artscot79 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 personally i use ford oil from the dealer specified for the car its not cheap stuff they use and its what the cars meant to have so ide just go with that if im honest i believe its actually made by Castrol but i could be wrong on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
