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 your
Ford 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.
Oil Filter
The oil filter's function is to filter out
harmful particles without obstructing the
flow of oil to vital parts. Use of oil filters
not meeting Ford specifications could
damage the engine.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
WARNING
Do not allow the fluid to touch your
skin or eyes. If this happens, rinse the
affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your physician.
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may therefore extend beyond the MAX
mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant
immediately.
Adding Engine Coolant
WARNINGS
Only add coolant when the engine is
cold. If the engine is hot, wait 10
minutes for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is hot. Wait for the engine
to cool down.
Undiluted coolant is flammable and
may ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
Note: Inspect or replace the lid with the car
turned off and the engine cold, to avoid
injuries or burns.
Note: In an emergency, you can add just
water to the cooling system to reach a
vehicle service station. Have the system
checked by a Ford Dealer as soon as
possible.
Note: Prolonged use of incorrect dilution
of the coolant can cause engine damage
from corrosion, overheating or freezing.
