2018 Ford F-150
2018 Ford F-150 coolant capacity by engine. This printing specifies Motorcraft Orange prediluted coolant, not the later yellow coolant.
Difficulty, time, and cost are estimates when this guide gives them. Torque is a cited figure, or it is left off.
Main source: 2018 F-150 Owner's Manual, third printing, February 2018, engine coolant capacities (opens in a new tab), Ford Motor Company, published 2018-02-01, read 2026-10-15.
Numbers on this page come from the cited source. Match the engine before you use a capacity or a torque. Do not work under a vehicle held only by a jack.
Motorcraft Orange Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant
Each engine section names this coolant and WSS-M97B44-D2. The U.S. part printed is VC-3DIL-B. The Canada part printed is CVC-3DIL-B.
| Item | Figure | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Coolant specification | Motorcraft Orange Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant, WSS-M97B44-D2. U.S. and Mexico VC-3DIL-B. Canada CVC-3DIL-B. | Materials table under each engine coolant capacity |
| 2.7L EcoBoost | 15.1 qt (14.3 L) | 2.7L EcoBoost capacities |
| 3.0L diesel | 13.7 qt (13 L) | 3.0L diesel capacities |
| 3.3L | 13.6 qt (12.86 L) | 3.3L capacities |
| 3.5L EcoBoost | 15.2 qt (14.35 L) | 3.5L EcoBoost capacities |
| 5.0L | 13.9 qt (13.2 L) | 5.0L capacities |
The capacities chapter has a separate section for the 2.7L EcoBoost, the 3.0L diesel, the 3.3L, the 3.5L EcoBoost, and the 5.0L.
2.7L 15.1 qt (14.3 L). 3.0L diesel 13.7 qt (13 L). 3.3L 13.6 qt (12.86 L). 3.5L EcoBoost 15.2 qt (14.35 L). 5.0L 13.9 qt (13.2 L).
That name and specification appear in the materials block under each of those coolant capacities. The tables do not print a separate tow-package split on these rows.
The materials blocks call the coolant prediluted. They do not print a 50/50 mix ratio to blend at home. A later F-150 owner's manual changes the coolant color and specification, so this Orange fill stays on the 2018 third printing only.
