I would have expected the oil to get milky, but apparently the gold coolant that Ford uses does not do this, and normally the vehicle gets driven far enough every day to bring the engine up to proper operating temperatures. The oil was congealed inside, therefore I figured out where the coolant is going. Yesterdays oil change was not normal though. I'm not sure where it is going, but I keep filling the overflow tank to keep a proper level in it. I have had a coolant leak for some time now. The … only repairs I have needed to do so far are replace the thermostat bypass hose, replace upper and lower thermostat housings, and replace the front and rear wheel bearings. All in all, this has been, and continues to be a very solid and reliable vehicle. As of writing this review, I have just over 200K on this vehicle and did an oil change on it yesterday. I took over changing oil at around 120,000 miles and started with synthetic oil. I've had to do very few repairs and have had the oil changed every 5,000 miles.
