Note: Do not add oil further than the
maximum mark. Oil levels above the

Note: Make sure you install the oil filler cap
correctly.
Note: Soak up any spillage with an
absorbent cloth immediately.
CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL
AND OIL FILTER
Do not handle a hot oil filter with
bare hands.
Continuous contact with used motor
oil has caused cancer in laboratory
mice. Protect your skin by washing
with soap and water.
If your vehicle is equipped with a diesel
engine, an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor
calculates the proper oil change service
interval. When the information display
indicates: OIL CHANGE REQUIRED, change
the engine oil and oil filter. See
Information Displays (page 64).
The engine oil filter protects your engine
by filtering harmful, abrasive or sludge
particles and particles significantly smaller
than most available will-fit filters. See
Motorcraft Parts (page 258).
1.
Unscrew the oil filter and oil pan drain
plug and wait for the oil to drain.
2. Replace the filter.
3. Reinstall the oil pan drain plug.
4. Refill the engine with new oil. See
Capacities and Specifications (page
269).
5. For diesel engines, you need to reset
the Intelligent Oil Life Monitor
Information Displays (page 64).
