Coolant Level Check on a 1997 Ford F-350 Lariat 7.3L V8 Turbo Diesel Standard Cab Pickup (2 Door)

Checking the engine coolant (also known as antifreeze) level in your 1997 Ford F-350 is pretty easy. In order to get an accurate reading, your 7.3 liter engine should be cool to the touch when you check it. Engine coolant / antifreeze circulates through your engine to keep it cool in the summer but won't freeze in the winter. The video above shows you where the coolant reservoir in your F-350 is located and how to check the coolant / antifreeze level. If you need to add anti-freeze, be sure to check your owners manual to determine the correct type of coolant to add - in Fords, it usually located in a section titled Fluid Capacities towards the end of your manual. See our video on how to add engine coolant for tips on adding coolant to your F-350.
