The 2011 Ford Focus requires 4.5 quarts of SAE 5W-20 motor oil. It is recommended by Ford to use synthetic oil during oil changes for improved wear protection. There are two main types of oil: conventional, made from petroleum, and synthetic, engineered in a lab to provide better engine component protection. Conventional oil should be changed every 3,500 to 5,000 miles, while full synthetic only needs changing every 7,500 miles. Checking the oil levels in your car monthly is advised to ensure it remains at the proper level. It is also wise to inspect for any signs of metal or burning in the engine.
The amount of engine oil needed for the 2001 Ford Focus Zetec is 4.25 liters (equivalent to 4.5 quarts), while the 2001 Ford Focus SPI requires 3.78 liters (or 3.78 quarts). Ford suggests using Motorcraft SAE5W-20 Super Premium Motor Oil for both models.
