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
5000 kilometres (3000 miles).
Checking the oil level CAUTION
Make sure that the level is between
the MIN and the MAX marks.
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 MAX mark.
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 MIN mark, top up
immediately.
Topping up WARNINGS
Only top up when the engine is cold.
If the engine is hot, wait 10 minutes
for the engine to cool down.
Do not remove the filler cap when
the engine is running.
Remove the filler cap.
CAUTION
Do not top up further than the MAX
mark.
Top up with fluid that meets the Ford
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 192).
Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel
a strong resistance.

specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 192).
WASHER FLUID CHECK
Note:
The front and rear washer systems
are supplied from the same reservoir. When topping up, use a mixture of washer
fluid and water to help prevent freezing in
cold weather and improve the cleaning
capability. We recommend that you use
only high quality washer fluid.
For information on fluid dilution, refer to
the product instructions.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Vehicle fluids CAUTION
Do not use fluids which do not meet the specifications or requirements defined. Use
of unsuitable fluids may lead to damage which is not covered by your Warranty.

Your engine has been designed to be used with Castrol and Ford Engine Oil, which gives
a fuel economy benefit whilst maintaining the durability of your engine.
For petrol engines only, Ford and Castrol have developed a low friction SAE-5W-20 oil
which offers further fuel economy benefits over the standard SAE-5W-30 oil. If this oil
is not available, we recommend that you service with oil to specification WSS-M2C913-C.
Topping up the oil: If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined
by WSS-M2C913-C or WSS-M2C925-B (petrol engines only), you must use SAE 5W-30
that meets the specification defined by ACEA A5/B5.
Using topping up oils other than the one specified can result in longer engine cranking
periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission
levels.
Castrol engine oil recommended.
