Motorcraft coolant at a glance
Motorcraft products in this directory are made or sold by Ford Motor Company. We list 1 of them, 1 car/light-vehicle. Listed chemistries: not published (1). Listed colours: Orange (1). 0 of 1 state a service life, and 0 make a "free of" claim (for example silicate-free or nitrite-free).
These counts describe what Motorcraft publishes, not how good a product is. A product with no listed spec codes may still meet them. It means the manufacturer did not print them on the page we checked.

Chemistries Motorcraft lists
Chemistry is the inhibitor family that protects the metals in a cooling system. Here is what Motorcraft names across its products, with a short explanation of each family:
- not published (1 product): The manufacturer does not name the inhibitor technology on the source we checked.
Two products in the same family are not always interchangeable, because additive levels and approvals differ. See OAT vs HOAT vs IAT and G11, G12, G13 and G48.
Specs and approvals Motorcraft lists
These are the OEM and industry spec codes Motorcraft lists across its products. Each one reads as "meets [code] per Motorcraft". The manufacturer's own wording ("approved", "meets or exceeds", "recommended for") is quoted on each product page. A listing is the manufacturer's claim, not an approval by Coolant.com or by the vehicle maker unless the wording says so.
| Spec code (as listed by Motorcraft) | Family | Products listing it |
|---|---|---|
| WSS-M97B44-D2 | Ford | 1 |
| GMW 3420 | GM | 1 |
| GM 6277M | GM | 1 |
Industry test standards listed: ASTM D3306 (1). ASTM D3306 covers light-duty glycol coolants, D4985 and D6210 cover heavy-duty coolants, and D8039 covers propylene-glycol fluids for data-center cooling.
Not sure which coolant your car takes?
Find your coolant →How to choose a Motorcraft coolant
- Find the spec in your owner's manual (or the label on the coolant reservoir cap). It may be a code such as WSS-M97B44-D, GMW 3420, MS-12106, TL 774-G or MB 325.0, or a named factory coolant.
- Check whether Motorcraft lists that exact code. Use the table above, or type the code into Find my car coolant. Letter suffixes matter: TL 774-G is not TL 774-J.
- Open the product page and read the wording. "Approved" is stronger than "meets or exceeds", and both are stronger than "recommended for vehicles requiring".
- Choose premix or concentrate. Motorcraft lists 0 concentrate and 1 premix products here (some are sold both ways). Premix avoids mixing errors; concentrate must be diluted with distilled or deionised water. See premix vs concentrate.
- Do not mix chemistries. If the system already holds a different coolant, check the mixing checker or flush first. See can you mix coolant?
