The 2012 Ford Focus is equipped with a timing chain. It is recommended to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles. The air filter should be changed between 15,000 to 30,000 miles. For the spark plugs, they typically last up to 100,000 miles unless they are copper ones, which need replacement every 30,000 miles. Various engine issues may arise, such as loose gaskets that should be tightened, loose spark plugs causing problems, as well as oil leaks that require immediate attention. Excessive oil consumption may necessitate changing the oil sooner than expected. One critical issue to watch out for is engine overheating, as this can potentially lead to fires and even explosions in the car.
