ORDER OF EXECUTION |
- First, you should drive the car so that the oil is warmed up. Only then will the dirt particles "rise" from the oil pan and pass into the receiving bath.
- Raise the vehicle so that it is in a horizontal position.
- Place a large enough catch basin, bowl, or cut plastic oil container under the drain hole.
- Unscrew the oil drain plug with a spanner - this will save the plug head - and drain the used oil. Be careful when unscrewing - hot oil, like water, flows out of the oil pan (risk of scalding). The oil drain plug is in principle installed only with a new sealing ring.
Stone chip protection: The oil drain plug is located in the direction of travel under the oil pan. If only warm engine oil is drained, oil sludge does not remain in the oil pan. |
- Empty the collecting container and move to the area where the oil filter is located under the engine. In the Duratec-VE, it is best to release the filter using a clamp wrench. If this is missing, then "tap" a strong screwdriver on the metal housing (attention: risk of scalding - hot oil flows out) and then use it as a crank. Four-cylinder Mondeos have a filter cartridge that is pulled out of the filter housing. Before disposing of the filter as special waste, it should also be emptied of used oil by draining it into the collecting container.
"Hidden" in the oil filter housing: the filter cartridge. |
- Before screwing on (inserting) the new filter, lightly lubricate the sealing ring and tighten the filter securely.
- Fill in the required amount of oil (see table) and briefly start the engine (the car is stationary). As soon as the oil pressure indicator lamp goes out, this means that the oil filter is full.
- Check the oil filter and oil drain plug for leaks.
- Put the car back on its wheels.
