Can my Ford Fiesta use E10 petrol?

Yes, every petrol-engined Fiesta (2013-2017) can be filled with e10 petrol, and can also be run on super unleaded
e5 petrol, if you don't mind the extra expense at the pump.

E10 petrol consists of up to 10% renewable ethanol, which is designed to reduce your petrol-engined
Fiesta's CO2 emissions. Super unleaded petrol in the UK still contains up to 5% renewable ethanol and is known as
E5.

Fiesta torque specs

Roadwheel Nuts
135 Nm 

Front Caliper Guide Pin Bolts

26 Nm*

Front Caliper Mounting Bracket Bolts

70 Nm

Spark plugs
13 Nm (1.0 litre petrol engines)

 
15 Nm (1.25 and 1.6 litre petrol engines)

*Do not re-use these bolts

Ford Fiesta 2013 to 2017 maintenance schedule

The maintenance intervals from our manual are provided with the assumption that you, not the dealer, will be
carrying out the work. These are the minimum intervals recommended by us for vehicles driven daily. If you wish to
keep your vehicle in peak condition at all times, you may wish to perform some of these procedures more often.
We encourage frequent maintenance, since it enhances the efficiency, performance and resale value of your
vehicle. 

If the vehicle is driven in dusty areas, used to tow a trailer, or driven frequently at slow speeds (idling in traffic) or
on short journeys, more frequent maintenance intervals are recommended.

When the vehicle is new, it should be serviced by a dealer service department (or other workshop recognised by
the vehicle manufacturer as providing the same standard of service), in order to preserve the warranty. The vehicle
manufacturer may reject warranty claims if you are unable to prove that servicing has been carried out as and
when specified, using only original equipment parts or parts certified to be of equivalent quality.

Ford Fiesta service intervals

Every 250 miles

Check the engine oil level

Check the coolant level
Check the screenwash fluid level
Check the brake/clutch fluid level
Check the tyres and tyre pressures
Check the condition of the battery
Check the condition of the wiper blades

Every 6000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first

Renew the engine oil and filter 

Note: Ford recommend that the engine oil and filter are changed every 12 500 miles or 12 months. However, oil and
filter changes are good for the engine, and we recommend that the oil and filter are renewed more frequently,
especially if the car is used on a lot of short journeys.

Every 12,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first

In addition to the items listed above, carry out the following:

Renew the pollen filter, where applicable 

Check all components, pipes and hoses for fluid leaks 
Check the condition of the auxiliary drivebelt 
Check the antifreeze/inhibitor strength
Check and if necessary adjust the handbrake 
Check the condition of the exhaust system components

the interval suggested above is observed, especially on cars which are subjected to intensive use, ie, mainly short
journeys or a lot of stop-start driving. The actual belt renewal interval is very much up to the individual owner, but bear
in mind that severe engine damage will result if the belt breaks. 

Every 100,000 miles or 8 years, whichever comes first

Adjust the valve clearances 

Renew the auxiliary drivebelt – 1.25 and 1.6 litre engines
Renew the timing belt, tensioner and idlers – 1.0 litre engines

in mind that severe engine damage will result if the belt breaks.
