To add coolant to Your 2013 Ford Escape first open Your hood. Then locate the coolant reservoir on the passenger side near the windshield. Add coolant by unscrewing the cap and pouring it into the fill line. Replace the cap and make sure that it is secure after You finish refilling it. The coolant capacity iS6.9 U.S. Qt. The coolant should first be changed at 100,000 miles. Over time, engine coolant loses its anticorrosive properties and lubricating ability. Your radiator coolant can cause radiator corrosion, generating rust that You do not want in Your car's radiator or engine. Signs that an immediate radiator flush is necessary include coolant leaking underneath Your car and hearing a grinding engine noise.

To add coolant to a ford escape simply unscrew the cap slowly. Any pressure will escape as you unscrew the cap. Add prediluted engine coolant meeting the ford specification.

I have a 2013 Ford Escape, when attempting to add coolant, you MUST utilize a funnel, as space is cramped / tight! By its design, you can NOT freely pour coolant into reservoir! Reservoir is tucked underneath / in front of passengerside windshield wipers, on far left back, as you open the hood.

When adding coolant to the 2013 ford escape, first, have the correct engine coolant. Ensure that the engine is off and cold, the car is in neutral or park, and the parking brake is on. Find the engine coolant reservoir and its side fill-range marking after opening the hood. Loosen the reservoir cap slowly, then remove it. To raise the coolant level, add diluted coolant or a 50/50 mixture of concentrated coolant and distilled water up to the cold fill marking. Replace the cap, tightening it to a click.
