[font="Tahoma"]Hey people new to the forum,
Would like to know what the capacity for the oil as I just got my hands on a 2001 51' Mondeo Mk3 2.0 Tdi. Doubt it's been serviced, would you recommend me using Full Synthetic?

I ask this as i've not received my Haynes Manual to look it up yet.

Thanks for the help guys

Also Hello to the people on the Forum.[/font]

Brilliant Stuff, Thank you.

But that Now means i've got to buy 2 Can's of oil, Thats expensive.

if you are going to be servicing your own car, is it worth looking at buying a 25litre drum? i buy 25litres of 5w/30 fully synthetic for my car for about £65
by the time i have serviced my car and sometimes my dads or father in laws, i can use it quite quickly. im on the 4th drum in 2 years. if that were halfords prices it would be around £500 probably

Where do you get these drums from then?

Would be very useful.

Thanks

I get mine from a local engineering supplier just a few miles from me, but they do deliver.

just checked, price seems to have gone up from £65 to £73 a drum. her is a link to the stuff i buy, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Q8-OIL-5W-30-FORMULA-TECHNO-MOTOR-OIL-1-x-25ltrs-/180398092629?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a00907155#ht_2482wt_911
