Propped the hood on the wife's 2017 F-Pace and noticed the coolant was low (see picture). Manual suggest stjlr.651.5003 specification. This has been covered on this forum many times with various brands suggested, but Im in Canada. VERY limites selection at local parts stores. I went over to the local Canadian tire and was not able to find anything to this spec. Ordering online from USA isnt practical. The local store carries the brand "OEM". Based on their website and search options for F-Pace, it suggests this one: https://oemeasymatch.com/products/oe...reeze-coolant/

The color is orange which appears to be consistent with the current coolant in the car. The site does suggest that its compatible with newer Fords and I understand that the 3.0 is a Ford engine (even the oil filter says FoMoCo ). Does anyone have any thoughts on this product? Or does anyone in Canada (Toronto) recommend a parts store with good compatible coolant?




On a related note, the coolant being low seems worrisome. I may have to trouble shoot why its low to begin with.

 

Any OAT or HOAT coolant will be perfectly OK as long as it is mixed with clean water to the ratio shown on the bottle. Colour doesn't mean much any more but if it's pink/red/orange it will be OK.
And it's NOT a Ford engine, I have explained this in several places on this forum and others until I am blue in the face but still the myth persists!

 

Hi
I bought the right orange stuff at Candian Tire in Toronto.
Their website mentions coolant to Jag spec. but its not marked on the container. Can't remember which of the dozen or so types it was, however.
After a lot of research, I discovered the Jag spec is actually a Ford spec, and, like Ford. it changed in 2019.
Not that a 2019 spec (pink I think) matters to us since the v6 was gone by then.
Two Euro parts outlets were adamant about not mixing different coloured coolants.

 

I'd focus on why it is losing coolant. If the leak gets worse and it dumps the coolant it can overheat and wreck the engine very quickly...
