SootySport Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Agree, Regular oil changes as well, earlier than specified is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab (bombero) Reid Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Have used valvoline 5w 30 as recommended by a cosworth technician who has worked on many zetec and duratec engines. Gd for fast road and occasional track and shud cost no more than £50 for annual change ! Just had this recommended to me as well .. I think it was the 5w 30 'MST' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Turner Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just found this on e-bay, if I needed some I would get some of this. Absolute bargain for 5w/30 Fully Synthetic. Must be the replacement for the Formula E semi synthetic I used in the Puma, Mondeo and Focus and Seven I used to get from our factors before they closed, used to pay £18.00 for that and I thought that was a bargain. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm....2c6bcc3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsechris Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Good find Paul, just ordered a box of 4. Bargain, rapid delivery and really well packed too. (No, I have no connection to seller!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordbenny Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Just bought some of this but got it for £23.50 +p&p off E-bay....result! http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like....ar=sbar Ha ha, just to let you know that the bottled turned up in a right state, 4 litres instead of the described 5 litres AND it wasn't sealed.....goodness me! Had a real go at the seller and he agreed a full refund and told me to bin the oil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Bobbleton Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Will pop along to our local Ford Dealer Stealer, and see what the over the counter price is... I think the Ford stuff should be ok, I would change every 2000 miles anyway. Was looking at Magnatec in Asda at £26 for 4 litres, but my Raceline sump needs 5 litres Will post up local dealer price when ascertained.

(that is having to buy a 4 litre container and a 1 litre can.) The alternative, if your preferred oil is sold in 4 ltr. ratherf than 5 ltr. is to buy two 4 ltr. containers, use 5 ltrs. and have 3 ltrs. over for topping up if necessary and then on next change you'll only need to get one 4 ltr. container, assuming you haven't used all 3 ltrs. left from the first change.

Paul D Turner Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The one in my link above is for full 5 litres and at £15.42 for genuine fully synthetic Ford oil has to be a bargain. Postage ain't bad if you have 4 either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
