  Q: How to service the thermostat on Ford Taurus X?

  A: Service procedures for the thermostat begin with draining the cooling system. First disconnect the air cleaner assembly and outlet pipe after removing the two bolts from the thermostat housing cover that should be placed to the side. The housing cover installation should end at 10 Nm (89 lb-in). The service process includes extracting the O-ring seal and thermostat followed by careful cleaning then inspection of the O-ring seal so you can decide to replace it with a new one. Engine coolant requires cleaning before you can apply it as lubrication during the installation steps that reverse the thermostat O-ring removal process. The cooling system completion requires you to perform fluid filling and bleeding steps.
