hi im changing the oil and oil filter today and was wondering how much oil to fill it back up with

Btw its a 2.0 zetec silvertop

Thanks jamie

Think they take something like 4.2 litres Jamie. Thats from the top of my head so might not be 100% right lol

and looking now the oil filter on the car already is alot smaller than the one i bought from halfrauds i bought one for a mondeo?

does your engine have the 1.6 oil pump or the 2.0? cos if its still on the 2.0 pump u need to use a cvh filter which is smaller

confused.com i have no idea how can i check?

Well the filter on the car is small so im guessing so would i not use a 1.6 zetec oil filter?

sounds like you need the cvh filter cos your engine still has the 2litre oil pump which means the zetec filter is too long

on my 2.0l i use the filter from a fiesta mk4 1.25, its shorter then the standard si 1.6 or 2.0 mondeo one. Thought the sump capacity was 4.5L minus a small amount for the shorter filter.

stick 4L in and keep checking your dipstick as you add more.

depends on what sump

ok problem solved all zetecs 1.6 1.8 2.0 are 4.25 litres and i managed to get a zetec filter on it was a squeeze tho :p
