Engine oil dipstick
The oil consumption of new engines
reaches the normal value only after
approximately 5 000 km.
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
the dipstick, wipe it with a clean,
non-fluffy cloth, re-insert it
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
specification.
Top up to only the upper mark
(MAX).
For further details, refer to section
Engine oil, page 174 and table
Capacities, page 174.
