WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Lincoln Navigator and 2006 Ford Expedition. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
If an overnight drive is done, the fan air or road air blast can cause erroneous readings.
NOTE:
When diagnosing engine oil leaks, the source and location of the leak must be positively identified prior to repair.
Prior to carrying out this procedure, clean all sealing surface areas with a suitable solvent to remove all traces of oil.
