Hi Guys,
my car didn't come with the service books so I rang the previous owner (a leasing company) and they advised all services were done by a ford dealer and are up to date. I've seen on these and other forums that there seems to be some confusion about whether the Powershift transmission needs an oil change periodically or not. Can someone confirm if it is in the service book or not? If not, where is it written that it is a requirement? Also, if anyone knows where I can download a copy of the service book or is willing to provide a scanned copy that'd be great. I have one coming from ford but who knows how long that will take. |

Well, best to get that service book.
For the LV Focus, the service intervals are 15000km or 12 months. Every 4th service is a "B" service, the other three are "A" services. (So a "B" service at 60000km, then 120000km, etc.) You can check this at the Ford capped price servicing site. In theory the price will never be higher than this. In practice at many Ford dealers, the price will never be lower either... The transmission is done every "B" service: "Automatic transmission (6 speed): Renew fluid and filter - 6DCT450". |

Thanks very much for that. My transmission fluid was done 30k ago then. Service book is on its way apparently.

Some service books state the transmission is 'sealed for life' and there is no mention of the tranny needing to be done every 60k.
I had an early 2010 LV. The Mondeo log book does state the service, which I'd odd as both cars share the same engine and powershift box.
