What type of transmission fluid should I use for my Ford Focus?

I recently got a Ford Focus and I am not sure which type of transmission fluid to use. I want to make sure I am using the right one to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Can anyone recommend a specific type or brand of transmission fluid that works well for this model?

I highly recommend using Motorcraft MERCON LV automatic transmission fluid for your Ford Focus. It's specifically designed for Ford vehicles and will provide the best results.

I've always used Valvoline MaxLife multi-vehicle automatic transmission fluid for my Ford Focus and it hasn't given me any issues. It's also more affordable than the Motorcraft option.

You can also try using Castrol Transmax DEX/MERC automatic transmission fluid. It meets the specifications for your Ford Focus and has been known to provide smoother gear shifts.
