Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Make sure the vehicle is standing onlevel ground. Check the engine oilbefore starting the engine. If theengine was running, switch it off andwait some minutes for the engine oilto flow back into the sump beforechecking it. Pull out the dipstick, wipeit with a clean, non-fluffy cloth,re-insert it completely and pull it outonce more.
If the level is between the marks,there is no need to refill. Hot oil mayexceed the MAX mark by a fewmillimetres due to thermal expansion.
If the level is at the MIN mark, refillusing only engine oil meeting theFord specification. Approximately0.5-1.5 litres (depending on engine)of engine oil will raise the level of theoil film on the dipstick from the MINto the MAX mark.
