Is it necessary to use synthetic oil in a Ford Focus?

I recently purchased a Ford Focus and I'm not sure if I should be using synthetic oil for maintenance. What are the benefits and drawbacks of using synthetic oil in a Ford Focus? Will using conventional oil affect the performance or lifespan of my car?

Yes, it is highly recommended to use synthetic oil in a Ford Focus. Synthetic oil provides better protection and performance for your engine, especially in extreme temperatures and heavy driving.

No, you can use conventional oil in your Ford Focus without any issues. It may not offer the same level of performance as synthetic oil, but it will still keep your engine running smoothly.

I personally use synthetic blend oil in my Ford Focus and have never had any issues. It offers a good balance between the benefits of synthetic and the affordability of conventional oil.
