    Tanong ko lang, ano ba tinatop up natin sa ranger natin sa coolant reservoir? Sabi kasi sa casa pag kinulang konti sa max yung coolant, tap water lang daw. Ok lang ba yun? Or coolant talaga top up? Color orange siya at anong coolant yun? Thanks.

    If your ranger is over 3yrs, you might as well drain your coolant. And fill it with new coolant.

    If your coolant level is dropping you might have a leak. Have it checked.

    Distilled water or orange coolant can be used to top off. Ford should have that coolant and it shouldnt cost that much. Acehardware might have prestone/peak dexcool coolants.

    Hindi naman bumababa yung coolant level nasa max naman. Okay, i'll ask ford casa how much, but ang sabi nung isa nasa service hanggang 150k daw bago iflush. Parang hindi ata tama?

    Isisingit ko nalang din ang tanong, about fuel gauge reading, nag pa gas ako kanina umaga so obviuosly nabawasan na yung fuel ko, pero pag start ko after ilang hours tambay, biglang tumaas uli yung fuel gauge ko. Bakit ganun? This is after casa nag pachange oil ako 2days ago.

    Almost 13L pala coolant nyan hehehe. Extral longnlife coolant. Check your owners manual for coolant change interval.

    As for fuel gauge, baka nasa incline ka kanina? I usually set my readout for "range" or "distance to empty" for example you ask for 500 pesosnor full tank at least alam mo ang range ng 500 pesosnor full tank.

    Who at the dealer told you that? Report them to the service manager... you should NEVER put tap water in the cooling system. Non-distilled water has a lot of dissolved minerals and particulates that can cause fatal scale and deposit build-up inside the radiator.

    Use only approved coolant or distilled water.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    If you've never used tapwater, no need for a flush... but it's not a bad idea to do it every few years.
