What is the 2012 Ford Focus oil type?
My sister is going to do the oil change on my 2012 Ford Focus and I need to run to the store to get her some oil to use. What kind of oil do I need to buy?

How nice of her—and good on you to check! Using the wrong type of engine oil on your car can wreak havoc on your engine.
The 2012
Ford Focus
oil type is 5W-20. If you’re ever short on time, you can check the owner’s manual or oil cap in your engine to verify the type of oil you need. It’s a good idea to keep oil for your car on hand—whether it’s to do your own oil change (which you should do every 3,000-5,000 miles) or to top off your oil tank if your oil is running low.
