Additional Notes

  • The Ford Focus (USA) 2.0 16V from 1999-2004 carries a manual transaxle fluid capacity of 2 liters, paired with a check interval of every 8,000 km under normal use conditions.
  • The 2.3 16V from 2003-2004 shares the same 2-liter manual transaxle capacity and 8,000 km check interval as the 2.0 16V of the same era, indicating a consistent service schedule across both engine displacements in that period.
  • Starting with the 2005-2007 model years, both the 2.0 16V and 2.3 16V drop to a 1.9-liter manual transaxle capacity, a reduction of 0.1 liters compared to the earlier 1999-2004 and 2003-2004 specifications.
  • The 2005-2007 rows for both engine variants list no check interval, whereas the earlier 1999-2004 and 2003-2004 rows explicitly state an 8,000 km check interval.
  • The 2008-2011 2.0 16V retains the 1.9-liter figure but labels it as a dry fill capacity. A dry fill value represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely drained or newly assembled transaxle, as opposed to a partial service refill after a fluid change where residual fluid remains.
