Locate oil sump Ford Focus Diesel '08

pangeran

Hi

I'm trying to find the sump nut to drain the oil but it's not obvious.

Any ideas?

After jacking the car, I see a panel that has 4/5 nuts but i haven't removed it yet....

You need to get yourself one of these;

It'll be one bolt only. Are you sure it's a good idea to attempt this?

Get under and look up at engine block follow your way down to the bottom there should be the sump about the same size as a square penny sweet box there are usually a load of nuts attaching,at the bottom of this you should see one bolt,take out bolt drain oil into a basin pour about a liter in filler cap and let drain and pop bolt back in change filter and fill with oil leaving for about 10min to settle then top up as needed..
(i loosen oil bung and nip up a bit stops fiddling about with out engine then run engine untill at operating temp then let bung off and drain as the hot oil flows out quickly

I know it can be a bit confusing searching for it, buts its fairly obvious where it does be, usually it's at the bottom or sides.
If you can't find it, don't do it
