What coolant would be ok for a 2011 Focus and a 2010 Fusion 4cyl? Would DEX COOL be ok to use?

G-05 is the factory coolant for my 2011. Well, Ford's expensive version of it. I used G-05 again, or if I wanted to use something cheap, I would use conventional green
You mean the all makes all models stuff?
I think the "regular green" is different than the universal coolant.
The Focus will use G05, and your Fusion will use "specialty green" which is an asian P-HOAT (common P-HOAT equivalent is Mazda FL22, or Zerex Asian). Ford used a couple different coolants in that time period, depending on the model.
Motorcraft application chart indicates the following:
2010 Focus: G-05 coolant. That would be the Zerex version or Motorcraft Gold. All makes, all model is more of a DexCool formulation than G-05. Last time I purchased G-05, it was just as cheap at the Ford dealer as it was at a parts store. I had difficulty finding it in my area, so I went with Motorcraft.
2011 Fusion: more complicated. G-05 was used prior to 7/6/09 and the Dark Green Motorcraft Specialty Green coolant (not the same as the old school green) after that. Take a look and see what the Fusion has or find the build date, and base your choice on the info I provided.
Hope this helps out.

Thanks and the Dexcool says meets Ford WSS-m97b44-D so dunno if it's ok for focus. Fuaion my friend is going to dealer for
It since he works for ford

WSS-M97B44-D is for the Ford standard green, not specialty green spec. So the Focus is not covered under that spec. It is covered under WSS-M97B51-A1, which is for the Motorcraft Gold G-05.
This is from the Motorcraft Coolant application chart notes.

Ok, and I think the gold jug peak coolant has the ford spec; I am in Wal Mart and they have none of that

My 10 Mustang GT came with G05 but the 11uses Dex. I recently changed mine and stayed with G05. I was surprised when Ford went to Dex as the G05 is a great coolant.
