MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Add oil if the level is less than MIN, engine oil
filler cap is on the cylinder head cover. Wipe
the surroundings of the cap before opening
it. Pay attention to cleanliness if you would
use equipment such as measuring container,
funnel etc.
Fuel consumption value:
Oil consumption amount of the engine
between 2 maintenances depends directly
on the operating conditions of the vehicle
(loaded-unloaded, short-long haul, fuel quality,
engine oil quality). Under normal operating
conditions, engine oil consumption up to 0.8 lt
/ 1,000 km between 2 maintenance operations
is acceptable. These consumption values may
vary under heavy operating conditions.
Adding Fluid
When the engine oil level is reduced to critical
level, red “Engine oil low’’ warning shall
be displayed on the instrument. In this case,
engine oil shall be brought to required level
by adding engine oil within 500 km maximum.
We advise you to have the engine oil adding
operations performed in Ford Otosan
authorized dealerships.
CAUTION
Do not replace engine filters and tamper with
its connections when the ignition switch is at
position 2.
Important Points:
1- When the warning light illuminates, lacking
amount of oil in the engine is about 15 liters.
Oil shall be add until the level observed on the
dipstick reaches a level between MIN and MAX
marks. Add oil gradually and in a controlled
manner. Run the engine for a few minutes after
each oil adding operation. Stop the engine, wait
for 10 minutes, and check the engine oil level
with oil dipstick.
2- Do not add oil more than required. Excessive
engine oil may cause faults such as deterioration
of seals, excessive heating, blocking of catalyst,
oil leaks from various points on the engine.
3- Engine oils may lose their specifications if
engine oils with different specifications and
different brands are mixed.
In order to prevent costly damages to your
engine out of warranty cover, we recommend
you to top up the oil in your engine with oils
with the same brands and specifications when
adding oil is required between 2 maintenance
operations.

minimum level, “engine oil level warning light”
is illuminated on the display .
