SCHEDULE NOWFrequently asked questionsFrequently Asked Questions
6 common questions answered
What are the signs a 2018 Ford F-150 needs a coolant service?Signs include a higher-than-usual temperature gauge, a sweet smell, a puddle under the front, or coolant that looks rusty, cloudy, or low.
These symptoms can indicate depleted coolant protection or a leak. Do not open the cooling system while it is hot or pressurized; checking it should be done cold. A service inspection can identify the condition found and help separate maintenance from repair.
- Temperature gauge running higher than usual
- Sweet smell or a puddle beneath the front
- Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir
What is included in a coolant service on a 2018 Ford F-150?The service drains and refills the coolant, pressure tests the system, and inspects the hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area.
The refill uses the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps identify leaks that a level check may not reveal. The inspection also helps determine whether the vehicle needs routine coolant service or further repair.
- Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
- Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
- Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area
How often should the coolant in a 2018 Ford F-150 be changed?The manufacturer publishes a maintenance schedule for the 2018 Ford F-150, and that schedule settles when coolant service is due.
Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. The vehicle’s maintenance schedule calls for cooling-system inspection every 10,000 miles and coolant flush or replacement every 100,000 miles. The condition found during inspection can identify a leak or another concern that needs attention.
- Follow the manufacturer’s published schedule
- Have coolant condition tested during service
- Investigate repeated level loss as a possible leak
What kind of coolant does a 2018 Ford F-150 use?The 2018 Ford F-150 uses the coolant type specified by its manufacturer for this vehicle.
Coolants are not interchangeable, so the correct product should be confirmed before service. Color is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle and should not be used to select coolant. Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa can service the system according to the vehicle’s manufacturer requirements.
- Use the manufacturer-specified coolant type
- Do not treat different coolants as automatically interchangeable
- Do not use color alone to identify coolant
Can I just top off the coolant in a 2018 Ford F-150?Topping off restores the coolant level but does not restore the depleted additive package or explain why the level dropped.
If the level keeps falling, the vehicle may have a leak rather than normal coolant consumption. The cooling system is hot and under pressure after running, so checking it should be done cold. Book an inspection to test the system and identify its condition.
- Adding fluid does not renew coolant additives
- A repeatedly falling level points to a possible leak
- Check the system only when it is cold
