Pwedeng pwede bro. Madami naman din competent na car repair shops around. it's just a matter of asking around

Be sure pala na palitan mo lahat ng fluids mo (oil, atf, power steering, brake, etc) kasi preowned fiesta mo. Hindi mo kasi alam age and quality ng mga yan maski na sinabi ng seller na bagong palit lang sila

For Ford Fiesta dual clutch transmission, there's a specialized fluid for this. Also, the Fiesta uses the electric power steering, hence no fluid is used.

Our 1st hand 2013 ford fiesta with dual clutch transmission has never been serviced at the casa for the usual pms (eg oil change, air filter change, etc) except for the faulty transmission control module which was replaced last 2015 (still under warranty). We just go to a nearby gas station for the periodical oil change.

If your unit is 2nd hand, it's highly recommended to have it thoroughly checked by a good car shop. Always buy genuine ford parts from reputable stores such as:

Golden Isuzu Mazda Parts, Inc. - Home | Facebook

Or buy from a Ford dealer directly and bring the original parts to the car shop of your choice. Some MoTech car shops are good.

The Fiesta's DCT is a dry-type dual-clutch tranny that needs no fluid change. This is a different DCT compared to the wet-clutch model used on the old Focus TDCi.

Check the web for shops that are recommended by fellow Fiesta owners.

^^^ There is a small fine print in the details of the DCT250 tranny. It is not totally maintenance free. It is rated for 150K miles (240k KM) before the following things are done.

- Change automatic transmission fluid and filter (filter not required on 6F35, 6F50, DPS6 and AWF-21 transmissions); consult dealer for requirements

Sir salamat sa mga reply niyo. Yung mga oil/fluid po ba pwede lang sa shell ko ipa maintain? And yung coolant nya pwede po ba kahit anong klase lang or dapat specific siya for ford fiesta?

Engine oil change pwede kahit saang gas station na may hydraulic lift. Any synthetic oil brand should be fine. Recommended oil type is SAE 5W-30. Nasa user manual yung details.

Pwede mo mabili sa ace hardware yung compatible oil filter (Vic C-111). Pwede din sa casa (Motorcraft 7S7G 6714 AAT).

Sa radiator coolant, best to buy that from ford dealer. So far sa case ng fiesta namin absolute distilled water lang ang dinadagdag namin kapag malapit na sa minimum level yung coolant.

If you live in Parañaque or Las Pinas, just go to FRDMAZ. Andun lahat ng usual fluids at minor parts for your maintenance needs.

Sa QC area naman, sa Powertorq Congressional puntahan ng mga Ford owners.
