I recently bought a 2019 Ford Kuga and I'm not sure how to properly check the oil level. I couldn't find this information in the manual. Can someone help me out?
ReplyTo check the oil level on your Ford Kuga, park the car on a level surface and wait for the engine to cool off. Locate the dipstick (usually yellow or orange), pull it out and wipe it clean. Then, re-insert the dipstick all the way back in and pull it out again. The oil should be between the two notches on the dipstick. If it's below the lower notch, you need to add more oil.
In addition to checking the oil level, also check the color and consistency of the oil. It should be a golden brown color and have a smooth, slightly thick consistency. If the oil is dark or gritty, then it's time for an oil change.
