Maintenance and care
Engine oil dipstick
The oil consumption of your engine
is influenced by many factors. New
engines reach the normal value
only after approximately 5 000 km.
Diesel and high performance
engines consume slightly more.
Under high loads your engine will
1.4 l/1.6 l Zetec-SE 16V engine
also consume more oil.
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
1.6 l Duratec-8V/
the dipstick, wipe it with a clean,
1.8 l/2.0 l Zetec-E/
non-fluffy cloth, re-insert it
2.0 l Duratec-ST engine
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 engine oil meeting the Ford
Endura−TDDi Turbo diesel engine
specification. Approximately
0.75 litre (diesel engine 1.5 litre) of
engine oil will raise the level of the
oil film on the dipstick from the
MIN to the MAX mark.
Top up to only the upper mark
(MAX).

DuraTorq-TDCi Turbo
chapter Capacities and
diesel engine
specifications.
