V6.. Problems... Again

I went to Valvoline instant oil change last night and they topped off all of my fluids, they said my coolant was low and added more, by the time I left there parking lot, I barely got down the street and pulled into the ford dealership to look at the new 18’s but notice as soon as I stepped out that there was a puddle rapidly growing, and my coolant overflowed and is pouring, so I get home because I’m down the street and my car pissed out all of the coolant from the top of the coolant reservoir and is now completely empty, I tried to top it off but it’ll run fine for a few minutes then start to boil and reject it out of the system and my heat isn’t working now, my car wasn’t perfectly fine before I got my oil change and now she won’t accept any coolant

Wolf, are you aware of the issues 4.0 V6's have with cracked plastic upper thermostat housing assemblies?

There is an aftermarket metal replacement.
