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 232).
6. Remove the dipstick and wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth. See
Under
Hood Overview (page 234).
7. Reinstall the dipstick and remove it again to check the oil level. See
Engine Oil Dipstick
(page 237). 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 303).
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
3,000 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. 237

Specifications (page 303). You may
have to use a funnel to pour the engine
oil into the opening.

5. If the oil level is correct, replace the dipstick and make sure it is fully seated.
6. Replace the engine oil filler cap. Turn it clockwise until you feel a strong
resistance.

maximum mark. Oil levels above the
maximum mark may cause engine damage.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 2.3L ECOBOOST™/
5.0L
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
vehicle damage and personal burn
injuries, do not start your engine with the
air cleaner removed and do not remove
it while the engine is running.
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. Your warranty may not cover
these damages.
Only use the specified replacement air
filter. See Motorcraft Parts (page 298).
For EcoBoost equipped vehicles: When
servicing the air cleaner, it is important that
no foreign material enter the air induction
system. The engine and turbocharger are
susceptible to damage from even small
particles.
Change the air filter element at the proper
intervals. See
Scheduled Maintenance
(page 400). 1. Release the two clamps that secure
the air filter housing cover.
2. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
3. Remove the air filter element from the
air filter housing. 4.
Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter
housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and that you have a
good seal.
5. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing
and cover. This could cause filter
damage and allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine if it is not properly
seated.
6. Replace the air filter housing cover.
7. Engage the clamps to secure the air filter housing cover to the air filter
housing.
CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER - 5.0L, BULLITT WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
vehicle damage and personal burn
injuries, do not start your engine with the
air cleaner removed and do not remove
it while the engine is running.
See the scheduled maintenance
information for the appropriate intervals
for changing the air filter element.
When changing the air filter element, use
only the Motorcraft™ air filter element
listed. See the Motorcraft part numbers in
the Capacities and Specifications chapter.

1. Remove the two sensor wire harness
retainers from the air box studs located
on the front side of the air box.
2. Remove the four studs that fasten the upper air box housing to the lower air
box housing.
3. Separate the upper air box housing from the lower air box housing.
4. Loosen the air filter clamp enough to allow the filter to slip off the housing
easily.
5. Remove the air filter from the air filter housing.
6. Wipe the newly-exposed air filter outlet
tube clamping area clean to remove
any dirt or debris. 7. Install a new air filter, taking care not
to damage the air filter element. Align
the tab on the closed end of the filter
with the notch in the air filter housing.
8. Tighten the air filter clamp down.
Note: Do not overtighten the clamp or studs
when reinstalling.
9. Reinstall the upper air box piece to the
lower air box piece. Tighten the 4 studs
down.

retainers to the mating air box studs.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK WARNING: Do not remove the
coolant reservoir cap when the engine is
on or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10
minutes for the cooling system to cool
down. Cover the coolant reservoir cap
with a thick cloth to prevent the
possibility of scalding and slowly remove
the cap. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury. WARNING:
Do not put coolant in
the windshield washer reservoir. If
sprayed on the windshield, coolant could
make it difficult to see through the
windshield. WARNING:
To reduce the risk of
personal injury, make sure the engine is
cool before unscrewing the coolant
pressure relief cap. The cooling system
is under pressure. Steam and hot liquid
can come out forcefully when you loosen
the cap slightly. WARNING:
Do not add coolant
further than the MAX mark.
