Zetec needs 4.25 litres with oil filter change. If you loosen the drain plug enough, it will drip. Use a cup or cut open an old one litre oil plastic container to estimate.

From 1996 Owners' Manual,

"2.0L engine: Carefully, pull the dipstick out again. If the oil level is below the lower notch, add engine oil as necessary. If the oil level is beyond the upper notch, engine damage and/or high oil comsumption may occur and some oil must be removed from the engine."
