Replacing the Engine Oil Filter

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Oil filter

The filter is positioned under the airbox, so first, completely disassemble the air filter box and the connected hose. Using a ratchet spanner, gently unscrew the oil filter and remove it from its housing. Replace the used filter cartridge with a new one, and also replace the O-ring seal. Close the oil cap, reassemble the oil filter, and top up with new oil. After a test drive, check the oil level again. Do not dispose of used oil and the old filter in the environment; take them to the appropriate collection centres.
