ENGINE OIL CHECK
Note: Check the level before starting
the engine.
Note: Make sure that the level is
between the MIN and the MAX marks.
1. Make sure that your vehicle is on level ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 10 minutes for the oil to drain into the
oil pan.
3. 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, add oil
immediately.
Adding Engine Oil
Note: Do not remove the filler cap
when the engine is running. Note:
Do not add oil further than the
MAX mark. Oil levels above the MAX
mark may cause engine damage. Only use oils certified for gasoline
engines by the American Petroleum
Institute (API). An oil with this
trademark symbol conforms to the
current engine and emission system
protection standards and fuel
economy requirements of the
International Lubricants Specification
Advisory Council (ILSAC), comprised
of U.S. and Japanese automobile
manufacturers.
1. Remove the filler cap.
2.
Add engine oil that meets the Ford
specifications. See Capacities
and Specifications (page 330).
3. Replace the filler cap. Turn it until you feel a strong resistance.
