How often should I change the coolant in my Ford Focus?

I drive a Ford Focus and I'm wondering how often I should change the coolant to keep my car running smoothly. Is there a recommended time interval or other guidelines I should follow?

It's recommended to change the coolant in your Ford Focus every 2 years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. This will help to keep your engine running at peak performance and prevent any potential overheating issues.

If you drive your Ford Focus in extreme temperature conditions or regularly tow heavy loads, it's a good idea to change the coolant more frequently, about every 15,000 miles. This will help to maintain the proper balance of antifreeze and water in your engine.

Don't wait until your coolant light comes on to change the coolant. Make sure to check your levels regularly and top off as needed. If the coolant looks dirty or has a strange odor, it's time to change it.
