ENGINE OIL CHECK
CAUTION
Do not use oil additives or other
engine treatments. Under certain
conditions, they could damage the
engine.
Note: The oil consumption of new
engines reaches its normal level after
approximately 5 000 kilometres (3 000
miles).
Checking the oil level
CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
Note: Check the level before starting the
engine.
Note: Make sure that your vehicle is on
level ground.
Note: Oil expands when it is hot. The level
may therefore extend a few millimetres
beyond the MAX mark.
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 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Remove the filler cap.
CAUTION
Do not top up further than the MAX
mark.
Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
specifications (page 112).
