Focus Tdci 1.6 Oil filter location - edders
Sorry if this has been dealt with before.
Can anyone tell me where the oil filter is located ?
I've changed filters on cars for years but this one has me stumped.
I can't see it looking down on to the engine, and I've removed the plastic undershield and looked up but still no joy.
Help much appreciated.
Thanks.
Edders.

The oil filter is located on the right of the engine,you will have to remove the air cleaner to get at it .You will need a 27 mm socket for the filter and plenty of rag to catch the oil.Hope this helps.

Bikerider - Thanks for that.
By the right of the engine, do you mean nearside (kerb) or off-side (driver's) ?
Is it in a plastic or metal housing ?
Can I get at it from standing, or is it a crawl under job ?
Thanks,
Edders.

it's the n/s of the vehicle, you access it from the top of the engine, take off the air box and you will see a black plastic cap with a 27mm nut on the top of it.
