ENGINE OIL CHECK

See the scheduled maintenance
information for the appropriate intervals
for checking the engine oil.
1. Make sure the vehicle is on level
ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 minutes
for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
3. Set the parking brake and make sure
the gearshift is securely latched in first
gear.
4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from
engine heat.
5. Locate and carefully remove the engine
oil level dipstick.
6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the
dipstick fully, then remove it again.
7. Put the dipstick back in and make sure
it is fully seated.
• If the oil level is between the lower and
upper holes, the oil level is acceptable.
DO NOT ADD OIL.
• If the oil level is below the lower hole,
add enough oil to raise the level within
the lower and upper holes.
Engine Oil Recommendation
Use Motorcraft SAE 5W-50 full synthetic
or an equivalent SAE 5W-50 full synthetic
oil meeting Ford specification
WSS-M2C931-B.
Do not use supplemental engine oil
additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and
could lead to engine damage that is not
covered by Ford warranty.

CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
AND OIL FILTER
1. Remove the old oil filter and dispose
of properly.
2. Wipe the engine seal surface and
threads with a clean rag.
3. Apply oil to the new oil filter seal.
4. Install the oil filter and torque to 22-24
Nm (16-18 ft-lb).
Note: Use only a Motorcraft FL-2069-ST
oil filter for maximum performance,
reliability and durability. This filter was
specifically engineered for this vehicle.
Note: The use of any oil filter other than the
dealer supplied oil filter may cause engine
damage.
See the Engine Oil Check section in the
Maintenance chapter of your Owner's
Manual for information on changing the
engine oil.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

The concentration and level of engine
coolant should be checked at the mileage
intervals listed in the scheduled
maintenance information.
Note: Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and MAX marks on the engine and
coolant reservoirs.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The
level may extend beyond the MAX mark. If
the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant
immediately.
The coolant concentration should be
maintained within 48% to 50%, which
equates to a freeze point between -29°F
(-34°C) and -35°F (-37°C).
