Which coolant the 2017 Ford Transit takes
Ford's coolant chart approves Motorcraft Yellow Antifreeze/Coolant for this model year, or Motorcraft Orange, used alone or mixed with Yellow. Mixing coolant types can cause sludge and corrosion, so top up with the same product, or drain and refill completely when you switch. Other brands are fine if the jug says they meet Ford WSS-M97B57-A1/A2.

What a coolant change costs
At roughly 3.5 to 4.1 gallons of capacity, the coolant itself is about $53 to $123. A shop charges $70 to $120 for a drain and fill, or $100 to $250 for a full flush. Use the specification the manufacturer lists - mixing coolant chemistries is what turns a cheap service into a water-pump job.
