Thanks CJ! Now how about a recommendation for a coolant filter. I didn't know they made them. Does Ford have them?

Agreed, get 3 spare filters shipped with shut off valves approx. $165.00. Good investment.

be careful of installing a coolant filter under warranty sometimes they try and void warranties for this... I don't agree with their position but never the less be careful!

Most dealers think it's a good idea. There have been a couple that can't seem to think past their nose.
