MAXB
ENGINE OIL CHECK
To check the engine oil level consistently
and accurately, do the following:
1. Make sure the parking brake is on. Make
sure the transmission is in park (P) or
neutral (N). 2. Run the engine until it reaches normal
operating temperature.
3. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
4. Switch the engine off and wait 15 minutes
for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
Checking the engine oil level too soon
after you switch the engine off may result
in an inaccurate reading.
5. Open the hood. See Opening and
Closing the Hood (page 287).
6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
See Under Hood
Overview (page 288).
7. Replace the dipstick and remove it again
to check the oil level.
See Engine Oil
Dipstick (page 292).
8. Make sure that the oil level is between the maximum and minimum marks. If the
oil level is at the minimum mark, add oil
immediately.
See Capacities and
Specifications (page 357).
9. If the oil level is correct, replace the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated. Note:
Do not remove the dipstick when the
engine is running.
Note: If the oil level is between the
maximum and minimum marks, the oil level
is acceptable. Do not add oil.
Note: The oil consumption of new engines
reaches its normal level after approximately
3,100 mi (5,000 km)
.
Adding Engine Oil WARNING
Do not remove the filler cap when the
engine is running.
Do not use supplemental engine oil additives
because they are unnecessary and could
lead to engine damage that may not be
covered by the vehicle Warranty.

Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the Normal
Schedule: Axle and PTU maintenance
: The Power
Transfer Unit (PTU) and rear axle (AWD only)
in your vehicle does not require any normal
scheduled maintenance. Taurus SHO
vehicles are electronically monitored and
notify the driver required by service by
displaying a message in the information
display. The PTU lubricant will be more likely
to require a fluid change if the vehicle has
extended periods of extreme or severe duty cycle driving. Changing or checking the PTU
lubricant is not necessary unless the unit has
been submerged in water, shows sign of
leakage or (Taurus SHO only) a message
indicating required service is displayed.
Contact your authorized dealer for service.
