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 kmmaximum. We advise you to have the engine oil adding operations performed in Ford Trucks 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. CAUTION When the engine oil level is reduced to the minimum level, “engine oil level warning light” is illuminated on the display. In this case: 1- It is possible to drive up to the first rest stop. Road assistance is not required. 2- Vehicle shall be parked on a level ground on the rest stop area, park brake shall be applied and required safety precautions shall be taken. 3- When the vehicle has rested for 75 minutes with ignition off, oil shall completely flown to the oil pan. 4- Without turning the ignition / engine on, cab shall be tilted and oil level shall be measured with the engine oil dipstick.

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.
