Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to change the engine oil of a Ford Focus

Before we begin, we will need to open the front hood of our Ford Focus. So let's start by unscrewing and removing the engine oil top cap. Next, we will have to lift the front of the car. We then proceed by unscrewing and removing the screws that secure the lower cover of the oil pan, and then remove the oil pan itself. At this point, we will need to unscrew and remove the lower oil pan drain nut. By doing so, we will drain the used engine oil. When we have completed this step, we will have to screw the lower drain nut again, then lower the front of the car and insert the new oil through the filler hole, and the replacement will be completed.

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.
