I've stuck with Motorcraft Gold Coolant. If you have an 5.4L-get 3 gals-it will take all of it but 1qt. Just changed my this past fall, working great.
Be sure to use distilled water, not the garden hose.

No, since the block was full of distilled water, I just added the antifreeze, started it up and let it mix. I had to top it off a little bit both times. It worked out fine and is easier than taking the drain plugs out of the block to drain it.
