How much time should I wait to check the oil after shutting the car down? Stay strong
Which Fords? Or all of them? Why would they be different?On a normal vehicle, ten to fifteen minutes is plenty of time. Some vehicles, Ford I think, have a longer time to wait.
'Most say'? I've never seen one that says that.What does your owners manual say? Most say bring the car up to operating temp, then wait at least 5 mins for the oil to drain back down and check it. I get the oil hot, and wait about 10 mins before checking it.
Every car is different. Check your OM.How much time should I wait to check the oil after shutting the car down? Stay strong
I check mine cold. I think both manuals say three mins after shut down. There can’t be much difference hot or cold.
What is this strange “OM” you speak of? I suspect 99.9% of US owners have never heard of it.Every car is different. Check your OM.
It's what I repeat to myself after too much time on BiTOGWhat is this strange “OM” you speak of? I suspect 99.9% of US owners have never heard of it.
