[@anthonymurray7295]

Fantastic video. Just finished my oil change and I dont think I would have managed without your video. Saved me some money doing it myself. Thanks again.

[@EducationPineapple]

There's many little jobs like that we can all do more of on our cars.

[@christophlenz8102]

just did it today according to your video. Thank you for the information. just one thing. I used a shorter 27mm socket to remove the oil filter and did not have to remove the air filter box.

[@EducationPineapple]

Excellent!

[@paulwest5742]

top tip use a measuring jug when refill so much easier also when oil draining remove air filter box

[@gladyssellar6408]

absolutely Brillant video mate, thank you

Euro always give the wrong parts and spec oil, nice vid 👍

I tend to use local motor factor companies, keep it local and money back into your own town or city, usually way more knowledge too

[@andygoodwin8350]

I'm going to have to check the filter on mine. When I put the new one in I pushed it into the cap first then back into the engine. Didn't realise there was a place for the notch on the filter to lock into, I thought it was a spacer of some sort. I thought if it was not located properly I wouldn't have been able to screw the cap back in fully?

[@romeountu4640]

Many thanks for the video! 😁👍

[@techman9894]

Nice hands on video. Thanks.

[@LaurenceGough]

Thanks for the video, I mainly watched it for the socket sizes, ford don't make it easy to get to the oil filter! PS when checking the oil I believe you are meant to push the dipstick in all the way?

[@davidrigby1837]

Great info upload i am doing my first focus this weekend. Did you ever change the fuel filter on your diesil

[@EducationPineapple]

Yes I went to remove the whole lot to get to the starter motor, however I didn't change the filter element. You can see how if you watch the starter motor job.

[@vijayam1]

Wonderful log, those oil remnants near the turbo intake side, is that normal?

[@EducationPineapple]

That is normal, as some oil needs to lubricate the turbo shaft. It comes from a pipe directed from the middle of the engine.

[@vijayam1]

У меня Форд с таким же двигателем. После длительной стоянки при запуске лампочка давления мала горит 3-4секунды, это норма или неисправность?

VERY VERY GOOD

Hi, Interesting video. These days I should with my brother in law first time to change oil on FF 1.6TDCi year 2011. My question is it possibile to mix Ow30 and 5w30? Because I have rest oil in three cans so would like to use it all. And how many liters should to fill up? I can use stick for oil level measurement and fill up to above half for example? Thank You for an Answer in advance! 😊

[@EducationPineapple]

Absolutely you can mix oils. Check with your owner's manual. It will say 0w 30 and also 5w 30. Use the dip stick to check. I usually fill it up to the upper Mark on the stick with the car on level ground. I would say you need about 4.5 litres for a 1.6

[@alan01256]

Great video but you should change the oil filter before draining the oil from the sump. The reason is the oil filter housing is full of oil & when you undo the filter housing the oil in it falls back into the sump. If you do the filter first all the old oil is drained out.

[@EducationPineapple]

Ok, thanks

[@LaurenceGough]

Old comment reply but I think as long as you keep the sump bolt out you can change the oil filter still, same effect right? I wish there was a way to preoil the filter path before engine startup.

[@tttl]

Great video! Thanks.

[@Shaman0885]

When you plan to make a video about fuel filter change on this car ? Please let me know because I want to try it on my car. Cheers

[@EducationPineapple]

Make sure you don't do that one on the Focus until somebody like me tries it because there's no obvious way to pump the pressure in the system like the hand pump available in some other cars.

[@EducationPineapple]

I've done a fuel filter removal (filter not changed but shown how) for this car see the link here kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2qup4BjiZetrtk

[@nothingmuch.3014]

@@EducationPineapple I presume after you change the filter, you turn the ignition on & off 10 or so times to prime the filter. Can leave one fuel line off (filter to engine) and turn the key until fuel comes out of the filter, then reconnect the line, but usually don't have to do this with most cars. When started i hold the throttle on for a few seconds so the engine doesn't stall from air locks in the lines

[@yanan3681]

5w 30 is better oil IMHO. The 0w 30 oil is used just to bring immisions down below 100g of co2 for the free road tax.

[@LaurenceGough]

Thin oil is better for getting to all areas too especially on startup, and better for mpg. Lubricity shouldn't be impacted overall I'd say? Also it's nice to have better mpg.

[@RobertoVonHoop]

Will triple qx 15w-40 oild be okay?

[@EducationPineapple]

Please refer to your owner's manual for your specific car...if you own the same car as me, you MUST NOT use 15w 40 oil for your Ford 1.5 TDCI...the correct oil will be something like 0w-30 A5/B5, or 5w-30 A5/B5...

[@alexvoicu9405]

@@EducationPineapple what do you recomend, 5w30 or 0w30 ?

[@EducationPineapple]

So many shit garages out there. I have in the last had -the wrong oil used -the filter not even changed (i checked as I had suspected this garage) -the oil under filled Diy is best

[@ahah1785]

jesus take apart half the car to change the damn filter... suddenly i feel grateful for my mercedes 300d...

[@moesnorskefolkeeventyr7408]

Painful

[@rimad6882]

You jacked up only the front part. Are you sure this is OK, because drain hole is under the carter, not on the rear. In some car, drain holes are slightly back, so when you jack up only the front wheels, all fluid comes out.
