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

Yes the heater works ok. I checked the coolant level and it was good.


Right now its on the delearship.

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

Or a faulty temperature sender.......
Is it physically hot?
Did it go into cooling failure limp home mode?
