If you own a 2.0L auto and your starting to have poor km out of a full tank of fuel. You need to change the auto transmission fluid and what a ***** that is,there's no sump plug and you gotta buy the auto transmission fluid at Ford.
I think every 15,000km it needs to get done.

I have a '03 LR LX and the Service Schedule recommends that when a 'B' Service is due you need only to change the fluid in "severe duty conditions only" or replace the fluid every 60k if only used for continous heavy towing (unlikely), police (haven't seen a Focus used as a Police Car yet), or door to door delivery (haven't seen a Pizza Delivery Focus yet). But thanks for this info, FRA.

i do deliveries in ma focus haha. I just had ma 'B' service done and couldnt be ****** gettin it done until the new year cause the bloody rotors are ****** so i gotta get new harder rotors that are harder then the pads. Thats the problem with euro cars any of em ie bmw merc focus astra etc is that cause they built for colder climates the rotors are softer then the pads so u always wear rotors out and so i thought screw it ill put some propper 1ns in haha.

Rotors are cheap, they're only ~$150 for a set of 2.

What sort of mileage were you getting and what did it change to after you changed the fluid?
Is yours an LS or LR Focus? |
