★ Top Answer
The Ford F-150 uses orange Dexcool antifreeze, with Motorcraft premium being the recommended brand by the manufacturer. It should be mixed at a 50/50 ratio for optimal protection against corrosion, freezing, and overheating. If the antifreeze appears rusty, it means the rust inhibitor has worn out and the coolant needs to be replaced. Generally, the coolant should be changed every 30,000 miles for the truck. Some manufacturer services may recommend keeping the coolant for the first time until 60,000 miles, and then changing it every 30,000 miles after that. The cost to have the coolant replaced at a service shop can range from $100 to $150, depending on the shop.

The coolant in engines should be either green (containing ethylene glycol) or orange (containing dexcool) for safety. A rusty color indicates that the rust inhibitor in the coolant has deteriorated, losing its ability to prevent rust and scale accumulation.
