Default Temperature problem help!

Hello Everbody,


So i took my pony into service 30000kms. I used 5w 40 full synthetic oil since thats the only Motorcraft have here in mexico, i took my pony on wednesday.

Yesterday at night under traffic conditions tempreature indicator went to high and i saw some anti freeze on the motor. So when i realize this i stopped the car and waited for it to went down, today in the morning the same thing so i decided to take it to the stealership.


So what could be happening with my car, the only difference is that i used Motorcrarft Full Syntethic 5w 40. Can this type of oil can cause this problem ?

What else can cause this problem ?

it shouldnt really be anything to do with your oil. Check your coolant level. It could possibly be a stuck thermostat.

when your car is getting hot, does your heater work in your car? If not its the thermostat. Simple change

It could still be the thermostat or even the water pump.
