2007-2015 Ford Edge Coolant Drain & Refill & Thermostat Replacement How-To

[@GeezerGold]

Thank you so much.. this is the most complete and understandable online video. You have talent and patience to teach.

[@donbenson5292]

17:27 Thanks for the video. Need to do that to mine. Always like to see someone else do it so i know what i an getting into, that way I dont cuss the engineers out too much!! Lol At least they put a drain on the radiator better than others you have to take the hose off!! I prefer doing things myself done right.

[@chrisinmontreal]

Was there an issue with the thermostat or should it be changed when, doing a coolant drain and fill?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

No issue I was just doing it as preventative maintenance.

[@wallytverstol8627]

good job. I book marked this one and will tackle it tomorrow

[@jdimeo1966]

Great video. Very detail oriented for the novice DIY'er. Question: Why did you replace the thermostat? Is that part of normal maintenance or did you have an issue? If it was a repair, what were the symptoms? Thanks!

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Thank you. I only replaced it as preventative maintenance just because vehicle was getting quite a few miles on it and it was definitely time to change the coolant so figured might as well change thermostat while it’s drained.

[@johnmackey7721]

If it overfills some will it be a problem? Or will it just go out the overflow?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Just a little bit you'll be fine. You could also just grab a turkey baster from the kitchen and suck some out if you need to.

[@maddog2557]

Wife loves it when I do that. 😂

[@johnmackey7721]

Excellent video thanks!

[@tiggles11]

That coolant was for a gm, ok to use in a ford?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yes it’s for Ford as well. Ford switched to the orange coolant in 2011-2018 ethylene glycol which is the same as GM dexcool.

[@abyssiniahenry128]

FYI, Ford recommends switching to their new Yellow VC13G P-OAT coolant (or VC13DL-G for pre mixed). Replaces the Orange and Specialty Green coolants.

[@donbenson5292]

Is that the same as Dexcool or just Orange extended?​@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE

[@WizardHarry69]

how did yiu drain 5 quarts but fill it with the entire bucket of premix which was 8 quarts?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

I didn’t use the entire bucket of 8 qts it’s kind of hard to tell what was left in there. I dumped it back in to the coolant jug and measured it. I show that at 29:40 in the video.

[@WizardHarry69]

​@@BLUECOLLARGARAGEoh missed that. Thanks! This was a great video and got it done! can't wait to see what else you put out so I can follow along

[@otreborzedalav1]

Thank you.

New to your channel, any videos for doing a coolant flush on a '16 SEL AWD?

[@MegaTapdog]

distilled water still has minerals in it, deionized water is what you want if you want no minerals like you mentioned. I don’t think it makes a difference myself, i’ve always used distilled. too. good video thanks.

[@ClubOfNoReturn]

It's not a gasket it is called an o-ring smh

[@nonstopstarter99]

An O-Ring is a type of gasket. Just splitting hairs.

[@eagle3351]

Why don't you go find some place else to play?

[@eagle3351]

Thanks for the video. I see you switched wrenches on the bottom, putting the thermostat housing back on. Good move. I have to do mine in a couple of days. You just made it a lot easier.
