How to Replace the Engine Oil in the Ford Focus?

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

To replace the engine oil in the Ford Focus, lift the car with a jack to access the components underneath. Here, you will find the oil drain plug, which can be removed to collect all the used oil in a suitably positioned container. Once all the oil has drained out, remove the oil filter located next to it and replace it with a new one. Then, access the top of the engine bay and top up by pouring the correct amount of oil with the appropriate specifications.
