Octane recommendations
Your vehicle is designed to use
“Premium” unleaded gasoline with
an (R+M)/2 octane rating of 91 or
higher. The use of gasoline with
lower octane ratings may damage
the engine. Gasoline labeled as “Premium” in high altitude areas that are
sold with octane ratings of less than 91 are not recommended.
If your engine knocks under any driving conditions while you are using
fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your dealer or a qualified
service technician to prevent any engine damage.
Synthetic fluids
There are no synthetic fluids or break-in fluids in your SVT Focus engine
when it leaves the factory. Note that SVT does not make
recommendations about the use of synthetic oils in your engine. should
you decide to use synthetic engine oil, we recommend you allow 4,000 to
6,000 (6,500 km to 9,600 km) in order to assure complete break-in
before switching to synthetic oil.
