SCHEDULE NOWFrequently asked questionsFrequently Asked Questions
6 common questions answered
What are the signs a 2018 Ford Fusion needs a coolant service?Common 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 reflect depleted coolant protection or a leak in the cooling system. The system should be checked cold because it is under pressure and hot after running. A pressure test helps determine whether the vehicle needs service, a repair, or both.
- Temperature gauge running higher than usual
- Sweet smell or puddle beneath the front of the vehicle
- Low, rusty or cloudy-looking coolant in the reservoir
What is included in a coolant service on a 2018 Ford Fusion?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 fluid-level check may miss. The inspection helps separate routine coolant maintenance from a cooling-system 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 Fusion be changed?The manufacturer's published maintenance schedule for this vehicle settles when coolant service is due, and its condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points.
Maintenance timing should follow the schedule for the 2018 Ford Fusion rather than appearance alone. Coolant additives can deplete while the fluid still looks and behaves like coolant. A service visit can test the condition and help determine whether the vehicle is due for scheduled replacement or needs further inspection.
- Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule
- Request a coolant-condition check between scheduled points
- Use pressure testing when a leak is suspected
What kind of coolant does a 2018 Ford Fusion use?The 2018 Ford Fusion uses the coolant type specified by its manufacturer, and the correct choice should be confirmed for this vehicle.
Coolants are not interchangeable, so selecting fluid by general appearance is not sufficient. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle or what belongs in the system. During service, the refill should use the manufacturer-specified type and concentration for this vehicle.
- Use the manufacturer's specified coolant type
- Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
- Do not use colour alone to identify coolant
Can I just top off the coolant in a 2018 Ford Fusion?Topping off restores the coolant level but does not restore the additive package, and a level that keeps dropping indicates a leak that needs inspection.
Adding fluid may temporarily bring the reservoir to the proper level, but it does not replace depleted corrosion protection. Never open a cooling system while it is hot or under pressure; checking it is done cold. If the level falls again, book an inspection rather than continuing to top it off.
- Top-off service does not renew depleted additives
- A repeatedly low level can indicate a leak
- Check the system only when it is cold
