My annual service is due soon and i plan on doing it myself to save some £££

 

Am i right is saying the 1.6 engine on the mk2 focus doesn't have a changeable oil filter like most other cars?

If it's the 1.6 petrol then you're correct, (technically it has a mesh filter near the fuel tank but it's rated as a lifetime part and isn't a service item).

Thought that was the case.

 

Thanks for confirming. :)

Just to clarify, it's the fuel filter that is not changeable. The oil filter is a normal replaceable spin-on type.

That makes more sense.

I've had a lot of people tell me that there is no changeable oil filter which sounded strange to me.

Thanks for the clarification.

If it's a 1.6 petrol it's at the front, I'd also use a six sided socket on the 13mm sump plug that Ford seem to be still using.

Concur, imperative to use a six sided socket, Ford plugs have a nasty habit of rounding on the edges.

To be honest I 100% read the initial post from the Op as "fuel filter", probably on the basis that no car engine could have a "Lifetime" oil filter.
