What kind of coolant does a Taurus use?
What kind of coolant does a Taurus use?
Instead of a typical coolant reservoir, the Taurus uses a pressurized expansion tank that is designed to remove excess air from the system when the engine reaches operating temperatures. These systems do not utilize a standard radiator cap, instead being pressurized by the expansion tank cap. Raise the hood of your Taurus.
What causes a Ford Taurus to overheat?
The cooling system of your Ford Taurus is designed to operate as a sealed system, devoid of excess air. When air becomes trapped in the cooling system it can cause overheating issues.
Why does the Taurus have a pressurized expansion tank?
When air becomes trapped in the cooling system it can cause overheating issues. Instead of a typical coolant reservoir, the Taurus uses a pressurized expansion tank that is designed to remove excess air from the system when the engine reaches operating temperatures.

What happens if you forget to bleed the cooling system?
Forgetting to bleed the system typically results in the engine running hotter than usual (as evidenced by the dash temperature gauge) or even overheating following a repair. Overheating even once can cause serious engine damage. The bleeding process is pretty straightforward and I’ll take you through the process step by step.
