the oil your after is 5w-30 semi synthetic, price difference on the filter is minimum so i would use ford.

Thanks for the swift reply people.. :D .....Bill One final question . Is it ok to use that grade in fully syntetic guise ? The reason i ask is a mate of mine in the motor trade can get Fully Syntetic very cheaply..

[Mondeoman]

Fully synthetic yes or no peoples ?

[mintalkin]

should be ok as long as it comes up to ford specs as some fully synthetic does not.

I ran Shell helix fully synthetic high performance diesel oil (believe it was 10w 40) from october last year until having a service at the dealers in march without any problems (I have a 2.0 tdci 130), always use a genuine filter though as the difference in cost is negligable and oe filters are supposed to perform better than generic ones
