MAX • If the oil level is between the MIN and MAX marks, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL. • If the oil level is below the MIN mark, add enough oil to raise the level within the MIN and MAX marks • The maximum oil level is between the upper hash mark and the MAX mark. Oil levels above this range may cause engine damage. Some oil must be removed from the engine by an authorized dealer. 7. Put the dipstick back in and make sure it is fully seated. ENGINE COOLANT The concentration and level of engine coolant should be checked at the mileage intervals listed in the scheduled maintenance information. Note: Make sure that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the engine coolant reservoirs. Note: For best results, coolant concentration should be tested with a refractometer such as Rotunda tool 300-ROB75240E available from your dealer. Ford does not recommend the use of hydrometers or coolant test strips for measuring coolant concentrations. Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. The level may extend beyond the MAX mark. If the level is at the MIN mark, add coolant immediately. Be sure to read and understand Precautions in your Owner's Manual. If the coolant has not been checked at the recommended interval, the engine or intercooler coolant reservoir may become low or empty. If the reservoir is low or empty, add coolant to the reservoir. Refer to Adding coolant in this chapter. Note: Automotive fluids are not interchangeable; do not use engine coolant/antifreeze or windshield washer fluid outside of its specified function and vehicle location. For more information about engine coolant, see the Maintenance chapter of the Owner's Manual. 22 2013 Focus ST (stf) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
