B 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 (3 000miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the
MIN and the MAXmarks. 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 MAXmark.
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 MINmark, top up
immediately.

* Providing it meets the specification defined by WSS-M2C913-C, you can also use
Ford Engine Oil or an alternative engine oil.
Note:If you operate your vehicle in temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), you must not
use SAE 10W-40 engine oil.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C, you must use SAE 5W-30(preferred),SAE 5W-40 (except
vehicles with E85 fuel) or SAE 10W-40that meets the specification defined by either
ACEA A1/B1 (preferred) orACEA A3/B3. Using these oils can result in longer engine
cranking periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased
emission levels.
Castrol engine oil recommended. Capacities
