Hi I recently bought 1987 xr3i with 101000 miles. I want to give it a service and wanted advice on which and type of oil to use??

Many thanks

    My Dad was advised by someone in the oil trade to use 10w40 fully synthetic. We used Castrol Magnetec.

    Piccies please. Always like to see an XR3i as it takes me back. I had an 87 version which I loved.

    Looks very nice. Staying standard?

    Can't tell from the pictures but are they the original Carrello 640 spotlamps? If they are be careful with them, saw a set go on ebay the other week for over £200!

    Thank you, I will probably keep it standard. It does need some tidying up on the bodywork but nothing too serious then a respray. Unfortunately the spot lamps are ring ones, I would like to find some genuine ford ones
