Additional Notes
- The Ford Explorer (EU) 3.0 EcoBoost PHEV AWD carries two separate coolant circuits: one serving the combustion engine's cooling system at 18.3 liters, and a second dedicated to the electric motor at 4.6 liters, bringing the combined coolant volume across both circuits to 22.9 liters.
- The 18.3-liter capacity of the main combustion engine cooling system reflects a full system fill volume, accounting for the radiator, engine block, heater core, and associated hoses typical of a large-displacement turbocharged engine.
- The electric motor cooling circuit holds 4.6 liters, a capacity consistent with a dedicated thermal management loop designed to regulate heat in high-voltage drivetrain components rather than a combustion engine.
- Under normal use conditions, both the combustion engine cooling system and the electric motor cooling system share the same service interval of 160,000 km or 60 months, whichever comes first.
- A first-change-only interval of 320,000 km or 120 months applies to both cooling circuits, doubling the standard normal-use interval and reflecting the extended service life of the factory-fill coolant formulation used at initial fill.
- The 120-month first-change-only interval spans a full decade, indicating the factory coolant in both circuits is formulated for long-life performance before the standard 60-month cycle takes effect on subsequent changes.
