Usage Notes:
G = Green-colored engine coolant meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A (Motorcraft Premium Antifreeze/Coolant)
GY = Factory-filled with green-colored engine coolant. Service as normal with green-colored engine coolant, or service with yellow-colored engine coolant with
the following important conditions:
I. If the green-colored engine coolant is thoroughly flushed out of the cooling system and then the system is filled with yellow-colored engine coolant, the
service maintenance (change-out) intervals of the yellow-colored engine coolant can be followed.
II. If the green-colored engine coolant is not completely flushed out of the cooling system (e.g., yellow-colored engine coolant is used to top off the system),
then the service maintenance (change-out) intervals of the green-colored engine coolant must be followed.
III. All pre-1999 vehicles, as well as all model years of Mercury Villager, must be serviced with the green-colored engine coolant.
O = Orange-colored engine coolant meeting Ford specification WSS-M97B44-D2 or WSS-M97B44-D (Motorcraft Orange Antifreeze/Coolant Prediluted)
