engine oil

[Alistair Kerr]

hello

I have a 57 plate Focus 2 litre automatic which I bought privately. The previous owner had just had it fully serviced but did not know what oil was fitted. It has not used any over the last six months but I would like to know what is the correct/best grade and type (synthetic or semi synthetic) of oil the engine requires. I do a mixture of local and motorway miles.

Many thanks

My handbook advises Castrol Engine oil meeting Ford spec WSS-M2C913-C. Search the number without Castrol and you'll get a variety of manufacturers supplying compatible fully-synthetic 5W-30 oils. The handbook says any oil meeting that spec is suitable, it doesn't have to be Castrol. Halfords and even Tesco own brands have this spec oil.

many thanks. Just the information I was after!
