Is that alright for a 1.6 diesel? TZJA 

 

Hi Andy,

Short answer is it depends if it matches the oil spec in the handbook ... I had a quick look at the online handbook for 2010 and suspect it's a no. The viscosity rating is ok but this oil doesn't match the ACEA spec Ford stipulate.

Castrol Magnatec would match and isn't super expensive...

    A5/B5 is recommended, yes, because its designed for direct injection and egr systems, but c3 is designed for diesels and has a higher HTHS rating, so can operate without thinning and thus, provide more protection. So whilst not what's suggested, its not gonna hurt anything.
