The Ford Fusion uses engine coolant to regulate the temperature of the engine and prevent it from overheating. Engine coolant is a mixture of antifreeze and water that circulates through the engine and radiator. It helps to dissipate heat and protect the engine from freezing in cold temperatures.
To ensure the proper functioning of your Ford Fusion, it is important to use the recommended coolant. While I couldn’t find the specific type of coolant recommended for the Ford Fusion in the search results, it is generally recommended to use a coolant that meets the specifications outlined in the vehicle’s owner’s manual. The owner’s manual will provide the specific coolant type and any additional instructions for coolant maintenance.
If you are unsure about the type of coolant to use or have any other questions related to your Ford Fusion’s coolant system, I recommend consulting the vehicle’s owner’s manual or contacting a Ford dealership or authorized service center for accurate and up-to-date information.
