FatHead1979 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 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). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clarify, it's the fuel filter that is not changeable. The oil filter is a normal replaceable spin-on type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

kingsblue Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concur, imperative to use a six sided socket, Ford plugs have a nasty habit of rounding on the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
