Engine oil dipstick
The oil consumption of new
engines reaches the normal value
only after approximately 5,000
kms.
Make sure the vehicle is standing
on level ground. Check the engine
oil before starting the engine. If the
engine was running, switch it off
and wait some minutes for the
engine oil to flow back into the
sump before checking it. Pull out
the dipstick, wipe it with a clean,
non-fluffy cloth, re-insert it
completely and pull it out once
more.

If the level lies between the marks,
there is no need to refill. Hot oil
may exceed the MAX mark by
some millimetres due to thermal
expansion.
If it lies at the MIN-mark refill using
only with engine oil meeting the
Ford specification.
Top up to only the upper mark
(MAX).
For further details, refer to section
Engine oil change 111 and table
vehicle fluids 112.
Oil pressure warning light
If the light stays ON after starting
or illuminates during a journey,
stop immediately, switch OFF the
engine and check the engine oil
level.
Top up straight away if the level is
low.
Do not resume the journey if
the oil level is correct. Have
the engine checked by an
Authorised Ford Dealer.
Add engine oil that meets
Ford Specifications.
