Ford Focus Service Types

There are different levels of services available for your Ford Focus. They’re suitable at different intervals, based on your car’s year and engine. Discover Ford Focus service types below:
Convenience Check (interim services)

An annual interim check between main services.

Convenience checks are essentially an interim service, ideal for low mileage drivers (e.g. under 3,000 annually.) This gives you a chance for your Ford Focus to be checked over even if your main service is a long way off.

This acts as a health check and also renews your Service Activated Roadside Assistance (SARA) for another year.
Service Activated Roadside Assistance (SARA)

All new Ford Focus cars come with 12 months of European Roadside Assistance from the date of registration. This extends by a year every time you get

This is extended for another 12 months every time you get a Convenience Check or Scheduled Service, or until your next service.

You get your Focus serviced whilst renewing your roadside cover at additional cost.
Full service

Every 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Ford Focus Variable Oil Service Intervals
One part you don’t need to worry about is oil servicing. Your Ford Focus has variable oil change intervals that will alert you when it’s time to get an oil change with an “oil change required” message.

You have 1,000 miles or 1 year (whichever is first) from the moment you see the alert.*

*This feature is only available on certain Ford Focus models. This typically won’t be available on older models.

To reduce the need for regular oil changes, avoid the following driving behaviours:
- Regularly driving under 30mph
- Carrying frequent trips under 2 miles
- Driving with a fully loaded car, towing trailers & driving up steep inclines
