Question Coolant ?????

Which coolant do i want to add to my 2004 6.oL, It was at the dealer for some repair and this morning i had little to no heat, the coolant was low. so i want to fill it and watch it for a few days and see what happens, nothing under it on the snow so it was either left low at the dealer ship or the motor was thirsty.

Check your Owner's Manual, I'm pretty sure it takes Gold coolant.

Most any parts store should have the gold coolant. Ford has been using it in most of their vehicles for several years.

great thanks. Hopefully it was left low and the motor is not eating it, still under 100K miles but hate to loose it during plowing season.

Zerex G-05 and Peak Global Lifetime will work in place of the Ford Gold coolant.

Just make sure what ever you buy lists that it meets the following specification...
