Note: The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
5,000 km.
Checking the Oil Level
Note: Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note: Level measurement will not be
accurate if this procedure is not followed.
1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level
ground.
2. If the engine is running turn it off and
wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain into
the oil pan.
3. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with
a clean, lint free cloth. Replace the
dipstick and remove it again to check
the oil level.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top up
immediately.
Topping Up
WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 15 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Remove the filler cap.
WARNING
Do not top up further than the MAX
mark.
Note: Oil expands when it is hot. Checking
the oil level when hot will be above the MAX
mark.
Note: Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately.
Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 148).
Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel
a strong resistance.
Engine severe usage conditions
In case of vehicle severe usage, engine oil
should be changed every 5,000 km or 3
months, whichever occurs first.
Severe usage conditions:
• Short distances (less than 5 km), in
which the engine does not reach
normal operating temperature,
• Frequent usage of vehicle on dusty
roads or in mountain areas,
• Usage in heavy urban traffic,
• Usage as driving instructors vehicle,
taxi vehicle, ambulance, military usage
or similar activities,
• Extended usage with contaminated
fuel.
Oil Consumption
In the first 5,000 km (run-in period) the oil
consumption is higher, and therefore the
oil level should be checked more
frequently. Maximum acceptable
consumption in this period is one liter. After
the break-in period the engine can
consume up to one liter every 10,000 km.
If the consumption is higher, go to an
authorized Dealer.
Oil consumption also depends on driving
style and vehicle use. Special operating
conditions such as, operating your vehicle
frequently at high speeds, could increase
oil consumption.
