In most US-spec 2013 Focus models, the engine takes SAE 5W-20 motor oil, with a total capacity of about 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters) including the oil filter.
The 2013 Focus uses a 2.0-liter Duratec engine, and Ford’s guidance specifies this viscosity as the standard. If your car is in another market or uses a different engine variant, the required oil grade can differ; always check the owner's manual or VIN-specific Ford documentation for exact requirements.
