Oil Quantity for Zetec
jeffw - 13/6/08 at 08:44 AM

I have a 2lt Zetec in my Phoenix and I need to know how much oil I need and which viscosity would be best?

Off to the Ring so I wanted to do a oil and filter change before we go...

Definately 5W30 and fill it to the mark on your dipstick - capacity depends on your sump but needs to be to the max mark whatever it is.

Thanks for that...I assumed I'd need to get it up the dipstick Just wanted and idea of the quantity to buy (5lt or more )

I believe the standard car uses 4.5l of oil, so a 5l tin should cover it, unless you have a massive raceline sump fitted
