    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know the specific Anit-Freeze\Engine coolant that Ford use for the Focus...and probably most of the other lines (red/pinkish)? My coolant is slightly low on the car and Id prefer to top it up without the added expense of getting Ford to do it themselves and charge me labour.
    Can you buy the coolant form Ford garages?

    Motorcraft orange coolant https://owner.ford.com/support/how-tos/vehicle-care/how-to-add-engine-coolant.html
    Ford Motor Company has used four different types of coolant since 2002. Here are the colors as well as the relevant models:

    Light Green: Used in all models up to 1999 and some models from 2000 through 2003
    Yellow: Used in all models from 2004 through 2008 and some models from 2002 through 2013

    Dark Green: Used in some models from 2009 through 2012

    Orange: Used in some models from 2010 through 2013

    For the 2013 models, only the E-Series Econoline vans and some motorhome chassis use the yellow coolant. All other vehicles use orange coolant.

    Of course, always check your owner’s manual for the most specific information about your vehicle’s coolant needs.

    Hi Biko,
    Would you believe had that link open but never read the note below....my bad. I assume you can just buy that from Ford garage?

    Cheers again.

    Yeah, ring Ford and enquire.
    Also, check your owner's manual or service book. The same info should be there too.

    That link refers to US models not EU models, the engines and coolant chemistry are different from NA to EU.
    OP you didn't specify the engine in yours petrol/diesel? 1.0,1.4,1.5,1.6,2.0?
