Plenty of good examples on the bay, will most likely be buying one myself soon, only use 5W/30 (Fords reccomendation) I always use Castrol.

Fairly straight forward, have to remove the passenger side of scuttle panel, and then the filter can be seen.

05> focus pollen filter is behind the center of the dash get to it from passager side foot well, remove the trim on side of tunnel and drop down fuse box remover fuse box bracket and its in there on the right. If you've got a a/c glove box you have to take the pipe out for that.

Its a bit of a pain if you've never done one.

I saw the above and I would buy it but I don't want the oil as I prefer to use the make I have always used (I am petty about things like that haha, even know it's good quality and nothing would happen) but yes the key ring is quite funky as well.

Edit: Just after I wrote the above I found one from the same seller minus the oil, do you get the PCV filter (Square) as well?
