Ford Escape: Adding engine oil
1. Check the engine oil. For instructions, refer to Checking the engine
oil in this chapter.
2. If the engine oil level is not within the normal range, add only certified
engine oil of the recommended viscosity. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and use a funnel to pour the engine oil into the opening.
3. Recheck the engine oil level. Make sure the oil level is not above the
MAX, FULL or upper hole/mark (depending on application) on the
engine oil level dipstick.
4. Install the dipstick and ensure it is fully seated.
