A 1997 Lincoln Town Car typically calls for a
50/50 mix of ethylene glycol-based coolant and distilled water. However,
always check your owner's manual for the specific recommendation from Ford. The manual will specify the type of coolant (e.g., "Ford Gold," or a specific specification like "Motorcraft Premium Gold") and the proper mixing ratio.
Using the wrong type of coolant can damage your engine, so consulting your owner's manual is crucial.
