The 2008 Ford Escape uses a mixture of 50% ethylene glycol and 50% water as a coolant. This mixture provides the optimum protection against freezing and boiling for the Escape's engine. It is important to use the correct coolant mixture to avoid any damage to the engine.
You can purchase a premixed coolant solution from your local auto parts store or you can mix your own solution. To mix your own solution, you will need to mix equal parts of ethylene glycol and water. When mixing your own coolant solution, be sure to use distilled water to prevent any impurities from entering the coolant system.
It is also important to change the coolant in your Ford Escape according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The coolant should be changed every 2 years or every 30,000 miles, whichever comes first.
