Look on the bottle and see if it mixes with other coolants. If so.. Use it. If not, look to see what's in yours and see if it mix with it. If not. Drain you coolant. Add water, run it to temp, drain it again. Then add your good deal.

"sir overheating problem, fans not on properly and speedy so thats why coolant Stream from bottle"

it gets a high-temperature signal from the coolant temperature sensor,if the sensor is bad. it will not operate right. Current flows through the closed contacts of this switch to the electric motor, which spins to operate the fan. if the coolant level is ok, I would check the coolant temperature sensor and the fan relay in the fuse box. Good-Day!

Head gasket blown, how deep do i go to repair and prevent over heating problem

as long as you are replacing head gaskets, check all coolant lines for leaks, also replace thermostat and when done. flush out cooling system and radiator good. then you should be ok !! make sure radiator hoses are good and not collapsed on inside. have a good day ! when head gasket is off of vehicle. make sure the coolant ports on engine block are not plugged.

I would like to know what type and weight of oils to use in my 04 Excursion. Its a 4WD Eddie Bauer. I am attempting to get all specs so that I may just get under it one weekend and change all the fluids...

Ok, you use 15W 40 for engine oil rated for diesels for most conditions If it's going to be below -20, you should use 5W 40 full synthetic for diesel. It takes 5 quarts, so buy 6. For your transmission model 4R100 and transfer case, it takes 6.4 quarts Dexron III or equivalent transmission oil. Your transfer case takes the same oil. It takes 17 quarts for a total refill, which means draining the torque converter as well. I don't have the specs handy here for the diffs, but your automotive supplier should be able to tell you. It always pays to buy a little extra, too. The other thing that is REALLY important to change, especially with a diesel, is your engine coolant. The best place to buy your coolant is right from Ford and get their additive. They will tell you exactly how much you need. It is critical to the life of your diesel engine to get the coolant that's designed for it, and don't let anyone tell you anything different. I have replace many liners that were pinholed from cavitation from using the wrong coolant. Front and rear diffs: XY-90-GL in the front (SAE 90) in the front, 3.8 pints, XY-75W140-QL (synthetic)in the rear 6.5-6.9 pints, plus 2 XL-3 4oz modifiers in the rear in you have a limited slip. You can also check your powersteering fluid to make sure it looks clean and doesn't smell burnt. Have a fun weekend!

2001 Dodge 2500 Diesel...the oil pressure gauge goes to the top right in the "ok" range when I start it. After it warms up it acts more "normal". Just changed oil and filter...used the same Delo I've used...

I dont know what you mean when you say it acts "more normal?" What is normal? Those gauges on the dash are not real accurate, they are just there because men like gauges.Maybe the filter isnt flowing as much? are you using the same brand oil filter? I'm sure there isnt much wrong. The oil you are using is just fine.

My diesel engine on my VW TDI Jetta is having a hard time turning over. It takes forever to start and seems to be getting worse.

Have someone replace your fuel filters ($$$) and put a bottle of "Lucas Diesel Additive" available at Advance Auto Parts $8
P.S. If you have PREMIUM Diesel available in your area (BP-Chevron) run that for a couple of tanks.
Good Luck
