OK as you all know i've got a 1.6s,it's an 89' late F reg. now done 120k
What is the best oil to go for, a fully synthetic? What are the advantages? I work for Mobil so that will be my preferred brand!! and when i put it in, i take it i'll have to do an 'oil change' rather than just a 'top up' or is it ok to mix it with my current oil?? how often should i top-up the oil and how often for a change??


Cheerz In advance, Rob

It cant hurt for you to change it. Should be good for it aswell.

Do you get discount?? Free oil for all at Fiestaturbo.com, what do you reckon???

Dont mix your oils, do a full oil and filter change
Check your oil every week and top up with the same oil that is in the engine.

cheers

Funnily enough, i was just gonna ask the exact same question. Got some cheap $hitty oil in mine at the moment and i was gonna change it tomorrow, seeing as in the other thread it mentions the best oils to use. Anyway, nice 1!

still wanna know which is the best for my 1.6 cvh? I looked at the other thread but assumed it'd be different for turbos. and i'd like to know what the main advantages are? Cheerz Lads

1.6S engines - I would go looking for some 10w50 or 10w40 - nice and thick, 'cos it's gonna be getting old now. If it's quite a noisy engine, go for higher numbers (thicker), if it's really quiet, go for 10w40. Always use fully synthetic. Run it up to quite a high temperature and drain the oil.
Keep a washing up bowl full of cold water and a large damp towel nearby in case you end up with a face load of 150C oil...

Cheers mate!! I think i'll go for the 40 cos my engines not that loud, so i'll do that as soon as i can find out about discount!
