What engine is this for? Petrol or diesel? Not all engines need the same oil. I know the 1.0 Ecoboost needs 5W-20 spec oil.  They also may need to comply with certain Ford Spec too. Oil capacities may vary too.

The issue is you are very limited with how many characters you can put in a post title.

I think some form of subtitle or tag system would be useful for this forum
