2 gallons of coolant is not that much money . Just go down to Walley World and purchase " Ford " coolant .
Best of luck to you ,
Whoa-be careful-there's a lot of different Ford coolants! Put Premium Gold/G-05 in with that Specialty Orange & bad things are going to happen! I use Orange in the Transit, Gold in the 4.6 MGM, and SCA fortified low silicate green in the old 7.3 F-450, all Fords are definitely not the same! Not to mention the dark green FL22 PHOAT Ford/Mazda coolant (which has more in common with Honda/Toyota/Nissan than any other coolant Ford uses).
