The 2000 Ford Windstar had plenty of options to choose from, so buyers could personalize it to fit their families and budgets. One such option was a rear heater, which was available on the LX trim level for $965, and was standard on the SE trim level. When calculating the coolant capacity of your 2000 Windstar, you need to know whether it has this option of not, as it adds an extra 0.28 gallons to its capacity.
If your Ford Windstar does not have a rear heater, then it has a coolant capacity of 3.7 gallons. If it has the optional rear heater, then it requires 3.98 gallons of coolant. In either case -- with or without rear heat -- your 2000 Windstar uses Ford Premium Engine Coolant, which is green in color, mixed with clean tap water in a 50-50 ratio.
