1.25L Style 2013 vitals

Hi all,

Pretty new to this.

Is there a one stop shop where I can see what's the best Engine oil/Coolant/Brake fluid etc I can use for my specific car?

I have a 2013 1.25L fiesta style (petrol), and I've previously just taken to a garage to check and top up the levels, but want to do this myself now on. 

If you know the best products to use, please can you list? Any help would be great. Thanks!

    The specifications for all the fluids used in your car are listed in the owners handbook and are dependent on which engine you have. You must only use the exact specified types. The actual brand of which oils or coolant you choose is up to you. Personally I only ever use Ford coolant, and Castrol Magnitec oil.

    Read page 175 onwards of the owners handbook (link below)
