I guess that was the furthest thing on my mind whenever I was working on my car performing modifications. I don't think that our radiators are aluminum, but I'm not even sure about that, since I haven't even noticed. What confuses me is that I thought that all coolant is Propylene Glycol based. ![]() #2.Another thing is, that I remember reading somewhere on a coolant bottle that if your radiator is aluminum, that you must use a Propylene Glycol based coolant. And I highly doubt that they take it from the water cooler. I remember reading on a coolany container that it said "distilled water" just as you've mentioned, but the first thing that comes to my mind when I read that is.can we really believe that when the dealer changes the coolant, they use purchased water, rather than tap water? Perhaps I'm over looking something simple here, but I just cannot picture any dealer having water delivered for no other reason than to use in radiators. I'm not trying to take this discussion off-topic, but I have two things to bring up that come to mind that are kind of related: I know that sounds like a stretch, but I don't know why he asked me that, and I had so many things on my mind that day(especially an upcoming gear change) that I didn't bother to ask. So I wonder if using the yeallow coolant also has something to do w/the type of metal that the radiator was made out of. And then when I said "Yes, I have a 2003 Mercury Marauder" he then said, "Okay" and proceeded to ring it up.īut I really don't understand why it mattered if I had a Ford product that came out that year only. But if you don't get any definate answers here, then maybe you should call the service deprtment at your dealer to ask them.īut now that I think of it, last year I bought coolant for my car (I had to change the thermostat) at a parts store, and when I picked up a gallon of the yellow coolant and placed in on top of the checkout counter, before the guy would ring it up, he asked "Do you have a 2003 Ford car?". ![]() ![]() HMMMMM, I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but for what it's worth, my Marauder came w/the yellow long-life coolant (03 300A, build date 10/02).
