Hello, could anyone describe how to change the motor coolant on the 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid? I cannot find any specific steps in the manuals I have purchased about how to perform this procedure. Thank you for any help.

 

I had a hose blow and it changed itself for me. But ideally you drain the coolant from the drain in the radiator. You just have to remove the plastic covers below the car. If you can warm the car enough to open the thermostat and then dump it, you will get it all. Just don't burn yourself as it will be very hot.

Otherwise you would have to drain a couple of times and run the car so that it circulates. Nothing special about the hybrid in this regard as the coolant for the HV system is separate. If it's all out, fill to the line with the reservoir cap off and add more as the air comes out and the car warms up.

 

Thank you. That's far more straight forward than I thought it would be.
