Added (1). oil went in power steering fluid, sorry for the missed info
A total nonissue, Jr, forget about it.
5w30 is fine for a Focus. Fully synthetic in particular is superior.
Don't worry about it.
You should not even worry about that. If you drained and replace your oil, that just wasted a lot of oil. Change your oil filter. Figure out why your engine is low on oil- burning, or leaking? Fix the leak- simple. Fix the burning- not so simple.
That's probably what the recommended weight is.
And your question is?
Congratulations. Now put the correct weight oil in and get on with life.
- My mechanic put 5w30 oil in my ford ranger instead of 5w20. What could go wrong? Took my 2007 2.3L ford ranger in for an oil change, and they put 5W30 oil in it instead of the 5W20 that is shown in the book. Will this cause any problems, should i call them and have it changed/?
- I had a oil change for my 2004 Ford focus.They used 5w-20 is that OK. In the past 5w30 was used. Is it OK? I had a oil change for my 2004 Ford focus. They used 5w-20 is that OK. In the past 5w30 was used. Is it OK? - 1

- Car cuts out whilst starting a couple times and also because if being revved fully after starting? So yeah, it does that from starting cold i think. It has been suggested that its my Idle air control valve but i've cleaned that out and it still does it. Also replaced spark plugs. Its a Ford Fiesta 1998. However, it idles fine as soon as I've moved the car. So even when stopped it is fine as long as i have driven it since start up. The issues only happen on start up. Any ideas?
