What oil does a Ford Focus take?

Ford Focus Engine Oil Recommendation
The 2016 Ford Focus is recommended to use Motorcraft SAE 5w-20 engine oil to comply with the wss-m2c930-a Ford standard. It is also recommended to use synthetic oil versus traditional oil for improved overall safety and performance. Synthetic oil provides additional advantages such as being more chemically stable, more difficult to break down and lose lubricating characteristics, and less likely to acidify or oxidize.
Oil Capacity for Ford Focus
When changing the oil in the engine of a Ford Focus, approximately 4.5 quarts of oil are required. It is important to also change the oil filter during the oil change process.
Additional Information

In summary, for a 2016 Ford Focus, it is recommended to use Motorcraft SAE 5w-20 engine oil and approximately 4.5 quarts of oil are needed during an oil change.
