I wouldn't use Dex Cool in anything!
What he said.
There will be people that tell you it's all new and improved, so what, why would you buy something that was so bad when there are already good alternatives.

NO! Ford makes their own antifreeze part number. There's only one other aftermarket antifreeze (Zerex GO-5) that is approved by Ford to mix with their antifreeze.
Many Ford cars used Dexcool in 1998. I had a 24 valve Mercury Sable that did.
If you are going to use anti freeze use prestone anti freeze in your van I have used it for years you can also use the ford make of anti freeze
It's not approved for your vehicle. Use the right coolant
I wouldn't. Use the Universal antifreeze that mixes with any other type of antifreeze. That is what everyone will be using in the next couple of years because the others will be fading out.
No. Your 2006 Freestar requires yellow-colored engine coolant meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B51-A1 (Motorcraft® Gold Antifreeze/Coolant); see the source. WSS-M97B51-A1 specifies levels of silicates and nitrites, both of which are missing in Dexcool.
As Country Boy notes, the Green Ford coolant before 1999 was chemically similar to Dexcool. Not all Fords take the same coolants.
NO. DO NOT DO IT. GM HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH IT.
- 2002 ford taurus coolant bubbling out of coolant tank cap? Coolant is bubbling out of the tank cap on my taurus. The coolant is a bit over the fill to line. The coolant is the normal green color. I don't think it having a bit of extra coolant in the tank is doing this. The cap itself maybe? I just bought this car and it didn't do this until today.
- I have a 2006 Ford Freestar SEL? 2 weeks ago as I was driving I heard a blast of air then my van wouldnt go. It was still running but wouldnt kick in to gear so i coasted into an approach. I put it in park then reverse n each of the other gears but it wouldnt go. My husband checked the transmission fluid and level and said it was fine. Does this mean I need to replace the whole transmission?
