How often should you get an oil change?

• Follow the owner’s manual for exact intervals; many modern turbocharged engines favor synthetic oil and interval guidance from Ford—typically every 5,000–7,500 miles under normal driving, sooner under severe conditions.
• Severe conditions (frequent short trips, high-load driving, towing or heavy city traffic) may require more frequent changes to protect the turbocharger and engine internals.
• Regular dealer inspections during oil changes identify early signs of wear, saving money and preventing larger repairs later.
• Maintaining scheduled oil changes at a certified dealership helps preserve any remaining warranty—warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealer.

What type of oil does a 2013 Ford Focus take?

• The 2013 Ford Focus with the 2.0L turbocharged engine is best serviced with full synthetic motor oil that meets Ford specifications to protect the turbo and high-performance internals.
• Synthetic oil maintains viscosity and thermal stability at high rpm and under turbocharger heat, which helps sustain horsepower and torque delivery.
• Our dealership uses OEM-approved oils and filters; using the recommended oil preserves engine performance, fuel economy and warranty coverage.
• Always confirm the exact oil specification and viscosity in your owner’s manual or with our service advisors to ensure correct service for your vehicle.

How much oil does a 2013 Ford Focus need?

• Oil capacity varies with engine and filter design; many 2.0L turbo engines require roughly 5–6 quarts—always confirm the exact capacity in the owner’s manual.
• Our technicians measure and fill to factory specifications, ensuring correct oil level for turbo protection and optimal lubrication.
• Using the right quantity and type of oil at Coggin Ford Jacksonville reduces the risk of underfill or overfill, both of which can harm the turbo and engine.
• If work is warranty-related, repairs and service must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage and ensure parts and service meet factory standards.
