Engine Performance problem
1995 Ford Escort Two Wheel Drive Manual

I recently bought a second hand car from a dealership. it seems to be running fine. just before I bought it the man at the dealership ensured me he had allready checked all the fluid levels and topped up any that needed it. I recently checked my oil level and found it to be quite a bit below the first marker. being a second hand car it did not come with a manual. can i just top it up if so what sort of oil should i use. Also the engine coolant level seems a bit low. do i top it up with anti-freeze or anti-freeze and water. thnkyou for your time

Hi there,
i think that you should just change the oil & filter and start afresh, use 20-W50 this should be fine, also do a coolant flush as well, just follow the instructions on the coolant container,
