Engine Oil Check - Ford FG X FALCON SEDAN 2015 Owner's Manual

ENGINE OIL CHECK

The oil consumption of your engine
is influenced by many factors. New
engines reach the normal value only after
approximately 10,000 km.
High-performance engines consume
slightly more. Under high loads, your
engine also consumes more oil.
Check the engine oil periodically; for
example, when refuelling or prior to long
journeys.
Check the engine oil level with the
engine at operating temperature and
make sure the vehicle is standing on
level ground.
Switch the ignition off and wait a few
minutes for the engine oil to flow back to
the sump.
Pull the dipstick out, wipe it with a clean,
lint-free cloth, reinsert it completely and
pull it out once more.

V8 Engine Oil Dipstick
The oil level is shown by the oil film
adhering to the dipstick. If the level lies
between the 'ADD' and 'FULL' marks
there is no need to refill. Hot oil may
exceed the 'FULL' mark for some
millimetres due to thermal expansion.
If the oil lies in the 'ADD' region, refill
using only engine oil meeting the Ford
specification.
Refer to the 'Fluid Specification' section
in the Customer Assistance, Warranty
and Service Guide.
Never top up above the 'MAX' mark.
