Doing my first oil change in a few days and about to purchase some oil,

I can't remember if its 4 liters or 5 liters of oil required for the oil change. I have a mk2.5 focus 2009 zetec. And any recommended oil brands for 5W30?

    what engine is it?

    get the castrol magnatec 5w-30 A1 or the ford branded oil, whichever is cheaper

    any other with the spec of WSS-M2C-913C/D is ok too

    My bad its a 1.6 petrol. What's better A1 or A5

    a5 is technically better as its higher in spec but if its alot more in price dont worry about it. your car was designed to work with the A1 spec so itll work fine, however if you can get it the same price then why not

    i purchase the A5 spec from here: http://www.fordpartsuk.com/shop/ford_5w30_castrol_magnatec_professional_oil_5ltr_f_1502265_c_1044.htm

    its 5 litres and the whole bottle is enough for me
