When planning to purchase a car, a person must understand that his expenses will not end at this point. Any vehicle requires constant investment. This includes repair and maintenance work and the acquisition of the required amount of fuel. Most people know about this, but they forget about something else - high consumption oil problems observed on the machine will also lead to additional, very significant costs. Which, moreover, signal that the vehicle is not in perfect condition.

Especially when it comes to cars that are not new or those that have been used by the car owner for a long time for a long time. For example, a person decided to buy himself Ford Focus 2. Should you pay attention to engine oil consumption? You can learn about this by reading our material.

How much oil should a Ford Focus 2 consume?

Really, really interest Ask, which baffles many car owners. The fact is that, for example, information about the official gluttony of a particular power unit in terms of fuel is quite easy to obtain - it is indicated in numerous sources. But what should be the oil consumption for Ford Focus 2, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0?

This question is getting more and more complicated. One car enthusiast shared a story that the employees of one service station told him that it was acceptable to spend 500 grams per 1000 km. They say that this is normal for our country. He asked them to provide evidence by providing some official documents, but the experts just shrugged their shoulders.

Elsewhere they say that already exceeding the norm of 200-300 grams at the same distance indicates the presence of some problems. But, again, confirmation from the words was not found in official sources.

The reason for the lack of such information is trivial - in an ideal car condition, the oil poured into the car’s engine should retain its original volume almost completely - until the time comes to replace it!

Why is overspending a serious problem?

Firstly, this suggests that some elements vehicle are in disrepair or very worn out condition. Yes, the car is still in use, but there is a high probability that soon some kind important node may fail. Therefore, you will need renovation work, which will cause additional damage to the car owner’s budget.

Secondly, do not forget about the economic component. Even if nothing breaks, you should remember that 1 liter of this product costs approximately the same as ten liters of fuel. And now you can take and calculate how much additional you have to spend, say, monthly, with enough high level intensity of car use. It will not be such a small amount of money, which, in a different situation, could have been spent completely differently.

Reviews from people who use Ford Focus 2

Ford Focus 2 is the second generation of a compact car, which is extremely popular, primarily in Europe and in our country. This generation was produced from 2004 to 2011, and in 2008 it underwent a significant restyling. Therefore, now find absolutely new Focus 2 is impossible, given the fact that today the manufacturer is already producing the third generation.

This model was at one time offered with the following line of power units:

• Volume – 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 liters;
• Three types – Duratec, Zetec, Split Port;
• Of the three options, the last one is almost impossible to find in our country, since it was intended only for the American market.

There are also options equipped diesel engines, but, again, they were not supplied to our country - the manufacturer preferred to sell such cars in Western Europe, so we will get acquainted with reviews from people who talk about oil consumption specifically for gasoline versions:

1.6 l power unit

This option was available in two variants - 100 and 115 Horse power, although in fact it was the same power unit, only slightly modified by Ti-VCT. How much oil does such a machine usually consume? Let's find out from car enthusiasts:

1. Oleg, Moscow. This is exactly the option I have. Mileage – 130,000 km. Engine power – 115 horses. I fill in semi-synthetic from Shell (10*40). It is practically not wasted - a maximum of 100 grams is used per ten thousand km.
2. Semyon, St. Petersburg. Already covered 90,000 km. I'm pouring Castrol Magnatec 5W30. During operation there were no problems at all - the level is always in the same place.
3. Vladimir, Samara. The mileage is already 140,000. I drive quite actively. Gearbox – mechanics. I use Castrol 5W30 A5 for the engine. There is practically no overspending. Maximum 200-300 grams per 10 thousand.
4. Ignat. Rostov. Of course, I don’t have 1 liter per 1000 km, but I topped up the same amount for two or three thousand. I told a friend and said that this was a problem. I visited him for the weekend. We decided to find the reason for the overspending. It turned out that the problem was the lack of high-quality tightness of the supply hoses, through which dust began to flow into the combustion chamber. They fixed it, cleaned everything, and the consumption immediately disappeared.
5. Peter. Kostroma. After 50 thousand mileage I began to notice that the oil was starting to leak out in significant quantities. First I used Formula 5w30, then I tried Lukoil Armortech Genesis 5W30. The situation has not changed. The cause of this problem turned out to be air filter, which I somehow forgot about, it stopped coping with its task, and dirty air began to flow into the engine. As experts said, this led to wear of parts, which began to consume more oil.
6. Andrey, Petrozavodsk. I also don’t have any problems with this indicator. My baby's mileage is 205 t.km. I only fill with Ford formula 5w30. I change it every ten thousand kilometers, the volume remains approximately the same. Well, maybe a little less.
7. Roman, Tyumen. I clocked almost 130,000 km on the speedometer. I began to notice that the oil began to go away. I first used Comma 5-40, then switched to XADO 5-40. All the same, it takes up to half a liter per 1000 km. I started to figure it out. It turned out that the problem was valve seals. They began to let oil pass through them. I replaced it and everything immediately changed for the better.

Most cars with this power unit has been in use for quite some time. Therefore, it is not surprising that overspending is observed among those car owners who do not closely monitor the condition of some elements of their “iron horse”.

1.8 liter engine

In this version, the manufacturer used a sixteen-valve Duratec-HE, which is considered a very reliable and durable power unit. What do the owners of this option report about oil consumption:

1. Natalya, Sochi. My husband gave it to me. I don't get into the car. He goes and goes. But then my beloved went on vacation and decided to check everything. As a result, he said that with a relatively low mileage (115,000 on the speedometer), my car consumes almost a liter of oil for every 1000 km. So many! I was always flooded Liquid moly at the service station. Could this be the reason? He says no. He decided to dig around; he just had time. It turned out that wear was the cause of the problem. fuel pump. It turns out that it is also lubricated with oil, but the lubricant began to go directly into the combustion chamber, along with the fuel. Replaced, now testing.
2. Fedor, Moscow. My Ford already has 240 thousand miles. I use Lukoil Armotek. I noticed that when replacing it is necessary to add about two more liters. That is, every ten is consumed by such a volume. Enough. I decided to figure it out. Changed the air filter. Seems to have straightened out the situation. Of course, I had to clean the engine additionally, but it was worth it.
3. Boris, St. Petersburg. I took it when the speedometer showed 115,000 mileage. At first I used Lukoil Genesis Armortech 5W-30 - the first fifteen thousand, then I switched to Ford Formula 5W30 – I wound up another twenty. I don’t see any overconsumption - 200 grams per 10,000, I think that’s normal.
4. Vladislav, Perm. I have a manual, I drive quite hard. So far, only 170,000 have been wound. I fill it with Ford Formula. When changing the oil, I noticed that it takes about three liters per 10,000. At the service station they say that 300 grams per thousand is sort of the norm. I didn’t believe it, so I decided to do some digging myself. Discovered whole line places where it simply leaks through the seals. I changed it and the consumption immediately disappeared. That's it!
5. Matvey, Tula. I just changed the seals recently. I covered 250,000 km on Rymax orfeus 5w30. They still leak. I myself have enough experience in this matter, but they understand that they leak for a reason - five hundred grams of oil are lost per 1000 km! I went to see some masters I knew. The cause of the problem turned out to be oil pipes that were clogged. As a result, the system created high blood pressure and seals, even new ones, cannot cope with it. Cleaned - everything is ok!
6. Marina, Orel. My husband takes care of the condition of the car. He constantly looks at something there, checks it, changes it. Therefore, there are no problems with excessive oil consumption at all. I've driven almost a hundred thousand. Every ten thousand service stations fill in Formula 5w30. They say that the original volume remains completely!
7. Konstantin, Kursk. The speedometer shows 175,000 km. I constantly fill it with Lukoil Genesis 5w30. I noticed that on increased speed takes up to 100 grams per 1000 km. If I drive calmly, this does not happen. They say that the entire engine needs to be cleaned, as the lubricant cannot cope with increased loads. But first, check the entire system for leaks and change the air filter. I'll be doing it soon.

The situation is similar. The model is not new; most people have already reeled enough. Naturally, some elements lose their original quality. This leads to a similar problem.

Two-liter engine

For the second generation Focus, the manufacturer decided to change the previously used Zetec-E motor to Duratec-HE, which showed best performance reliability, efficiency and durability. Naturally, in the ideal state of all systems, it should not overuse oil. How things really are:

1. Anton, Volgograd. I travel extremely rarely. After purchasing the Ford Focus 2, I only drove 75,000 miles in the showroom. From the very beginning, I only filled it with castrol 5w30. Before the scheduled maintenance, I add a maximum of 140-150 grams. This works out to 10,000. That is, I think everything is normal with this indicator.
2. Denis, Kislovodsk. I drove 175,000. At first I used Formula 5W-30, after 130 thousand I switched to the same brand, but to 5W-40. In fact, it doesn’t even take ten grams! You just need to take care of the car and everything will be fine.
3. Egor, Moscow. Mileage - 250,000. Filled with Motul 5W-30 913D. Everything was fine. We made capital for the engine. I noticed that it started serious overrun- up to a liter for every 10,000. I decided to figure out what the reason was. I went to another service station and asked to double-check all the work done. It turned out that the previous craftsmen had adjusted the cylinders incorrectly and installed them in such a way that they were somewhat skewed. Eventually, oil scraper rings do not prevent oil from entering the combustion chamber, which was the reason for its overconsumption.
4. Vladimir, Tula. I use Formula 5v40. I drove 185,000. Plus the previous owner almost a hundred more. Overspending began after one, so to speak, “specialist” incorrectly installed piston rings. As a result, the oil began to literally fly away. It's good that I noticed and fixed everything quickly good craftsmen. Otherwise, you would have to pay money for a full engine repair, and this is a completely different amount!
5. Igor, Moscow. I read about overspending and decided to check it myself. Moreover, I have already wound 250,000. I use Rymax orfeus 5w30. Measured it. It turned out that every thousand kilometers eats about 140 grams. That is, a lot. I have already visually determined that the seals are leaking. They have clearly exhausted their resource, and it’s time to change them.
6. Olga, St. Petersburg. 190,000 wound. Of these, only the last 90 are mine. Initially I used Motul Ford specific 913D 5W-30, now I use Lukoil Armortech Genesis 5W30. It takes approximately 300-400 grams for every ten thousand km. In principle, it’s normal, considering that I really like driving at high speeds.
7. Yan, Kaliningrad. The car is many years old. Almost three hundred thousand kilometers have been covered. I had to do a major overhaul once. Unfortunately, I addressed not very good specialists. As a result, they did the honing very poorly. I discovered this precisely because of excessive oil consumption. It simply did not create a protective film between the cylinders and working surfaces! As a result, excessive oil consumption and elevated temperature. I had to go and force everything to be redone.

It is very important to understand when purchasing a Ford Focus 2 that all models available today are not new. Consequently, many components may already have reached the end of their useful life. And this is one of the reasons for excessive oil consumption. In addition, it is excessive consumption that can serve as a kind of signal that the car system is clearly not in ideal condition, there is an increased likelihood of serious breakdown, so the cause of the excess consumption should be promptly sought.

Malfunctions and repairs of the Duratec 1.6 engine

Engine Ford Focus Duratec 1.6 l. produced since 1998, in 2004 it was renamed from Zetec to Duratec, torque increased from 145 Nm to 150 Nm, at the same time the engine was strangled under environmental standard Euro-4 and has undergone other, minor and insignificant changes for the average owner. The motors date back to 1995 and were developed with the help of Japanese company Yamaha. The service life of the Ford Focus 1.6 engine is 250 thousand km according to the plant; according to reports from car enthusiasts, 300-350 thousand go without problems.
It is difficult to note any technical shortcomings engine, the motor is very successful, reliable and not capricious. Its main disadvantage is low power, for example, the most popular and mass car Ford Focus II with such an engine does not drive at all, especially with automatic transmission. In order for the engine to serve for a long time and not create problems for the owner, it must be done every 160 thousand km. Changing the rollers and timing belt will not require a lot of money.
Let's talk about possible malfunctions your Duratek 1.6, like its 1.4 liter brother, the engine can occasionally (!) trip, vibrate, get hot, knock, make noise, etc., these faults are described in the article on.
Focus/Fiesta/Fusion 1.6 100 horsepower is very good and reliable engine, there is a version with adjustable valve timing, but both are for amateurs active driving It’s worth avoiding, for such cases there is an even more reliable and affordable aftermarket 2.0 145 horsepower engine.

Ford Focus engine number

The question often remains unanswered, where is the engine number on the Focus 1.6, but the photo indicates the location with its location.

Engine tuning Ford Focus 1.6 100 hp Duratec

Chip tuning Duratec 1.6

The first thing that comes to the owners' mind is to flash it, in the hope that the car will perform like a 2.5 liter ST. Usually, after the firmware, your 1.6 will produce about 110-115 hp, in practice the increase is quite insignificant and is more of a self-hypnosis nature, while fuel consumption will increase. It’s up to you to decide whether to do it or not, essentially it’s money for nothing,Let's move on to the next point.

Installing a compressor on Duratec 1.6

Just like on the 1.4 liter engine, on the 1.6 you can also install a ready-made kit on the PC-23-1, which is very popular among tuning cans. Operating pressure The compressor is 0.5 bar and its feature is the ability to install it on a standard Duratek motor, without reducing the compression ratio in the shortest possible time (several hours). According to the manufacturer, the increase in power ranges from 30 to 50%; in terms of dynamic performance, the car will be close to those with a Duratec HE 2.0 liter engine. In quiet mode, with periodic accelerations and timely service compressor, the car will not disappoint you. Install a more powerful compressor or turbine at focus 1.6 at standard motor It will end sadly, and with the refinement of the ShPG, the budget increases significantly.

Installation 2.0 l. for 1.6 liter focus

The ideal tuning of a 1.6 liter engine is to replace it with higher power, even greater reliability and service life. At the same time, fuel consumption remains at the same level or increases slightly.

Ford Focus compact car C-class, developed Ford concern in 1998. As of 1999, only 500 thousand Focuses were sold in Russia. The first generation car sold well in other countries. Moreover, the car was produced in Vsevolozhsk, as well as in Michigan (USA) and Saarland (Germany). Ford Focus has become the most common Ford model, and this served as an incentive for further development Focus family. So, in 2001, the first restyling of the model took place, during which changes were made to the light optics and bumpers. There are also configurations with additional equipment and modified power plants. Digital climate control was offered as an option. The first generation car received four stars out of five for safety in the rating Euro NCAP. The crash test was carried out in 1999.

The second generation car debuted in 2004. It was released until 2011. In 2008, restyling took place. The model is based on a modular platform, which was also used to produce other models - Volvo S40, Volvo V50, Volvo C70, Mazda 3, Mazda 5 and Ford Focus C-Max. Despite new platform, Ford suspension Focus 2 was borrowed from its predecessor.

In 2011, the third generation Ford Focus debuted, which was seriously transformed against the backdrop of the second generation Focus. This became possible thanks to the new design concept that the car received from the Iosis Max concept car. The prototype received a “kinetic” design, which became a signature feature production model Focus. Also, the third generation car was the first to receive engines from the EcoBoost family, which are still relevant today. The most powerful of them is a two-liter unit with a capacity of 250 horsepower.

In 2018, sales of the completely new Focus began, which received three body types - five-door hatchback, station wagon and sedan. For the first time in history, the model received an eight-speed automatic transmission. The car has become more spacious and better in terms of handling and comfort. The model acquired a presentable appearance.

Release of compact American car started back in 1998. The model has undergone restyling and major updates several times, and today it is already in its 4th generation. A lot can be said about the comfort and top-end equipment of the Ford Focus, but to fully experience all its advantages, you cannot do without a test drive. It is not surprising that the model is among the TOP 10 best-selling cars in Europe and in 2010 it took an honorable first place in Russia in terms of this indicator. Focus was initially distinguished not only by good technical data, but also by a very affordable price tag, which was in most cases the decisive factor when buying a car.

Second Ford generation Focus 2 debuted in 2004 and was produced until 2011. It was more different from the previous one spacious interior, improved quality of materials and interior design, as well as large dimensions. The new product was developed on the basis of the Ford C1 under the Common Global Technologies program, which involves combining the platforms of all models (the same base is found in the Focus C-Max, Mazda 5 and Volvo C70, S40 and V50 series). In 2008, the car underwent a minor facelift.

Under the hood of the updated Focus 2 were installed gasoline units with volumes from 1.4 to 2.0 liters, as well as one diesel unit at 1.8 liters. Engine power varied from a frankly weak 80 hp. up to an impressive 145 hp. For lovers of adrenaline and drive, a turbo modification RS with 2.5 liters and a power of 300 hp was released. But the most popular on the market are front-wheel drive models from the “golden mean” with volumes of 1.6 (110-115 hp) and 1.8 liters (125 hp). They were equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Read more about the amount of oil that is poured into these units and its types below.

Generation 2 (2004 - 2011)

Engine Ford Focus 1.4 l. Duratec 16V Sigma (Zetec-SE) 85 HP

• How many liters of oil in the engine (total volume): 3.5 liters.

Engine Ford Focus 1.6l. Duratec 16V (Ti VCT) Sigma 100 and 115 HP

• Which engine oil Filled from the factory (original): Synthetic 5W30
• Oil types (by viscosity): 5W-20, 5W-30
• How many liters of oil in the engine (total volume): 3.75 liters.
• Oil consumption per 1000 km: up to 200 ml.
• When to change oil: 7500-15000

After long break We resume stories about the simplest operations in car repair.
Today we have a Ford Focus 2, 2011, 1.6 liter engine, 115 hp, manual transmission, and its standard maintenance.
List of works included in the maintenance:
- changing the engine oil;
- replacing the air filter;
- replacing the cabin filter.
Let's start in order.
Oil dealers use Castrol Magnatec 5W20. At the spare parts store they asked what kind of car this oil was poured into, and when they found out, they said, “so that’s where Castrol puts it.” From which we draw conclusions that such oil is not very widespread. Perhaps that is why it costs almost cheaper at the dealer than in stores.
And when it’s new, it’s a beautiful emerald color. Sorry, there are no photos left.
Photo of the canister:
The oil filter is completely ordinary, original. Number - 1714387:
There is no particular point in looking for a replacement for the original oil filter, since the difference in price will be insignificant. Among the possible advantages - as a rule, non-original goods are often available in many stores, while original spare parts usually you have to carry it. We are, of course, not talking about shops specializing in Fords.
The procedure for draining the oil is no different - take the key number 13 and turn it off drain plug in the pallet. Next we look for where it is oil filter, and we understand that he is still not in the most convenient place.
There is nothing stopping you from screwing it on, but when dismantling it, it’s a bit cramped to get in there with a puller:
Here is the new one already installed:
At this point we finished with the oil (in fact, of course, we also wiped it, replaced the crankcase protection and filled in new oil). Lyrical digression. After a lengthy replacement job drive shaft for Peugeot 206, each new front wheel drive car arouses interest in the topic “how is the right one installed there? drive shaft
"The Focus was no exception. So, it is also installed with an intermediate bearing. But what’s nice is that the intermediate bearing is not in the engine mount, like on a Peugeot, and is not hidden from auto mechanics, but right at hand - as they say, Unscrew two bolts:
Let's move on to the air filter. New, original, it has number 1848220, costs about 1000 rubles and looks like this:
If you look closely, you can see the MAHLE logo:
And the replacement from MAHLE, issued through catalogues, already costs 500 rubles, which, in general, is a trifle, but nice. Under the hood, the air filter lives on the left (in the direction of travel), its cover is attached with four self-tapping screws under the head at 7. We managed to fix it already with with the lid removed
(the lid itself lies a little to the right and mimics the environment):
At each maintenance, dealers change something that is called an “additional filter element” in the order and has the number 1694449. Catalogs say that this part is called a “filter crankcase gases"and costs 100-150 rubles (only the original). Life experience says that this is called “a piece of foam rubber that has been assigned an exorbitant price tag”:
One way or another, this particular piece of foam rubber was nestled in the corner of the air filter cavity. Here he is:
And here's what it all looks like if you take it off. Judging by the wet-oily surface, it really is not superfluous:
After this, we put the new air filter in place and screw on the cover.
It's time for what the Ford Focus 2 is famous for - the cabin filter.
They didn’t take the original one (just in case, its number is 1354953, but the price is over 1000 rubles). Catalogs provide a bunch of substitutes. We chose Denso DCF348K, also carbon, but costing half as much:
Interestingly, there is not a word about Fords on the packaging at all. Judging by the sticker, an elite filter was purchased, suitable only for Mercedes:
The episode with dismantling the old cabin filter was cut out by censors, because, despite the fact that it essentially boils down to unscrewing three nuts (to remove the gas pedal) and three screws (to remove the filter cover), this has to be done in an unnatural position and on outstretched arms. In addition, the tightness of the surgical field does not facilitate convenient unscrewing of the mentioned hardware. After removing the old filter, it is also discovered that the brake pedal also interferes, but much less, and in principle, having spatial imagination, you only need 5 minutes to try to push new filter as intended. Yes, of course, before installation, the old (original) and new (Denso) filters were carefully examined to ensure that all sizes matched. The numbers on the old filter, if anyone suddenly needs it for some reason:
At this point the maintenance is completed and the owner is sent to roll service interval on a serviced car.
The report is also finished. There are plans for a short material about cabin filters and features of their installation.

Tags: How much oil should be poured into the Ford Focus 2 1.6 engine

Attention, this is not an advertisement for oil, but my personal observations, I think if you change the oil even of a different brand, but what...
