Supercharger Cooling System Draining, Filling and Bleeding










Filling and Bleeding without RADIATOR REFILLER

NOTICE: Coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion protection to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine coolant must be maintained at the correct concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.

NOTICE: The Supercharger (SC) cooling system is filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant.

NOTE: When adding coolant, use a 50/50 mixture of coolant and clean, drinkable water.

1. To maintain the integrity of the coolant and the cooling system:

1. Add Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 (yellow color). Use the same coolant that was drained from the cooling system. Do not mix coolant types.

2. Do not add/mix orange-colored Motorcraft Speciality Orange Engine Coolant or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion protection.

3. Do not add alcohol, methanol, brine or any coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol antifreeze. These can cause damage from overheating or freezing.

4. Do not mix with recycled coolant. Use of such coolants can harm the cooling system components.

2. Fill the degas bottle.

3. Start the engine and allow to run until coolant circulation is observed in the degas bottle. Absence of circulation indicates air is trapped in the system.
- Turn the engine off.

4. Add coolant as needed.

5. Repeat the above procedure to make sure all entrapped air is released.
