i have a 91 Festiva, but around that range they are pretty much the same so it is 3 quarts of oil
My 1989 festiva owner manual states: 3.9 quarts with a filter change.
Check your PCV valve.
3.6 Quarts (including filter)
Mounted on the engine block.
Is your PCV valve working okay?
According to my Chilton's Auto Repair Manual : For a 1988 Ford Festiva that has the 1.3 liter / 81 cubic inch four cylinder : With engine oil filter change : ( 3.9 U.S. quarts )
The oil capacity for a 1990 Ford Festiva, including the oil filter, is approximately 4 quarts (or about 3.8 liters). It's important to check the owner's manual for specific recommendations and to ensure the correct type of oil is used. Always verify the level after filling to ensure proper lubrication.
I bought a 1989 Festiva LX which has the same 1.3L engine as the 1988 Festiva, and I used nothing but 10W30 Pennzoil in it. I changed both the Oil and the Oil Filter religiously and got 269,000 miles on that engine. Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3
I think the Festiva manual transmission uses ATF The auto parts store or the owners manual will tell you
The oil filter for a 1999 Ford Festiva is located on the underside of the engine, near the oil pan. It can be accessed from under the vehicle, and you may need to remove some components for better visibility and access. Make sure the engine is cool before attempting to change the oil filter to avoid burns.
