Ford Focus 2018 2019 2020 oil capacity
Oil change intervals are much longer now than they used to be, 8000 miles doesn’t sound too long. The Ford owners portal says the oil should be changed every 10,000 miles in your case, but put your details in to be sure.
The oil light only goes on if the oil gets very low, or has low pressure, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check it. When you get home stop the car, then check the oil using the dipstick, the procedure should be pull it, wipe it, put it all the back in, then pull it out and check the level. If it’s low top it up with the right kind of oil, don’t just use anything. If the level is very low and the sensor hasn’t come on then it should be checked.
