We have three Fords using 5w/30 oil so I buy it in 20 litre amounts and that saves a lot of money, 5 litres is "free". I always use Ford Formula F and genuine Ford filters from a trade seller on eBay. Oil changes at 6000 miles UK.

The vast majority just look at the weight class of the oil and never go by the manufactures specs. I have seen so many people using the wrong oil because of this. Good of you to mention.

Hello Badgertronix, how is it goin'? Fantastic video - I'm from Italy and I just changed oil in my Ford Focus 1.8 TDci common rail, 115 Hp, construction year 2009, 91000 km - I don't know whether It's exactly the same motor version as yours or not. Anyway I have a simple question but could be crucial: may it be a problem if the oil level is some millimeters over the max ? thank you for letting me your time Bye Franz

dear, what type of gasket of plug casing? copper ? total rubber ? or steel gasket with rubber in middle ?

do you not need to replace the washer behind the sump plug ?

I use mann filters almost exclusively these days. Morris oil seems like good stuff. For a start they have a place just down the road from me in Shrewsbury. I've been running quite a few vehicles on their stuff and am even considering switching over to their stuff for my own vehicle from Castrol.

@Badgertronix

I always try and get Mann whenever possible although sometimes it's hard over here. Morris is great stuff and the NZ distributor is 10 minutes down the road from me. Buying direct makes it cheaper than the big brand alternatives.

Do you not need to fill the oilfilter with oil before you put it back. Thankyou

Little tip. Put a rag over the aluminium bracket (think its the steering rack) beneath the oil filter, the bracket is recessed on the top and will fill up with oil. This oil will drip on the floor over the period of a few days. This looks like the filter is leaking. So u go back under and give the filter another little tweek. This is the last thing u want to do given the pain in the ass job it can be getting these filters off.

hi great video helped me no end, i see in your comments you blocked up the egr on that car, can i ask did you map it out or did the car just accept the change without doing the limp mode shuffle? thanks

Hi Caleb. I get the filters from Micksgarage.com. Shipping is $30 so I make sure I buy enough stuff to make it worthwhile. You can buy the oil direct from oildistributors.co.nz or Penrite full synthetic 5w-30 is also the right Ford spec and you can get that from super cheap. Cheers

Still cant see where the oil should come up to on the dipstick

Hahaha, this was far more enjoyable than it should have been! Just a tip for ya... Can't see the lube when you dip your stick? Wipe it off, dip it again, pull it out, wrap it in a paper towel and give it a good squeeze around the tip. Wherever the level is on the stick, will leave a stain on the paper towel in the same spot. Just don't get too excited and slide up or down the dipstick! Gotta keep everything steady~ :D

+rhkips it's hard to make oil change vids interesting so had to have a laugh or two along the way 🤣 That's a great tip, it's always a mission on that car when the oil is new and before all the diesel blackness has happened. I know that if I drop 5 and a bit litres in it will be fine. The oil is cleaner than usual after a change but you'll have to wait until next week's video to find out why 😉 Have a great New Year my friend
