Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Oil filter
Operation: Guide to changing the engine oil filter

Changing the oil and filter are fundamental operations for the good preservation of your car. The following guide shows how to proceed if you intend to carry out the operation in complete autonomy. Improper oil change could damage the engine. The operation must be carried out with the engine cold to avoid getting burned. The car is lifted with a jack and the waste oil is drained into a container placed underneath. The oil filter must be unscrewed with a clamp wrench. The new filter must be maintained taking care to moisten the gasket with oil so that it can acquire greater adherence.

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.
