What is the maintenance interval for the Ford Focus?
2 Answers
The maintenance interval for the Ford Focus is every 10,000 kilometers. The maintenance items include oil change, coolant replacement, spark plug replacement, brake fluid replacement, and inspection and maintenance of vehicle components. Taking the 2020 Ford Focus as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4378mm, width 1810mm, height 1468mm, wheelbase 2705mm, fuel tank capacity 53 liters, and curb weight 1242kg. The 2020 Ford Focus features a front suspension with MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension with torsion beam non-independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, maximum power of 90kW, maximum torque of 153Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
As a new Ford Focus owner, I've been paying close attention to the maintenance schedule. The official Ford manual recommends minor maintenance every 6 months or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first, including oil changes, air filter checks, and tire pressure inspections. For city driving with frequent stop-and-go traffic, which leads to more engine carbon buildup, it's advisable to shorten the interval to every 3 months or 3,000 miles. If you do more highway driving, you can extend it to 7,500 miles, but don't exceed the manual's limits. I check the wipers and lights myself every month to save money and stay worry-free. Regular maintenance prevents major repairs, extends engine life, and maintains high resale value—don't wait for a breakdown to regret it. Investing a little in upkeep saves fuel and ensures safety in the long run.
