How many liters of engine oil does the Mondeo 2.0t require?
1 Answers
The Mondeo 2.0t requires 4.5 liters of engine oil. The precise oil filling amount should be determined by checking the oil dipstick's scale lines. To check the oil level, ensure the car is parked on a level surface with the engine turned off. The oil level should not exceed the upper mark or fall below the lower mark on the dipstick; the optimal oil level is slightly below the upper mark. The hazards of overfilling or underfilling engine oil are as follows: 1. Excessive oil increases the crankshaft's rotational resistance, reducing the engine's output power. The excess oil may enter the combustion chamber, leading to oil burning, blue smoke emission, and increased fuel consumption. The residue from burned oil (primarily carbon, which is very hard) can accumulate on the combustion chamber walls, reducing the chamber's volume and thus the engine's compression ratio. Additionally, it accelerates wear on the cylinders and pistons, shortening the vehicle's lifespan. 2. Insufficient oil means components like the cam tappets and valves may not receive adequate lubrication, causing wear and potentially leading to severe engine damage such as cylinder scoring or bearing seizure.
