laumk7 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I get mine changed yearly with the service, don't see the point in doing it more often tbh ( well unless I was doing thousands and thousands of miles a year anyway). I do about 11k a year mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1tch Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 It would depend on the oil you have chosen to run it on eg a better synthetic is ok for a slightly longer life, although with the 1.6TDCi engine I would keep it well serviced at all times! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave1987 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Check ford etis online for your cars service schedule https://www.etis.ford.com/vehicleRegSelector.do I believe fiesta 1.6 TDCi is 1 year/12,500 miles, whichever comes first. However, some 1.6 TDCi's suffer from oil carbonisation problems that ultimately led to turbo failure and Ford therefore reduced oil change intervals to a max of 10,000 miles- check. I get my car serviced annually at Ford (I do 10k per year, focus 1.6 Ecoboost) but do an oil and filter change at 6 monthly intervals too (Castrol oil, ford filter). Parts are cheap (less than £30) and will give you added piece of mind, especially on the 1.6 TDCi engine!

A lot of potential well known problems if you don't. For the sake of £40 (for the Castrol oil and filter and a new sump plug washer). And a half hour labour charge its the best money you'll spend on this engine. Otherwise the repairs if things go wrong its well documented on the 1.6 hdi/tdci etc engines can run into big money. Basically every year mines gets a full service (air/fuel/pollen and oil+filter). And a oil and filter change mid year (approx. 7k). The Castrol 5w 30 fully synthetic oil for ford cars is only around £30 and the filters from ford parts uk are not that much more expensive than motor factor ones. Its such an economical car to operate (no road tax and 57-60mpg in real terms on a mix of driving) that it would be silly not to keep it well serviced if you plan on keeping it a few years (like myself). Get the brake fluid and coolant changed by your local garage with decent or ford stuff every couple of years too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSFocus Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 So what type/brand of oil do you guys use? Castrol 5w30 ? I was thinking 5w30 LiquiMoly or Petronas in my next oil change (next 5k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking 5w30 LiquiMoly or Petronas in my next oil change (next 5k) Think ford recommend Castrol and its on the oil filler cp and in the handbook to use Castrol but that is probably for commercial reasons and tie-ins with different oil companies and car manufacturers. Vauxhall recommend Mobil oil in most of their vehicles I think from memory of when I had a corsa. At the end of the day as long as it meets the specification and isn't some unknown brand then i'd guess there won't be any major issues. Personally, until I sell the car, I go with the Castrol 5w-30 fully syth A5 (I think) it has recommended for ford diesels etc i'm sure written on the bottle so you'll know the right one. Its no overly expensive online (euro car parts, or ford parts uk etc) or even Asda do it cheap (about £25 now and again). Think its £31 in Halfords. Petronas seem to be making a big push in the uk just now, some good deals for high spec oil, could maybe be worth you giving that a try I suppose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1tch Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 These are the oils Opieoils are recommending: http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-2354-lookup-results.aspx?vehicleid=1003&variantlist=98661:0,99123:0,142272:0,132111:0,139761:0,139771:0,170265:0&yearFilter=2007 Basically look for the oil that matches with the Ford specific requirements for the engine, seems to be 5w40 fully synthetic Ford MC2 913-A/B/C/D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave1987 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I use Castrol magnatec fully synthetic 5w30 A5. £21 for 4 litres at my local asda, plus £7 for a filter from Ford. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
