Changing your oil can seem tricky the first time, but it gets easier with practice. Here is a look at the best oil type for the 2016 Ford Focus.
When it comes to the
2016 Ford Focus
, you should go with 5W-20 synthetic motor oil. 5.7 quartz of this type of motor oil will allow
your engine
to stay both cool and lubricated no matter the time of year.
Some advantages of changing your oil include:
  • Saving money: Having your oil changed by a mechanic can cost around $50 to $75.
  • Getting the job done when you need it: You’ll have to make an appointment if you want to get your oil changed by a mechanic. If you do it yourself you can do it as soon as you have the supplies.
  • Learning a new skill: Once you’ve changed your oil a few times, you’ll be ready to show other people the ropes.
How often you need to change your oil will depend on how frequently you drive your Ford Focus. Some experts recommend changing it for every 3000 miles you drive, although others will claim you should do so more or less frequently.
Now that you’ve got your car’s oil changed, it’s time to start thinking about your coverage. If you’re willing to take a minute and sign up with the
