What type of antifreeze engine coolant should be used in a Windstar?

The type of antifreeze/coolant you should use in a Ford Windstar depends on the year of manufacture. Older Windstars may require traditional green antifreeze (which is typically ethylene glycol-based), while newer models might specify a 50/50 mix of a DEX-COOL compatible coolant.

To be absolutely certain, check your owner's manual. It will specify the correct type and concentration of coolant for your specific Windstar. The manual will also provide important information about proper flushing and filling procedures. Using the incorrect coolant can damage your engine.
