Check Engine Oil Level
1. Make sure the equipment is standing level and
that the engine is stopped.
2. Pull out the dipstick and wipe it with a clean rag.
3. Insert the dipstick fully and again remove it. At no
time should the level of the oil fall below the lower
mark on the dipstick.
4. If necessary, top up to the dipstick higher mark
with an approved type and grade of oil.
5. Replace the dipstick, ensuring that it is fully
inserted into its tube to maintain a sealed crankcase condition
Renew Engine Oil Filter
CAUTION: The original oil filter is not available for
service. Use the recommended
Motorcraft FL-820S.
Your engine is equipped with a Motorcraft oil filter. A
filter of this quality should be used throughout the life
of the engine. It is designed to protect your engine by
filtering harmful abrasive and sludgy particles
without clogging up or blocking the flow of the oil to
vital engine parts. This filter is especially designed for
use in engines built by Ford to give successful
operation with the recommended oil filter change
intervals. Contact your nearest EDI
Distributor/Dealer listed in the back section
to obtain the correct filter. Before commencing, place a
drain pan beneath the filter to catch any spilt oil.
1. Using a suitable strap wrench, unscrew the oil filter canister.
2. Thoroughly clean oil filter housing face.
3. Partly pre-fill the new filter with clean engine oil of the correct type and grade. Apply a thin film of
clean engine oil to the oil filter sealing ring.
4. Screw on new oil filter canister until sealing ring abuts the filter head and tighten a further 1/2
turn. Do NOT use a strap wrench or similar tool to tighten the filter canister.
5. Run engine and check for any leaks from oil filter.
6. Stop engine, allow oil to settle and top up as necessary.
