I would double check the container of antifreeze and look for that its meets Ford spec's, which is ESE-M97B44-A @ 50/50 mix. (got mine from Napa.. ) and like Chris says, add the SCA additive.. My manual says to add 4 pints if changing out the coolant..(maybe just 3 pints to start with). After running for awhile, check the SCA level with test strips.. Too much is not good, too little is not good.. or... change to the gold or red extended coolants.. no need for the SCA additive..
