature, it's not as effective as coolant in protecting your vehicle.
