Part: Engine oil

Open the front hood and make sure it is supported safely. Unscrew the oil filler cap and with the appropriate socket wrench unscrew the cap of the oil filter container (cartridge filter): remove the old filter and insert the new one, also replacing the cap O-ring. Therefore, open the lower casing placed to protect the oil sump drain plug and, after having positioned a tray of suitable capacity under the pan, unscrew the cap and complete the drainage of the used oil; at the end, screw the cap back on and close the casing. Finally, fill the engine with new oil according to SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the use and maintenance manual. Complete the service by checking (and if necessary topping up) the power steering oil, coolant and washer fluid level.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
