Hello All:
I'm a new owner of a 2002 Focus and new to this forum, let me give a little background, I purchased the car from a nice young lady about 1 month ago, this car has a fresh reman SPI with about 15,000 miles, I finally got around to changing the engine oil and filter, to my surprise I needed 5 quarts in order for oil to reach just below the min line on the dipstick. I know these engines are only supposed to take 4 qts. I checked the part number on the dipstick and it's correct, the dipstick tube seems correct??? but I haven't taken it off the engine to check. The one dealer close to my house told me it should be 4 qts. The lady has no clue she just took the car for oil changes.... Does anyone have a clue to this mystery.... Could it be Ford uses a larger oil pan for reman engines??? any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. [???
