Coolant change for my ford focus 05- every 30,000 miles? No owners manual?
Coolant change for my ford focus 05- every 30,000 miles? No owners manual?
100,000 miles is the service interval - call a local ford dealer if you like. Yes, or every five years, whichever comes first. Most coolant is five year/50k miles (whichever comes first) formulations. I wouldn't do the 10 year change because the manufacturers could care less about your car when its out of warranty and bad stuff happens if the coolant goes bad. What matters the most is the current condition of your coolant this video will show you multiple ways to test the coolant and determine if its time for a coolant flush.
I bet if you google "focus 2005 preventative maintenance schedule" you'll strike gold. Figuratively speaking. Buy a manual for your vehicle. Ebay has every one ever made, and it shouldn't cost more than a few dollars. That way you won't have to guess or ask strangers about important maintenance issues. If the coolant is still it's original color and not brownish looking I'd go up to 60,000 miles or every 3 years. The antifreeze can become acidic and start eating intake manifolds and the insides of the radiator and heater core. Also depends on where you are. If you're where EVERYTHING freezes, NO MORE then 100,00/5 years, but if you live where it snows maybe once every five years, it's much-more +/-… 100,000 miles or 10 years whichever comes first.

- Where can I find an owners manual/ fuze diagram for my 1996 Ford Taurus GL? I need the fuze box diagram/ entire owners manual but I can't find it in my car or online. Can you help me find it or tell me what else I can do? Also will putting a fuze in the wrong spot do damage or will it just not work at all? Any help is greatly appreciated.
- Have 98 Ford Ranger, 4.0, 171,000 miles, auto trans with limited slip. I've owned truck since new and have changed trans fluid every 30-35 000 miles and have never towed anything. The majority of the 171,000 miles are interstate driving. The truck shifts fine with no jerking or slippage. What I do get is thump(s) in rear end when I come to a stop, as gears are downshifting. Do I need a new transmission? Any suggestions? I suppose it's a "clunk" I hear and feel when I come to a stop, not a thump.
- Can you damage your car engine by changing the oil at every 3,000 miles? The Ford dealer service advisors said that it could destroy the new engine by putting too much clean fluid in it. He advises every 10,000 miles between oil changes. I have a prepaid service plan. 2018 Ford Fusion
- Where can I find an Owners manual for a 2012 Ford Focus? I'm looking for a Repair manual for the 2012 Ford Focus. I tried Ebay and Amazon and the closest one they have is up to a 2011 model. Will this still work for a 2012 or do I need to get the 2012 manual? Has much changed on this model since 2011? Does anyone know where I can buy the 2012 Ford Focus Repair Owner's manual? If the 2011 still works for 2012, I'll buy one of those.
