In a few simple steps, replace the engine oil and oil filter, performing the routine maintenance service on the Ford Focus. First, raise the vehicle and start unscrewing the oil drain bolt located under the engine, allowing it to drain into a container for about ten minutes; then use the appropriate tool to unscrew the oil filter cartridge located next to it, as shown in the video.
