The 2013 Ford Focus has three different 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engines available in various configurations, which makes it a bit tricky to figure out the right oil type and quantity for your specific model. The 2.0L regular gasoline engine and the 2.0L FlexFuel engine both need 4.5 quarts of synthetic SAE 5W-20 motor oil, but you can temporarily use SAE 5W-30 as an alternative. On the other hand, the turbocharged 2.0T 4-cylinder engine requires 5.7 quarts of SAE 5W-30 oil, although SAE 5W-40 can be used as a substitute. It's not recommended to switch to a different oil type as using a heavier weight oil can increase friction, leading to premature engine wear and potential failure. To ensure a healthy engine in the long run, stick to the manufacturer's recommended oil with the lowest viscosity rating.
