5. Locate and carefully remove the
engine oil level dipstick.
6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the
dipstick fully, then remove it again.
•If the oil level is between the
lower and upper holes, the oil level
is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
•If the oil level is below the lower
hole, add enough oil to raise the
level within the lower and upper
holes.
•
The maximum oil level is between
the upper hash mark and the
upper hole. Oil levels above this
range may cause engine damage.
Some oil must be removed from
the engine by an authorized dealer.
7. Put the dipstick back in and make sure it is fully seated.
ENGINE AND INTERCOOLER COOLANT
The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the
mileage intervals listed in thescheduled maintenance information.
Note:Make sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the engine and intercooler coolant reservoirs.
Note:For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a
refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300-ROB75240E available from your
dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test
strips for measuring coolant concentrations.
Note:Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the
MAX mark. If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant immediately.
Be sure to read and understandPrecautionsin yourOwner’s Manual.
If the coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval, the
engine or intercooler coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the
reservoir is low or empty, add coolant to the reservoir. Refer toAdding
coolantin this chapter.
