Engine Oil Check; Engine Coolant Check - Ford Transit VM 430 Handbook

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.
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.
Maintenance
Remove the filler cap.
Do not top up further than the
MAX mark.
Top up with fluid that meets the
Ford specification. See Customer
assistance, warranty and service
guide (Page 27).

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK

Checking the coolant level
Do not allow the fluid to touch
your skin or eyes. If this happens,
rinse the affected areas immediately with
plenty of water and contact your doctor.
Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and the MAX
marks.
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot.
The level may therefore extend beyond
the MAX mark.
If the level is at the MIN mark, top up
immediately.
Topping up
