Add oil if the level is less than MIN, engine
oil fi ller cap is on the cylinder head cover.
Wipe the surroundings of the cap before
opening it. Pay attention to cleanliness
if you would use equipment such as
measuring container, funnel etc.
Fuel consumption value:
Oil consumption amount of the engine
between 2 maintenances depends directly
on the operating conditions of the vehicle
(loaded-unloaded, short-long haul,
fuel quality, engine oil quality). Under
normal operating conditions, engine oil
consumption up to 0.8 lt / 1,000 km
between 2 maintenance operations
is acceptable. These consumption
values may vary under heavy operating
conditions.
Adding Fluid
When the engine oil level is reduced
to critical level, red “Engine oil low’’
warning shall be displayed on the
instrument.
In this case, engine oil shall be brought
to required level by adding engine oil
within 500 km maximum. We advise you
to have the engine oil adding operations
performed in Ford Trucks authorized
dealerships.
CAUTION
Do not replace engine fi lters and tamper
with its connections when the ignition
switch is at position 2. Important Points:
1- When the warning light illuminates,
lacking amount of oil in the engine is about
15 liters. Oil shall be add until the level
observed on the dipstick reaches a level
between MIN and MAX marks. Add oil
gradually and in a controlled manner. Run
the engine for a few minutes a er each oil
adding operation. Stop the engine, wait for
10 minutes, and check the engine oil level
with oil dipstick.
2- Do not add oil more than required.
Excessive engine oil may cause faults such
as deterioration of seals, excessive heating,
blocking of catalyst, oil leaks from various
points on the engine.
3- Engine oils may lose their specifi cations
if engine oils with di erent specifi cations
and di erent brands are mixed.
In order to prevent costly damages to
your engine out of warranty cover, we
recommend you to top up the oil in your
engine with oils with the same brands and
specifi cations when adding oil is required
between 2 maintenance operations.
CAUTION
When the engine oil level is reduced
to the minimum level, “engine oil level
warning light” is illuminated on the
display.
In this case:
1- It is possible to drive up to the fi rst rest
stop. Road assistance is not required.
2- Vehicle shall be parked on a level
ground on the rest stop area, park brake
shall be applied and required safety
precautions shall be taken.
3- When the vehicle has rested for
75 minutes with ignition o , oil shall
completely fl own to the oil pan.
4- Without turning the ignition / engine
on, cab shall be tilted and oil level shall
be measured with the engine oil dipstick.
