How Many Liters of Transmission Oil Does a 1.6 Focus Require?
3 Answers
1.6 Focus requires 6 to 7 liters of transmission oil. The 2020 Focus features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122 PS, a maximum power of 90 kW, and a maximum torque of 153 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The methods for changing transmission oil are: 1. Gravity drain: Loosen the nut at the bottom of the oil pan, and the transmission oil will automatically flow out from the drain hole. 2. Machine flush: Connect the transmission to a flushing machine via pipes to push out the old oil with new oil.
I remember when driving the 1.6L Ford Focus manual version, the transmission oil capacity was about 1.8 liters, just one bottle per change. But don't pour it all at once - leave some room to check the dipstick level, as overfilling can actually hurt performance. I always check the oil condition too, looking for contaminants or discoloration - timely replacement prevents major repairs. Recommend changing every 60,000 km or 2 years, using genuine or reputable brand oil to prevent leaks, rust and extend lifespan. This model's easy to handle, affordable to maintain, and can last over a decade with proper care - just don't neglect the small details.
When changing the transmission oil for a 1.6L Ford Focus manual model, generally adding 1.7 to 1.9 liters is sufficient. Avoid overfilling as it may affect clutch feel. Personally, I use economical oil to save money—original manufacturer oil is too expensive and unnecessary, but ensure the grade matches, such as GL-4 viscosity being just right. Regular maintenance for this car is cost-effective, costing at most a few hundred more per year, saving you the hassle of breaking down. Additionally, when checking oil levels, don’t just measure the quantity—also test viscosity and temperature, with simple tools costing just a few tens of yuan.
