Maintenance

Oil Consumption

In the first 5,000 km (run-in period) the oil

consumption is higher, and therefore the

oil level should be checked more

frequently. Maximum acceptable

consumption in this period is one liter. After

the break-in period the engine can

consume up to one liter every 10,000 km.

If the consumption is higher, go to your

Ford Dealer.

Oil consumption also depends on driving

style and vehicle use. Special operating

conditions such as, operating your vehicle

frequently at high speeds, could increase

oil consumption.

Oil Filter

The oil filter's function is to filter out

harmful particles without obstructing the

flow of oil to vital parts. Use of oil filters

not meeting Ford specifications could

damage the engine.
