LW Focus info please?

Hello all,

Took my Focus to Ford to get the 60K service. No worries.

Guy told me next time I'm in I need to change my coolant. Now, I know for a fact the coolant is listed as 10 years in the book, and sure enough it is listed as such. I didn't want to start a debate with the guy as I had stuff to do and wanted to leave pronto.

Anyway, can someone with a LW Focus look into their service booklet and tell me if theirs says 4yrs or 10 years. I think mine says that at 4 yrs the cap and seal needs to be inspected for leaks and that it holds the correct pressure. That's it.

I got over the fact that my booklet states that the 6 speed auto is 'sealed for life' and paid the full monty for the auto service to also be performed.

I wonder if I should also question why they needed (charged me for) 7 litres of transmission fluid when the book says 5.6L is required?

I guess, they can say that they used 30 litres, as long as the total comes at the 'fixed price' listed on the Ford site.. Still doesn't sit right with me.

Thanks

Jason
