Hello,
I have a 60 plate 2.0L diesel Mondeo. Up to now I had the car serviced to keep the warranty but I think the warranty was only for three years, so I am now wondering about serving it myself. I'm waiting for the haynes book to arrive in the post.
I have a warning message "service oil" appearing on the dashboard. Does this just mean the service is due? Google found a ford forum where someone thought it meant something else (oil contaminated due to dpf regeneration failure), however other posters just thought it meant regular service due.
What capacity does the engine hold: is it 5.6L? That's a shame as the oil (5w30 fully synthetic I believe) comes in 5L containers, so I will need to get a second one just for 0.6L (unless I buy 5L + 1L)
Is it a straightforward oil change with everything relatively accessible?
Thanks, Stephen.
