oil fall below the lower mark on the dipstick.

sealed crankcase condition
Renew Engine Oil Filter
Your engine is equipped with a Motorcraft oil filter. A filter of this quality should be
used throughout the life of the engine. It is designed to protect your engine by
filtering harmful abrasive and sludgy particles without clogging up or blocking the
flow of the oil to vital engine parts. This filter is especially designed for use in
engines built by Ford to give successful operation with the recommended oil filter
change intervals. Contact your nearest Ford Power Product Distributor/Dealer
listed in the back section to obtain the correct filter. Before commencing, place a
drain pan beneath the filter to catch any spilt oil.
1. Using a suitable strap wrench, unscrew the oil filter canister.
2. Thoroughly clean oil filter housing face.
3. Partly pre-fill the new filter with clean engine oil of the correct type and grade.
Apply a thin film of clean engine oil to the oil filter sealing ring.
4. Screw on new oil filter canister until sealing ring abuts the filter head and tighten
a further 1/2 turn. Do NOT use a strap wrench or similar tool to tighten the filter
canister.
5. Run engine and check for any leaks from oil filter.
6. Stop engine, allow oil to settle and top up as necessary.
