Anyone (elnorte...haha) know what weight oil the ST is going to use? My regular Focus is 5w-20. I'm thinking ST may require a little heavier weight. Just curious because I like to buy 5 gallon jugs, and my Focus is due for a change. Don't want to invest in 5 gallon jug if the ST is going to take a different weight.

Doesn't the focus take 4.5 quarts per change. Only did it once so can't recall. Anyway, it's only a qt. I save all the leftovers for lawn mowers, and other power equipment.

I would imagine it would be the same oil as in the 2.0L Ecoboost in the Ford Edge, 5W-30.

Yup 4.5 quarts. I like to buy 5 gallon jugs cuz my wifes fusion hybrid takes 5w-20 as well and its easier to keep a jug then a bunch of quarts in garage. Little cheaper too. Im hoping ST uses same weight so i continue getting in bulk. :thumbup:

Wow! 5.7 quarts! That's almost as much as my Raptor 6.2 was. Great for cooling though. Oh well on the 5w-30. Thank you for posting the chart!

5.7 quarts does seem like a lot of oil for a 2L.

My N.A. 1.7L Civic only takes around 3.5 quarts, but I would imagine turbo vehicles almost always require more oil.

Some more fluid capacities from the Euro Focus Manual (includes some ST info):

Pretty hefty cooling system as well...9.2 quarts, bigger than the 2.0L turbo diesel!

That's good. I keep seeing ford saying that its a built up a "robust" cooling system. Need that here in Texas. Lol

I've always run 5w30 on my turbo cars. 5w30 royal purple to be specific.

Hmmm.. I wonder if I will need to make an oil vapor catch can?
