You need 4,6 qts of 5W-20 motor oil. If I were you I'd start right now to use synthetic oil. If you decide to do it - go with "The First in Synthetics" and the best: Amsoil! 5W-20 XL motor oil gives you (guaranteed) protection for 7.500 miles. (Do not fall for warranty cancellations or similar dealership spam. Magnuson-Moss act prohibts cancellations based on brand). Read this: http://people.msoe.edu/~yoderw/oilfilterstudy/oilfilterstudy.html or this: http://www.lesabret.com/filters/filter.html and try to avoid Fram filters. It seems that any other filter is better than Fram. I'd recommend Amsoil, Wix, Carquest (made by Wix), Mobil...

You could have either a failing master or slave cylinder or the hydraulic fluid level is very low which could also be from a leaking master or slave cylinder; check for wet-looking areas around both.
The master is located either inside or under the hood on the firewall; the slave is located on the transmission housing itself.
Until you locate the problem, use neutral gear position when starting so the tranny doesn't drag and load the starter.
After replacing the defective cylinder, be sure to bleed the lines (like when doing brake repairs) to avoid having an ineffective or just spongy pedal again.

disconnected pipes and clip, engaged two bolts through pedal box to master cylinder, carefully tighten bolts and draw lugs into line. tighten bolts equally, or potentially could damage mastercylinder.

SOURCE: small spring fell out beside clutch pedal after
this is becoming common on the focus but will not effect the way the car performs in any way.
the spring goes from the clutch pedal to the pedal box
please let me know if this helps
cheers
big mike :)
SOURCE: The clutch pedal on my 2000 Ford Focus ZTS broke.
It is a hydraulic clutch. Have you checked the fluid? It likely has leak. Bad slave cylinder?
