Incredibly well explained. Based on your videos I’m getting ready to do my first oil change ever by myself. It may be quite simple, but it’s a first for me. And it’s in my ST. So I hope it doesn’t go wrong! Not that it can… it’s so simple… the equipment I needed to do it cost the same as paying someone else to do it for me. Never paying anyone to change my oil again!
Same for me! Rather liberating lol
Extremely helpful and clear guidance ensuing a drama free oil change. Thank you 👍
Thanks for a straight forward video explaining everything perfectly for a newbie 😊
Love your videos man, after 2 years , your video still helping people, thank you!
I love to watch all your videos because you always explain things clearly. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you like them!
Great video, very easy to understand and helpful
Cheers for the explainer mate. Doing my Focus next week!
Love listening to your instructions with your English accent! :) So easy!
Thanks Melissa, glad to help
Very clear and helpful video. Thank you
Came across your very helpful and well filmed video today as I am about to change the oil on my sisters 1.0 ltr. Cheers for very useful bit of information.
Glad it helped
Great simple how to video. Thanks 👌
Awesome! Really really helpful! I have a Ford puma ecoboost and the engine is the same! Thanks a lot!!
You're welcome Davide!
Glad to say, your video helped me to do my first oil change. Factory oil out, Castrol in. Oil temperature has dropped 6 degrees & engine feels smoother. Puma ST. If you ever feel like doing a video on changing & flushing the coolant, please do. Nobody has done one yet. 😉👍
The coolant won't need changed til the car is 10 years old!
Mate top man
Thanks for the help
I really like your top tip of flushing the old engine oil out with a quarter of a litre of fresh oil.
Nice vid
well explained sir
Great explanation, what ramps are you using?
Very clear video, Did my son's several months ago (2020 Fiesta ST3). It actually takes 6.08L of 5W20 oil, confirmed by Ford. Yes it is a lot and I couldn't believe it either for a 1.5L engine. You can also use a 76mm 14 flute oil filter cup wrench to remove the oil filter. Yes it is tight against the radiator but if you put the cup wrench on the filter first and then insert your 3/8 drive afterwards it can be done. We rented a ramp for an hour as getting under a ST3 low suspension isn't easy. Ford only sell the whole sump plug and washer together, which in my opinion is a waste of a sump plug. Go figure why they would do that!! Overall its an easy procedure and very satisfying to do it yourself.
Couldn’t agree more Carl. I use exactly the same tools and oil quantity that you quote.
I’m not sure when the larger capacity sump was introduced, but my mid 2019 model year ST3 certainly has it
@@stevelewis7207 On the 25th of February 2019, a new engine variant has been introduced in production, in which the balance shaft has been relocated from the oil pan to the engine block. As a side effect, the engine oil capacity has changed due to construction conditions.
The old engine generation (K1BG-6007-CA) with the balance shaft in the oil pan (which also has a damping cover around the oil pan) gets 4.75l of oil and has a longer oil dipstick (approx. 51cm).
The newer engine generations (K1BG-6007-DA/EA/..) with the balance shaft in the block (which has no damping cover around the oil pan) gets 6.1l of oil and has a shorter oil dipstick (approx. 48,5cm).
The date for the change of the engine block in production was 25.02.2019.
@@davymaekelberg Kudos to you Davy. That’s something I reckon very few people know.
I first test drove a Mk8 Fiesta ST in July 2018, literally days after they came out.
Despite grinning from ear to ear for the whole 20 odd mile solo drive (on quick B roads), I decided against ordering one.
This was because I felt the engine lacked refinement, compared to my own car at the time - a Suzuki Swift Sport.
This was most noticeable around 4000 to 5000 revs.
Fast forward two years to May 2020 and I test drove another one.
The engines were like chalk and cheese; so much sweeter.
I immediately put my deposit down !
I can only speculate, but PERHAPS Ford also thought the early engines lacked refinement and hence the redesign… ?
Two years on from taking delivery, and I’m certainly very very pleased with mine in almost all respects.
Thanks again Davy. 👍
Thanks for telling us about the 6.08 l.
I bought 5l because I thought 4.75l was going into the motor.
Perfectly explained the job of an oil change oft the Ecoboost engine in the Mk8. I always change the oil on my 125hp Fiesta with the exact Castrol type of oil mentioned in the manual long before it is due to be changed because of the timing belt in the engine‘s oil and I don‘t trust any cheap workshop when it comes to use the proper oil for the Ecoboost.
Yer i use castrol magnatec 5w 20 stop-start on my 2018 focus , i wont use cheap oil not even on old cars such as my wife 2006 mini i use castrol on that to , on my old mark 2 focus i use to use shell helix ultra.
Nice video! I own a MK4 focus 1.5 with largely the same powertrain, do you know how to change the gear oil in the manual box? I'd imagine it's the same as on a fiesta ST :)
Is it going to be the same to the cmax ecoboost?
Thanks for the really useful video
So i got a 1 litre , 2018 mark 4 focus the oil fliter is at the front , just about to do the oil change been working on my wife mini for last couple off weeks , time now to give my car a bit TLC.
Thanks
and thank you too
Thanks, did the flush (good tip). My car is 2016 C-Max 1.0. after draining warm engine for 15 mins, I took off the filter. Wasn't ready for the thing emptying old oil onto my clothes, hair and face. Just missed my mouth!
Next time I won't be under it and will pack the area with a rag😁
Two of the eight plastic undertray inserts were stripped, someone probably over-tightened them in the past.
Every day is a school day 👍
Thanks for your comment, I've a cmax 2018 ecoboost do you think it's going to be the same as the video?
@@MrChilo89 the video shows a 1.5. If yours is a 1.0, then as mentioned the filter is to the rear. Otherwise I think it is much the same.
Great tips thanks. Can I ask how to reset the oil life on this focus now the they have remove this feature on the IPC screen .
Gotcha❗ This is how I know you haven't watched to the end, where I show this.
do you know the frequency of the timing belt?
where did you get your ramps from?
Can anyone provide a link to the genuine ford sump plug for the ST?
Please can u show us how to change spark plugs
Are these reliable have they got any block issues
Excellent vid. For the undertray plastic clips, did you put anything in their place or are the T30 screws enough to hold it? Thank you 👍😉
The T30s were enough. You could put cheap fir trees in though
@@CycloneCyd Or if you don't have fir trees maybe suitable size rawlplugs?
Any idea where you got your ramps from? Looking to purchase some but worries about the angle of some available!
These are the ones I've got amzn.to/3CqAj3G . I chose these because they fit under the side skirts of my [lowered] Saab so I can reverse up them (can't get my Saab on them forwards because of the front apron being so low). I also like that they are yellow rather than black so easy to see them before you try to drive off them the wrong way!!
Good video but why does that oil show VAG?
Later 1.5 st has over 6 lts of oil as they have a deeper sump
Genuine question, is this a VAG engine at all, as I can see you used VAG VW 508 / 509 oil (the green dye/oil bottle gave it away)?
Blimey, you must have eyes like a hawk❗Nah, ECP delivered the wrong bottle, but we used it anyway 'cos of the hassle it would take to change it. Don't worry about it though, most of this 'brand specific' lark is marketing to bring in license income.
Is this the same 1.5 eco boost engine in the bronco sport?
I would imagine so, but I'm not familair with the Bronco
OOPs I thought the plug on the front was for an engine oil change I've drained the gearbox oil from my 1ltr ecoboost engine by mistake. Where would I find the filler plug ?
Ooops! I haven't looked, but typically the filler plug is about half way up on either the front or rear face
@@CycloneCyd Thanks Cyd
Perfect job my friend but only one mistake , the oil you have to use for that car has to be castrol 5w20 ! I am from greece and i love to fix perfect all the cars!
Oil Brand is not important , its the specification thats Important . Oil is oil
Btw castrol oil doesnt mix with others oil so you better keep using castrol if you already do.
@@rin6960 i do but once its drained out , i can add any brand just as long its the correct specification .
@@stevenfoleyuk9404 yeah but you need a second refill and drain to really drain any remaining castrol.
That's what i'd do
@@rin6960thing is you dont , you do it ur way and i do it my way . As long as the Oil is of the same spec the brand name does not Matter .
Is 0w20 the recommended oil for that car? We have a 2019 1.0 EcoBoost and all the oil selectors recommend 5w20.
As far as I'm aware Mann Filters are an OE supplier to Ford factories so that's the filter brand I used for the oil change. Ford, like all other car brands, do not make their own filters.
Quality video by the way. Especially about the oil reset. Thanks!
Good video BUT I wouldn't use that oil. Use Ford Castrol which is tested to the Ford spec. This is especially important in the previous ECOboost which has a wet cambelt. The one time I used that brand of oil in a MK3 Golf the hydraulic tappets were noisy - I swapped it out for a more expensive brand and the noise went. Why skimp on oil?
Only use Ford WSS-M2C 948-B specification oil, especially the 1.0 Litre engine will not tolerate any other oil… Castrol is fine, im using it, too. The liquimoly should be even more pressure-resistant, does anyone have more Information on this?
The filter situation is even worse in the US, your filter seems a little stubbier than what they tell us to use, we get the Motorcraft Fl-910/Wix 51348/Fram 3614 filter which is about 10mm longer than WL7559 you used, the only stubbier filters you can really find in the US are application specific filters meant for lawn mowers. I don't know what Ford was thinking with the filter placement on this, but this isn't the first time they've put a filter in a real stupid place the old 3L OHV V6 "Vulcan" engines had the filter right were it'd run down on the starter and make a mess. Why couldn't they do it well like they did on the old Mazda MZR/Duratec 4 cyclinders where they oil filters is vertical and easily accessible, on my Dad's 2015 Escape(Kuga) with the 2.5 I run the oversized FL400S/Fram 3600 size filter, if the Filter adapter plate was spaced a little further from the block I'd put the huge old school FL1A/Fram 8A size filter on it.
The oil in my 1.5 looks like Coca Cola after 3000km (engine now has 15000km in total) Is this to be expected? Thx
I noticed that in my 1.0ecoboost after a few thousand which has an 18k service interval, but my civic 1.8 oil is still pretty clear after the same miles. I'm just going to change it sooner.
Interesting how you folks in British English refer to the oil drain plug as the "sump plug". And the oil pan as the "sump pan". I love studying languages and hearing the minor differences in British and American (and other countries') English.
Nearly 5 litres for a 1.5? Wft
Don't forget there's a turbo and a cooler. And high boost engines tend to be harder on oil
The newer version of this engine is even getting 6.1 litres with oilfilter, they made some changes in 2020 I guess..
@@danielg6834they should be using less oil with every newer model not more. Guess ford don't care.
@@bigjak7358 It's a sports car, not your average 1.0 Micra.
