jmurray01 Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 As long as it is above the MIN mark and it doesn't burn oil, you can safely drive it until you get more oil, so no rush. But I would say about 1-1.5 litres from the MIN to the MAX mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyckfocus Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 It should be 5L and 5.6L if you change the oil filter. I ended up geting 2 of the 4L Castrol from Adsa £24 each.As its recommend by ford why dont they sell it in 5.6L or at least 5L cans nyck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrrNoName Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 you should always change the filter when changing the oil, if not you instantly contaminate your fresh oil that you just paid for! plus your under the car anyway to release the drain plug, might aswell spend the £6 and 30 mins getting the filter off :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
