How to change the engine oil on the Ford Transit Custom 2013 - 2017 Diesel

[@saitsaatcigil9830]

My friend, you made a very nice post! You must be an expert in this job. I give you five stars, thanks

[@HaynesManuals]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Shouldnt be dipping the oil until the vehicle is off the axle stands and sitting level

[@HaynesManuals]

Yes, ideally, the vehicle should be level when checking the fluid levels.

[@novomarciorocha]

Someone knows how tall are thesse axle stands?

[@HaynesManuals]

Measure the distance from the underside of the chassis members to the ground. That will tell you the minimum size the axle stands need be.

@@HaynesManuals where did you get those axle stands? Its a nightmare to find any that have a saddle big enough to seat the chassis member on and the ones in the vids are perfect. I'm jealous evey time I see them :D

This oil is ravenol 0w30?

[@HaynesManuals]

According to the manual it should be: 'Multigrade engine oil, viscosity SAE 5W/30 to Ford specification WSS-M2C913-C'

Is a 2 Ton Turfer jack safe safe to lift the transit corners, I’ve only ever used it on my cars

[@robert8077]

You need buy 4 ton jack

simmiliar for Tourneo Custom Facelift 10/2018 ??

[@amarmatloob9624]

Hi, how much oil do these take?

[@HaynesManuals]

The 2.2L engine takes 6.5 litres with a new filter, and the 2.0L engine takes 8.3 litres (grey dipstick) or 9.8 litres (yellow dipstick)

[@amarmatloob9624]

@@HaynesManuals thank you soo much. Why does the 2L take soo much oil??

[@HaynesManuals]

You'd have to ask Ford that question. I presume that the engine design team specify the capacity based on the needs of the engine. More oil capacity means better ability to absorb heat, and a longer service interval before the oil is contaminated etc.
