This video will show you how to drain the coolant replace the thermostat plus housing and refill the cooling system on the 2012-2018 Ford Focus. Since producing this video Ford no longer recommends the orange coolant in these cars. They have now switched over to the yellow coolant which is backwards compatible with the old orange coolant and can be mixed or topped off with no issues here is a link to the bulletin on it https://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/quickref/FCSD%20Motorcraft%20Yellow%20Antifreeze-Coolant%20Backward%20Compatability.pdf but if you want to continue using the orange coolant I will provide links to both colors below. Thermostat was purchased from Amazon and I have provided a link to it below. I will also include links to some of the other parts and products used in this video to help you get through this procedure.
