Anyone here with a good tip about how to read a oil level from a dipstick in Fiesta ST 1.5 Ecoboost.
This is mine third Fiesta and it's is virtually impossible to read oil level on Fords dipsticks course oil is everywhere. Ot is so frustrating.
Not sure if we have the same dipsitck in the US as Norway, but ours has a molded grey plastic piece on the end that is to be read, if that helps clarify.
I find new oil very difficult to read as it is very transparent, used oil that has gotten a bit darker is easier to read.
I find this process the "most" successful, and I agree, the Fiesta 1.6EB motor is difficult to read the dipstick of compared to more simple stamped steel options.
1 pull dipstick
2 wipe all oil off of dipstick
3 re-insert dipstick fully
4 remove and then try a bunch of different light angles to get an idea of where the reflective oil is up to compared to the matte molded plastic piece.
I wish ya luck!
