Does anyone know the correct procedure for flushing the fluid in the hydraulic fluid fan reservoir? A splash of coolant got in there and I'm not sure if it will hurt. Thanks for the help?

NOTE: It is not uncommon to repeat this procedure three times.
Fill the hydraulic cooling fan reservoir to the MAX level.
Use Motorcraft MERCON (R) Multi-Purpose (ATF) Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX meeting Ford specification MERCON (R) or equivalent.
Apply vacuum for two to three minutes.
**68-85KPa(20-25 In-Hg)**
Remove the vacuum pump.
Start the engine and turn the A/C on MAX. This will run the hydraulic fan. If a whining noise is heard, repeat the procedure.
Special Tools:
Vacuum Tester 01-R1054 or equivalent
