Make or grade?

Westie handbook says Motorcraft 15/40. To my mate, who is a Ford technician and who sorts mine for me, I said "15/40?" and he say no no no no no!!!!!! 5w30 in any Zetec and nothing else.

Maybe you lot all know this already?

Mr Ford says 5w30 semi synthetic only - nothing else.

Spoken to a couple of mechanics who I know, who both advised the same

Thats whats gone in mine a couple of weeks ago

This old chestnut crops up fairly often but having taken advice from numerous places, not just here, I decided on 5W 30 and as I could get Castrol GTX Magnatec for free ( don't ask  :blush: ) this suited me fine. Raceline recommend Valvoline 10W 40 but I suspect that this is with solid lifters not the hydraulic ones fitted pre  late 1998.
