<p class="callout info"><span lang="zh-tw">有見都多左人問關於</span><span>Ford<span lang="zh-tw">車用既油，整返份簡單指南方便下大家。注意此指南只作參考用，如有疑問請參閱隨車的車主手册，或提供底盤號碼以供查閱。</span>   
</span>Fluid Guide Rev.03A  
  
Approved? Specification? Recommended for? <span lang="zh-cn">呢啲字眼經常出現代表咩意思？真係有原廠認證符合曬規格要求先至會寫係</span>Approved<span lang="zh-cn">。</span>Specification<span lang="zh-cn">就係廠方會對隻油出一份性能要求，油廠根據住呢啲數據出隻油就會咁寫。而</span>Recommended for<span lang="zh-cn">就更加鬆，通常唔會寫規格而係乜野類型波箱</span>/<span lang="zh-cn">引擎。</span><span lang="zh-tw">特別係波箱油</span><span>Ford<span lang="zh-tw">已經出過份文件針對呢類</span>”<span lang="zh-tw">大包圍啱駛</span>”<span lang="zh-tw">既波箱油產品，指好多張</span>’Recommended for’<span lang="zh-tw">張表勁長，寫符合三四個規格，其實完全符合唔到任何一個</span>Ford<span lang="zh-tw">既規格。咁至於</span>Approved<span lang="zh-tw">同</span>Specification<span lang="zh-tw">之間點選擇就視乎閣下有冇強烈既原廠情意結</span>......</span></p>

<span> </span>

#### <span lang="zh-tw">偈油</span>

<span lang="zh-tw">以下列出既偈油規格為普通日常使用計算，如果係長期高轉高負載則作別論。另外如果車輛仍在保養期內務必使用符合規格的偈油及偈油隔並保留單據，否則廠方可以此理由拒絕因使用不合規格油品而拒絕保養。同時絕不建議在偈油加入任何添加劑。</span>

<span> </span>

<span lang="zh-tw">偈油更換週期</span><span>: 10000<span lang="zh-tw">公里</span>/1<span lang="zh-tw">年，以先到者計算</span></span>

#### <span lang="zh-cn">波箱油</span>

<span lang="zh-tw">棍波波箱油基本上都唔點洗換，除非閣下經常激烈進取駕駛或者手腳不能協調成日掃牙</span><span>....<span lang="zh-tw">咁就當覺得唔順暢時先換。</span>  
</span>

<span lang="zh-cn">有啲自動波箱油係標榜</span>”Maintenance free/Fill for life"<span lang="zh-cn">，但個實情係指普通使用情況下</span>100000<span lang="zh-cn">公里免保養。所以係香港既普遍情況下建議</span>30000-50000<span lang="zh-cn">換波箱油。</span>
