In almost all modern cars, the manufacturer does not insist on replacing oil in mechanical gearboxes. Ford Manual Focus 2 also claims that owl on the oil conveyor will be enough for the entire period of operation of the car. Nevertheless, most owners and auto mechanics recommend changing the oil in the manual transmission no less than 70-90 thousand runs. This is due to both the quality of lubrication and the heavy conditions of the transmission.
Video about the replacement of oil in the manual transmission on Ford Focus 2:
What poured into the Ford Focus 2 box at the factory
At the plant in the manual, FordService 75W-90 BO is poured.
Unlike the cases when the gearbox was repaired, replacing the seals, no rush and clear regulations for transmission replacement on the second generation focus. Unless when oil streams from under the same gland. Therefore, we will choose the oil and thoughtfully.
Original Ford transmission for mechanical boxes can be replaced. FordService 75W-90 BO With a catalog number 1790199.
His viscosity on SAE is the main, but not the only criterion for finding analogs.
The color of the original oil is yellow, transparent.
- The price of Fords oil is not less 1300 rubles per liter that is not entirely democratic.
- Oil volume in the manual transmission - 2.8 l, but when replacing, as a rule, no more than 2.2 liters .
Characteristics and tolerances
Oil with MCPP on a run of 60,000 km.
But we know its physico-technical characteristics and tolerances:
- viscosity tolerance SAE 75W-90 ;
- oil class by ARI - GL5 ;
- separation temperature - 186 degrees ;
- complete temperature - - - - 54 degrees ;
- kinematic viscosity at 100 degrees - 15.09 mm2 / s ;
- kinematic viscosity at 40 degrees - 75.99 mm2 / s .
Analogs of oil in the manual transmission
Consequently, for these parameters we can find a dozen substitutes from well-known manufacturers.
Motul Gear 300 75W-90
Motul Gear 300 75W-90.
For example, Motul Gear 300 75W-90 oil has identical characteristics, but its threshold of frozen at -36 degrees, and for the northern regions, this temperature is already close to critical.
Mobil Mobilube 1 SHC ™ 75W-90
Reverse side of the packaging.
The same can be said about the transmission Mobil Mobilube 1 SHC ™ 75W-90. Despite the same viscosity index of SAE, this oil also showed itself on severe frosts not in the best way. For warm regions, these oils are quite suitable, and the prices for them (from 800 rubles per liter) are quite balanced.
Liqui Moly Hochleistungs-Getriebeoil 75W-90
Hochleistungs-Getriebeoil 75W-90
Works well on the frost Liqui Moly Hochleistungs-Getriebelo 75W-90 oil. It will provide soft turning on the gear, easy work lever and rather durable. Many prefer to fill the Ford focus in the MCPP that is precisely this oil.
Castrol 75W-90
More users praise Castrol 75W90, however, for Russia, it makes it with a few other compositionThan for Europe, but it should not be affected by this.
Enios Gear Oil 75W-90
Sometimes they use even cheaper Enios Gear Oil 75W-90, but it is also not intended to work at 40-degree frost, and in moderate climate works very well. It pleases and its price is from 1.5 thousand for four liters.
Shell Spirax 75W-90
One of the most inexpensive oil in the manual transmission.
conclusions
Thus, knowing the basic physico-technical parameters of the oil, we can easily find analogue to the original Ford oil for the mechanical gearbox focus. Successful to all selection and clear transmission inclusions at any temperature!
