00 PSD Cooling System.


How often should the additive be used in the engine cooling system and how often do any of you change out the antifreeze completely?
Thanks for any advice.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 08-Apr-02 AT 09:59 PM (EST)]Ford says to change the antifreeze the first time at 45k then every 30k thereafter. You should check the FW-16 additive about every 10,000 miles in my opinion with the test strips and add as required. When you completey flush the system, get 4 gallons of LOW SILICATE antifreeze that meets the Ford specs in your manual, 4 gallons distilled water and 4 pints of the FW-16 additive. DIS has the best prices on additive and the test strips.
