Coolant level exactly at minimum - only driven 2,200 miles

[Fordified1]

Minimum level is absolutely fine when coolant is cold. The radiator is full. That’s the expansion tank.

Yeah. I have this conversation at work when we are looking for values in a range. People want to adjust if we are near either end. I ask them what the range means. Kinda self explanatory once they say it out loud.

Funny you say this. We had a fire marshal ding us at work because our fire extinguishers were low in the green band. He wanted the needles on the pressure gauge to be exactly in the middle...

Hey all,

was randomly checking under the hood on my brand new Wild track and noticed coolant levels are exactly at minimum. No signs of leaks and the transmission temps are below 190 degrees when driving. Should I be worried? Do I top it off or leave it be? I only put 2,200 miles on it so far

Mine was like that as well. I think they just fill the bare minimum at the factory and expect the dealers to top it off to save costs. Mine wasn't leaking, just low from Ford.

Yeah absolutely no leaks detected. Had it for 2 months with 0 issues but I just so happened to notice the coolant levels today

@Ducati1098 out of curiosity. What’s the difference between ford motorcraft prediluted and concentrated coolant? And which one does the Bronco take?I just had the dealership top off my coolant and they said everything looks normal with no signs of leaks but I was just curious because I’d like to buy a gallon and store it just in case

I'm not Ducati, but... the difference is pre-diluted is ... pre-diluted, ready to add.

Concentrated requires mixing with water to a 50/50 mix.

Usually the price is the same, but you get twice as much coolant when you buy Concentrated and just mix it yourself.

So did ya check it at brandy new to you? If not i wud guess it was from factory …if you have no leaks, might wanta check ur oil, and take a wifg at the exhaust when its running

Ford saves $0.02 per vehicle that way. That adds up to dollars! And the savings is passed on to YOU!

You're probably dead on for the first part. Both my 22 Wildtrak and my 23 Lincoln Aviator were filled to the low point. Both of them I had fluid added prior to accepting delivery #stickittotheman
