Ford 1.8 TDCi Oil Change Essentials
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 дек 2017
- I get lots of questions about this so here's a video on all you need to know about changing your oil on the Ford Duratorq 1.8 TDCi Focus, Mondeo or Transit Connect.
As always I prefer Mann filters and Morris oil although I'm not sponsored by either (sadly).
Here's the Mann filter:
catalog.mann-filter.com/AR/en...
The Wix filter:

Morris Ford Spec Oil:

This is how I change the oil on these cars, use this information with reference to the Ford service manual and advice from your professional mechanic.

Very complete video Jonathan showing it all for anyone having this car that will know what to do. Oh, and I bet you like Mann filters :) :) Excellent work!
Thanks Terry, I get this question a lot so just had to make a video. I LOVE Mann filters. Cheers!
great video buddy have a great new year and looking forward to more videos
+Paul Mayou cheers mate, have a great New Year
Good demo mate 👌 very helpful thanks 👍
It amazes me how rust free the underside of the car is compared to mine. Living in Scotland we get a LOT of rain so every nook and cranny is covered in rust lol. 😒
Anyway good job mate, thanks again 👌
we get plenty of rain and we live about 5 minutes from the sea. We just put salt on the roads in winter. Cheers mate!
The vast majority just look at the weight class of the oil and never go by the manufactures specs. I have seen so many people using the wrong oil because of this. Good of you to mention.
+STEVE ROB REVIEWS especially important here if you've still got the wet belt setup. The wrong oil is one of the reasons they can fail. Cheers buddy
We have three Fords using 5w/30 oil so I buy it in 20 litre amounts and that saves a lot of money, 5 litres is "free". I always use Ford Formula F and genuine Ford filters from a trade seller on eBay. Oil changes at 6000 miles UK.
Anyone watching this video should have zero questions. You covered it well. Here we are in 2018, are you ready? :)
+wyattoneable here's to 2018, it should be a great one 😀 cheers Wyatt
I use mann filters almost exclusively these days. Morris oil seems like good stuff. For a start they have a place just down the road from me in Shrewsbury. I've been running quite a few vehicles on their stuff and am even considering switching over to their stuff for my own vehicle from Castrol.
I always try and get Mann whenever possible although sometimes it's hard over here. Morris is great stuff and the NZ distributor is 10 minutes down the road from me. Buying direct makes it cheaper than the big brand alternatives.
Little tip. Put a rag over the aluminium bracket (think its the steering rack) beneath the oil filter, the bracket is recessed on the top and will fill up with oil. This oil will drip on the floor over the period of a few days. This looks like the filter is leaking. So u go back under and give the filter another little tweek. This is the last thing u want to do given the pain in the ass job it can be getting these filters off.
One grunt is equal to 18ft pounds ☺ Good video ! Happy New Year !!
+N Smith maybe I need to recalibrate my grunts 🤣 Cheers and Happy New Year!
Not all heroes wear capes 🙌
Hahaha, this was far more enjoyable than it should have been!
Just a tip for ya... Can't see the lube when you dip your stick? Wipe it off, dip it again, pull it out, wrap it in a paper towel and give it a good squeeze around the tip. Wherever the level is on the stick, will leave a stain on the paper towel in the same spot. Just don't get too excited and slide up or down the dipstick! Gotta keep everything steady~ :D
+rhkips it's hard to make oil change vids interesting so had to have a laugh or two along the way 🤣
That's a great tip, it's always a mission on that car when the oil is new and before all the diesel blackness has happened. I know that if I drop 5 and a bit litres in it will be fine.
The oil is cleaner than usual after a change but you'll have to wait until next week's video to find out why 😉
Have a great New Year my friend
Haha, having fun is always a good thing!
I have a feeling I know why the oil is cleaner than usual, but I'll keep shooshed~ ;)
So you like the D, and prefer Mann? :D
Nice video. Funny and informative. Made me laugh a few times
Haha thanks. It's hard to make some of this stuff interesting so might as well try and be funny
Hello Badgertronix, how is it goin'? Fantastic video - I'm from Italy and I just changed oil in my Ford Focus 1.8 TDci common rail, 115 Hp, construction year 2009, 91000 km - I don't know whether It's exactly the same motor version as yours or not.
Anyway I have a simple question but could be crucial: may it be a problem if the oil level is some millimeters over the max ? thank you for letting me your time
Bye
Franz
do you not need to replace the washer behind the sump plug ?
dear, what type of gasket of plug casing? copper ? total rubber ? or steel gasket with rubber in middle ?
Great vid.
ACEA A1/B1, none of that pricey low SAPS stuff :D
I found that the full 5 was enough with what little bit stays in.
+darkwaterblue cheers! The Morris works out for me as it goes in my Mondeo 2.0tdci too. I'd get confused with having more than one oil on the shelf 🤣
5 and a splash dues it for me
hi great video helped me no end, i see in your comments you blocked up the egr on that car, can i ask did you map it out or did the car just accept the change without doing the limp mode shuffle? thanks
No need to map it out on the 1.8, it doesn't throw a code. Cheers
Do you not need to fill the oilfilter with oil before you put it back. Thankyou
Hello... okay... Mann... ;-) you like it?? Aaand a lot for me to learn... :-)
Still cant see where the oil should come up to on the dipstick
Hi Badger, thanks for the video. Do you use ebay to purchase your MANN filters, or somewhere else? - Also, do you know of any north island suppliers that sell that oil? Thanks
Hi Caleb. I get the filters from Micksgarage.com. Shipping is $30 so I make sure I buy enough stuff to make it worthwhile. You can buy the oil direct from oildistributors.co.nz or Penrite full synthetic 5w-30 is also the right Ford spec and you can get that from super cheap. Cheers
Does your engine sound like a clattering mess? Mine sounds like that, especially when could. I was told that these engines are quite noisy... Also the turbo has a pronounced "windy/vacuumy" noise. Any thoughts/advice? Thanks
It's an ancient engine design which will add to the clattering mess when cold
@@Badgertronix So no need to worry, just get used to the "tractor vibe" :). Much love, greetings all the way from Romania
Yes I heard you love Mann I also heard you like parking in a car park and flashing your headlights don't know how that will service your car there or maybe it's not your car you're looking to be serviced
Yeah while listening to Manfred Mann.
+bodgit and leggit garage I'll take any service I can get. It all helps to maintain value 😎
How you get the engine oil in nz and what would you think about useing engine oil and filter from repco
www.oildistributors.co.nz
The correct Ford spec oil can also be bought from Supercheap
9:41 Rob will not be happy hahaha
+bodgit and leggit garage haha that's exactly what I was going for
No one is as quick as Rob!
He might have to send the boys round. 😂
Hey...Thats my Gig!!
Can you tell me why my focus 1.8tdci is using a lot of diesel still after full service ,all filters and oil change etc,no other issues with engine,? ( I've also tried driving slower than normal)
What fuel economy are you getting and what kind of driving do you do?
Ok I've only had the car a couple of weeks ,I'm driving on average 230 kilometers per day (143 miles). According to the fuel gage €20 is giving me a reading of 330kilometers,,which isn't correct .Is it possible my fuel gage reading is faulty or another factor I've considered that I have wrong tyres on the vehicle, size 205 (55) ,
I am considering buying a CMax with this engine. Would you recommend it? Anything to look out for? Thanks
David K fuel injectors egr dpf rest is bulletproof
secret guy pretty sure the 1.8tdci was never produced with a dpf
Thanks for reminding me. lol
+buzzsah no problem. Thanks for watching!
*Меняю нижний ремень ГРМ на цепь на этом дизеле пишите*
I want to ask you if I can put 10w40 castrol because I live in a rather hot area
I'm sure there is a Ford spec 10w-40 that would be suitable
Love the 'D' with a slightly bigger Mann?
+One Auto, whatever floats your boat Rob 😂
Please re-read noting the question mark at the end 😂
+One Auto, haha I read what I wanted to read and made my own conclusions #fakenews
😂😂
He prefers man
Good oil first, then half litre of the old stuff! lol
HAVE YOU PUT A ECG BLANKING PLATE ON YOUR 1.8TDCI MK2 FOCUS..CHEERS FROM Ray...
I have. Best thing I ever did, car drives much better. Cheers!
Thanks i have 2006 1.8tdci just had it 6months goes great and the boost is good,i will have to have a look to see if its been done,do you have to take trim and wipers off to see if has been done...best regards..
I have the MK2.5 not the MK2 like yours so this could be slightly different. You can see it without removing anything and you should be able to see if there's a plate in there.
Right thanks been watching all your videos(top class)and the one where you change front struts and take wipers off and trim is the same as mine,also engine 1.8tdci and fuel filter is the same(what a job getting engine to start after changing that)i think 2.5 is mostly body and headlights different,Ill have a good look in the morning,very cold here they say snow tomorrow,i live next to Durham city in the north east of England best regards Ray...
Manfred Mann Sounds good.
One grunt? Don't ya mean click?
That oil filter should be the other way around. That way ya can fill it befour4 ya install it.
Okay I gotta question. In the beginning ya say ya knead 5.6 liters of earl and at the end ya say ya put in 5.2 liters, why the discrepancy?
Good vid btw.
+MostlymoparIH ah the mighty Quinn
Only starts to click when you get old.
The manual says 5.6, I probably had a generous 5.2 which would be closer to 5.4. Hard to get every last drop out
Good to the last drop. Wait a minute that's coffee isn't it?
Oh well then better make it black, Maxwell oops I mean Badger.
My torque wrench clicks when it reaches the correct torque setting doesn't your's? So when I use my muscle setting to know the torque is correct why not just say click? See Jeff Bradshaw at Elderly Iron he does it all the thyme,
Lol we all love the d d hahaha
+bodgit and leggit garage ain't that the truth 🤣
Im guessing this is the same process for the mondeo mk4 1.8 tdci its the same engine
Correct
Thx im clueless when it comes to cars i can build a house but never touch cars only just found out i dont have spark plugs so i need to get stuck in
Cars and houses are pretty similar. The bigger the problem the bigger the hammer needed to fix it
I have Ford mondeo 2008 in dubai engine oil is 7 L why?
Sounds like DPF problems. Google it
Damn you really stabbing that dipstick into engine
Where is oil filter exactly located? Can someone help me please'''
Back of the engine on the side with the drive belts. You can't miss it
My elderly Dad swares by Morris or Ford oil.
I always buy quality filters and oil that is a tough spot for that oil filter.
+T.O.A.G it's annoying how the drain plug and the filter are on the back side of the engine. Fine if you have a hoist, a pain if you're on the floor. Cheers!
why use the 5w30 instead of 5w40
Because Ford specify 5w-30...
Yes I know well but w30 protects way to hot than w40. I own a Ford Mondéo sw engine tdci125ch year 2008. do you think I risk something?@@Badgertronix
Depends on your climate. 5w-40 should be fine as long as it is the Ford spec.
I used only the Ford Formula Motoroil 😀
We don't get that here
@@Badgertronix sorry I'm forget😊...Hungary is different 😊😊
That's a lot of talk about mann / reference to mann... and what's with the D? Midlife crisis?? LOL
I knew I shouldn't have outsourced the editing to Leon :)
A 1.8 diesel ???
Correct
I thought they only came in odd numbers. Lesson learnt
Have you put a blank plate in your egr ?
+David Bates a long time ago. Best thing you can do to a 1.8
Badgertronix yes I did my tdci but it leaked into the car when the blower was on I've taken out for now I need to make a gasket do you think a paper one will do the job as it gets hot ? Thanks for the vids they are very helpful
I just used high temp gasket maker and it was fine. The original gasket is metal so paper probably wouldn't be great. Thanks for watching!
Mann just in case u for get lol
One day they will wise up and put the filter where the drain plug is and kill both birds with one mess.
+txsviking that would be handy although this engine first came out in 1984 so we can cut them some slack on this automotive antique 🤣
Don't use -B oil! That's for petrol engines!
+Jack Hewison hmm no, -B is just a previous revision to the current standard. No DPF on the 1.8, you only have to be fussy because of the wet belt.
You've been watching too many Carry On films
+bodgit and leggit garage Carry On Oil Leak?
Badgertronix hahahah
