Bogs down at 40mph

Asked by Shane Oct 25, 2017 at 09:24 AM about the 2007 Ford Focus

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 07 ford focus 2.0L. I've noticed that
the car is acting sluggish. Checked the oil.
Needed oil so I added 2 quarts and a bottle
of oil Lucas stabilizer. Ran fine for a week.
Last night felt off so I checked the oil and
again it needed oil. Added 2 quarts and a
bottle of Lucas. This morning it started fine
but when I got off the highway it bogged
down at 60 and would not accelerate. Pulled
over and no check engine light on. Turn the
car off for a second. Starts up fine. Gets to
40-45mph and doesn't want to accelerate
past it. Sputters a bit if you get going past
45.

So you are saying it was 3 quarts low? Wow, no wonder it doesn't run correctly.
