oilburner79 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 You'll be needing 5W 30 fully synthetic that meets Ford specifications Castrol is good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 +1 Castrol magnatec is recommended across the whole Ford range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
