5w-30 fully synthetic. Any brand as they are all to the same specification. Tesco and Asda sell their own brand or Carparts4less are competitive. See link. Free delivery too.
Hi so simple if it is a diesel then 10 w -40 oil is the one not needs.
You can use any brand. But it must be for a diesel engine… With summer coming 10-40 is best grade…5-30 is like tap water… I own a garage in uk
Cheap as it will leak and burn equally
Use recommended by ford or equivalent. 5-30W. For example Ford current oil is synthetic and designed for that engine. Some makes have differing oils and we need to be specific e.g. For a 'diesel' engine not petrol.
( the current lubrication oil for ford diesel can also be use din its petrol engines funnily enough) the oils are designed for specific needs e.g. Detergent levels.friction levels etc in diesels we have a high carbon content in oil due to by products in the oil from ignition process. It is very important for these engines to get regular oil changes for longevity. ( air filter changes for best MPG) oil filter should ALWAYS be renewed when changing oil.
- How does transferring rego from a SA reg to a QLD reg work when buying a car? My girlfriend and I are in Australia on working holiday visas and we're keen to buy a car in order to travel down th East Coast. We have found a car that looks decent, but the car's rego is for SA and we're in Cairns (QLD) and the rego is up in a few days. How will it work, renewing/transferring the rego from QLD and how much should it cost? The car is a ford falcon station wagon if that matters.
- What type of full synthetic oil to put in 2005 ford focus? I have a 2005 ford focus ST zx4 and need to add oil, this is the first time adding oil since I bought the car. All I know is that the previous owner used full synthetic. I have to add just about a quarter of oil until an oil change in a few weeks. I have heard that full synthetic 5w-30 or 5w-40 is good but no lower than 5w-30 or I can take the chance of blowing up my car… Any thoughts on this?
- My 2000 reg ford focus just cut out when i applied the foot break, the battery, oil & engine lights came on? Even though it wouldnt drive it didn't turn off, so i turned it off then back on again after 1 minute & it was fine. Why would this happen?
- Ford Focus 1.8 TDDI was popping out of 5th gear now won't go into any gear! Is it Clutch or Gearbox? The car which is a 2002 was jumping out of 5th gear into neutral when travelling at 60mph. Now it won't go into any gear and I can only start the car with the clutch pedal pressed in and when I release the clutch pedal with the gear stick in neutral the car stalls. The gear stick will literally not go into any gear. I think I need to find a used gearbox and I think the clutch is fine. What do you think?
