If theengine was running, switch it off andwait some minutes for the engine oilto flow back into the sump beforechecking it. Pull out the dipstick, wipeit with a clean, non-fluffy cloth,re-insert it completely and pull it outonce more.
If the level is between the marks,there is no need to refill. Hot oil mayexceed the MAX mark by a fewmillimetres due to thermal expansion.
If the level is at the MIN mark, refillusing only engine oil meeting theFord specification. Approximately0.5-1.5 litres (depending on engine)of engine oil will raise the level of theoil film on the dipstick from the MINto the MAX mark.
