For a 2005 Ford Focus, it's best to use 5W-20 Synthetic oil, which is recommended for all temperatures. The car takes about 4.5 quarts of oil with a filter, and the drain plug should be torqued to 21 ft/lbs. Synthetic oil is preferred over conventional because it has fewer impurities. Changing the oil every 7,500 miles is important to keep the engine clean and running smoothly. The cost for an oil change typically ranges from $20 to $30 in labor. If you prefer to do it yourself, you'll need tools like an oil filter wrench, 5/8-inch socket, ratchet, floor jack, and jack stands.
