Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Engine oil
Operation: Engine oil and oil filter replacement

If possible, place the car on special car platforms or lift it sideways with the jack to facilitate access to the oil pan. Therefore, place a pan of suitable capacity under the oil pan and unscrew the drain plug located on the side near the muffler pipe; once the oil has been drained, screw the cap back on. Then intercept the oil filter and unscrew it with a metal clamp wrench; then apply the new filter after having covered the gasket with oil. Finally, lower the car and fill the engine with new oil according to SAE specifications and the quantities indicated in the use and maintenance manual.

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.
