If you read Fords flush procedure, you need to drain, add 2 qts. VC-9 iron cleaner, top off with distilled water and drive or run for approx. 1 hour. I just took mine for a 20 mile freeway drive. Then drain and remove t-stat. Refill and flush 4 to 5 times with distilled water till drain water coming out is as clear as water going in. Replace t-stat with new O ring and add 1/2 cooling system capacity Ford premium gold or Zerex GO5 coolant and then top off with distilled water. You will then have the perfect 50/50 mix. You will need to drive it a few times to get all the air out of the system. Just keep an eye on your degas bottle. The VC-9 is 26.50 + tax per qt. Not cheap but a requirement by Ford.
