Ok we have an O'reilly here in town. So no mixing at all? Just pour it right into the clear tank when the car is cold I assume?
Depends on which one you buy. there is concentrate and then there is ready to use.

I will look for the ready to use. Not sure if I should fill to max fill line or maybe just halfway inbetween the mix and max lines? Honestly I don't think I've ever put coolant in a car before which I guess is a good thing:)

I went a hair above Max's I wanted to see movement easier, and it's easier to see with the Max Line there, won't hurt it being at max.

I would stick with the Motorcraft antifreeze that is the factory fill. You can get a gallon of prediluted antifreeze from your dealer. It's not that expensive. In a pinch, Amazon has it as well.

Does anyone know the difference between the Motorcraft Gold and Motorcraft Yellow? Look to be the same price at O'reilly.

For coolant I ALWAYS go with the manufacturer's product. Never, ever, ever, ever, go with something that says compatible with X,Y,Z. That is always a compromise. Same for tranny fluid. Just my opinion.
