Need to do an oil change on my sister's 2006 LS Focus (2.0L Duratec petrol engine). Thought it would be good to start a thread about this which contains all relevant information for such an oil change.
Oil 5W-30 oil is stated in the owner's manual Most people seem to go for Castrol Edge 5W-30 on this forum But i might try Penrite HPR 5W-40 as i've had good experiences with this oil before Oil Filter Ryco part number Z418 Funnily enough the Ryco site only has an oil filter listing for build date 05/05 -06/07 (LS model) Does the LT model use a different filter as i'll be doing an oil change on our 2008 LT Focus soon as well Sump Drain Bolt Remember reading somewhere the sump drain bolt is a 13mm bolt Can anyone confirm this? Will update this thread when i've done the oil change (most likely next weekend). Will take some pics along the way as well |
