★ Top Answer
The recommended antifreeze for a 2008 Ford Explorer is Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant. It is advised to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles. The air filter should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Spark plugs typically need replacement every 100,000 miles, unless they're copper, in which case they should be replaced every 30,000 miles. It's important to maintain the engine to avoid issues such as loose gaskets, spark plug detachment, oil leaks, and engine overheating. Engine overheating can be a serious problem that may lead to fires and vehicle explosions. Excessive oil consumption may also necessitate more frequent oil changes than expected.

The Ford Explorer from 2008 should use Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant or a similar coolant that meets Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1. To prevent freezing, the coolant concentration should be a mix of equal parts coolant and distilled water, resulting in a freeze point of -34°F (-36°C).
