u lot are mad the proper stuff to be using in zetecs is 5-30 grade semi or fully synthetic stuff. fully synthetic can go for more miles than semi.

Castrol Magnatec is a semi-synthetic - adequate but not the best.

what is the best oil in 5W30 form then? I though Magnatec was supposed to offer protection from cold startup, is that just a sales pitch or do other oils do this as well?

Best to go for a ford approved 5w-30, the ford spec is WSS M2C913 A/B. Most are semi syntethics but some full synthetics are out there, the best we know of is the Motul 8100 range or the Motul Ford Specific.

Tech specs here http://www.opieoils.co.uk/lubricants.htm
