Ford Mondeo mk5 2 litre tdci oil & filter change

[@broobie09]

Glad there is someone like you doing these videos,as there is no haynes manual for this car.keep up the good work al.

[@maovi7652]

Well done Alan! I'm very grateful for all jobs you showing us. Pleasant to watching your videos.

[@chrisbell-pctechnician3784]

Would love to see a video on how to change the Powershift Transmission Oil & Filter by you, with correct oil specs, part numbers etc. Thanks for all the other videos - really helpful.

[@coolissimo69]

Thanks Alan , I just bought a Mk5 so there is a lot ro learn.

[@0067jon]

Hi, My Mk 5, 2.0 tdci is giving erratic oil change notifications. Having covered 108k miles now it has often been around 13500 miles when the oil change notification pops up. The odd time it is popping up after as little as 8k even though my driving style is exactly the same and i had definitely reset the oil service life at the previous change. Have you yes this happening on any of the Mondeo's you service? I have just reset the service indicator this time for now at 8k when it came on as there no point changing the oil till it reaches at least 13000. It can't be that contaminated at such a low mileage? Oil level hasn't increased so I don't think it's because of failed regens and oil dilution.

[@alan4x]

i don't drive the cars but we ignore the vehicle service indicators..we just service the cars every 15k miles

[@CG-zm9oj]

Did you actually change the filter BEFORE draining the oil?

[@stevebayliss4597]

If you leave the filler cap on to start with would it come out slower to start with??? Just a thought..........

[@thomastogher2221]

Hi Alan Just wondering could an oil be done on a mondeo using ramps at the front and is the oil pan to the rear of the engine and would it drain fully using ramps

[@Berquin]

Hello, Do you know if it is the same procedure to replace the oil filter on a Mondeo Mk5_1.6 tdci _116hp (2015)?

[@brendanbradyfan3589]

Shocked to see that cheap plastic sump bung thing that only turns quarter turn and a little metal clip doesn’t look too robust for years to come

[@canarycityreefer8148]

Hi Alan, great vid as always. Now purchased a 14 plate Mondeo was wondering if the oil filter is in the same place as the 11 plate? Underneath the filler. Thanks

[@alan4x]

hi, yes the oil filter is pretty much in the same place...just harder to get to...there is a special spanner to get to it or a short 27mm spanner...or at worst..mole grips

[@canarycityreefer8148]

Thanks Alan, why they make them such a pain to get to is beyond me lol

[@darkwaterblue]

Naff plastic sump and what on earth is that plug. What is all that about.

[@keyboardwarrior2812]

Hi Alan you seem to know these cars inside and out. Love watching your videos. Very intuitive. I would like to pick your brains if you don't mind. Where do I find the colour code on my 2017 Mondeo MK5? Thanks Dave.

[@frenchyxvi1698]

Thank you so much for all your work Alan! "Trust" Ford wanted £800 for: oil and filter change on engine and gearbox + fuell filter change 😱 So I have ordered an air filter and a fuell filter for £35, going to get oil as well and do it myself. Apparently, the gearbox needs to be plugged to a computer for reset after oil change, is that true?

[@BillCarrIpswich]

Got quoted 350 for oil+fuel+air+cabin filters at a good independent I use. I'll do it myself 😅

[@herrbohnen]

What are your thoughts on using a vacuum pump to remove oil via the dipstick?

[@alan4x]

some cars use that method to remove the oil..oil does need to be warm but i would not do it on a car with a oil drain bung

[@Mr.M1STER]

That's not the worst. I have seen sump bungs that begin to leak the second you crack them loose and you have to continue to turn it out while the oil leaks. Has to be done though. I like to leave my oil drain for as long as possible maybe stick the kettle on while it drains and have a cuppa. I understand that this might not be possible in a garage as they have a certain amount of time to get the job done.

[@erkikaasik6767]

Great videos as always! Do you have experience about ticking sound in engine, if engine is cold (after 4 hours not working, 15 celcius outside air temperature). I noticed it after first oil change when I bought used car (100000 miles) and I used Castrol Magnatec Start-stop 0w30. Mine is 2015 year 2,0 diesel mark5 mondeo. Workshops dont know the issue.

[@alan4x]

you would need to get it looked at... might need the injectors reprogramming as they can make the engine noise

[@erkikaasik6767]

[@kirpi_bb]

I would like to add that normally after draining the old oil it is advisable to pour some fresh oil into the engine, start the engine, run it for 5-10 minutes to wash out the old oil and dirt, then drain it and re-fill according to the instructions.

[@igorceric3417]

How much oil is between Min and Max on stick? Thanks...

[@herrbohnen]

There was an issue with the oil filters becoming loose, it happened to both mine, thankfully i spotted the leak

[@alan4x]

your right... the 2litre engine filters do need to be seriously tightened..we have had several come loose but no disasters yet... i tighten the filters with a strap

[@st200ol]

@@alan4x I've had two unscrew by themselves on my Focus with the same engine. 1st time I hand tightened it as normal, came unscrewed. 2nd time hand tightened plus about a 1/4 turn, came unscrewed, third time, I noticed on the filter it said something about 3/4 turn to tighten it so that's what I did. We shall see. :-)

[@Jaydentaku2]

Hi Alan. Are any of the cars fitted with Powershift? I need to do an oil change on mine and it would be helpful to see a guide.

[@alan4x]

sorry no we have no autos....only manual

[@BillyRillkratz]

Why arent you filling the new filter with oil?

[@0067jon]

Hi Alan, what brand and viscosity oil do you use in these Mk 5 Mondeo's. I've been using the Ford recommended Csstrol Professional 0W 30 till now but as its very expensive I wondered if there was an alternative.

[@alan4x]

we do use the genuine ford ow/30 which yes is very expensive

[@BillCarrIpswich]

On my Euro 6 16 reg Kuga Ford recommend 5w30 for normal conditions and 0w30 for very cold (-20c). Triple QX do an oil that supposedly conforms to the Ford spec, and at less than 50 quid a change it's what I use.

[@damianpelowski5707]

How often need to change oil in those engines?

[@F15rocker]

Car was heavy before I started - worse now I let gravity into the engine. :)

[@silastypol]

Alan, tell me, cause nobody here in Poland knows, it’s necessary to replace turbo oil filter (this one behind the banjo screw) everytime when oil replacing? Is it hard to get there with tools? Thanks! :)

[@alan4x]

no you would only ever change that filter if you remove the banjo bolt or turbo for some reason...as long as you have the regular oil changes with the correct ow/30 oil then leave that filter well alone

[@silastypol]

Alan Howatt thanks for answer :)

[@silastypol]

Alan, and just one thing. It is difficult to get there with tools from the bottom of the car? Or it is nessesary to remove some other parts to get there? I’ve 2.0 TDCi Focus mk3.5 150hp diesel, so it’s the same as in Mondeo mk5. Thanks for help.

[@Fraggman666]

Same as the 2.0 190 ps ecoblue?

Gracias Alan!!! You always look so funny.

[@captainso]

My car is showing sign saying "change engine oil soon". Can i just topup oil instead?

[@umairmohammed5702]

Hi Alan do these MONDEO Mk5 eat oil ? Meaning if you put in 6.5 litres then does it come out with the same when you drain it ? As my message came up on dash to top up engine oil ! Mk4 never had this issue

[@alan4x]

hi, not all but quite a number of the taxis have been burning oil from new and needed around a litre of top up oil. its probably worth topping it up and see how many miles before top up oil message comes on again...if it does ... cars in the past would burn oil when new as engines were running in but i don't think they should be burning oil these days with strict emission limits

[@umairmohammed5702]

Alan Howatt Thanks for your reply me howatt! I know these use 0-30 oil which is too thin in my opinion ! Do you think it will make a difference to the engine if I use 5-30 ? Many thanks

[@alan4x]

5/30 will be ok but i would shorten the change interval to 10k miles or one year

[@DKmhun]

Hey Alan, Have you already done a battery change in one of these Mondeos? I've heard that it is a bit difficult.

[@alan4x]

hi, yes lots of battery changes, they are quite easy... i will do a vid on changing one asap

[@DKmhun]

alan howatt Great! I’ll be waiting for it.

[@petehowarth9471]

At 1:39 what is the purpose of that clear tube just to the right of the oil filter, I found mine connected at the bottom of the engine in the middle of those two bolts to the right of the filter and the other end just lying on top of the undertray. Surely the other end must be connected to something as it appears to be a breather pipe.
