Default COOLANT FLUSH! HELP!

I just got my coolant flushed today for 140 bucks at the dealer cause its been a while and i felt like i was low on coolant. I felt like they did a ****ty job cause when I checked i had a little coolant around my resevoir.

Anyway, how much coolant do i need in the reservoir? cause the level looks like how it did when I first took it in except the coolant looks clean now. Is it suppose to be half way cause its only like a quarter full? If I need to add more what kind of coolant does ford use? that way i dont mix coolants.

01 GT

Thanks a bunch.
