2017 Ford Shelby GT350 Coolant in Braintree, MA

These symptoms can relate to coolant condition or a leak, so they should not be judged by appearance alone. The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running; checking it should be done cold. A service visit can test the system and identify the condition found.

• Temperature gauge running higher than usual
• Sweet smell or a puddle beneath the front of the vehicle
• Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant in the reservoir

The refill uses the coolant type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. Pressure testing helps distinguish routine coolant maintenance from a leak that needs repair. The system should be checked cold because it remains hot and pressurized after operation.

• Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
• Cooling-system pressure test for leaks
• Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water pump area

That schedule should guide replacement rather than appearance alone. Coolant additives can deplete while the fluid still looks and behaves like coolant, so condition can also be tested during a service visit between scheduled points. If the level is dropping or symptoms appear, book an inspection rather than waiting for a scheduled replacement.

• Follow the manufacturer's published maintenance schedule
• Have coolant condition tested during a service visit
• Book an inspection when the level drops or symptoms appear

Coolants are not interchangeable, so choosing by convenience can provide the wrong protection. Color is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle or whether it meets the vehicle's requirements. Herb Chambers Ford of Braintree can perform the refill using the manufacturer-specified type and concentration.

• Use the coolant type specified by the manufacturer
• Do not assume different coolants are interchangeable
• Do not use color alone to identify the correct coolant

Never open a cooling system while it is hot or pressurized; checking it is done cold. A low level may require more than an addition, particularly when the vehicle has a sweet smell or a puddle beneath it. Book an inspection so the system can be pressure tested and its condition assessed.

• Adding coolant does not renew depleted additives
• A repeatedly low level can indicate a leak
• Check the system cold, not immediately after driving
