Can someone tell me the best oil to get for a 1.8 zetec casue when i get my new car in jan i want to do an oil change and someone told me you should only use one type of oil in a zetec.<br><br>cheeRS

[rs van dan]

I think is 10w 30

[Andy_XR2i]

wouldn't bother with 10-30, 5-30 is much better for them.

well said sir<br><br>avoid supermarket fuel too - zetecs carbon up faster than

In my RS1800 i use Castrol formula RS 0w-40<br>fully synthetic with fully synthetic slick50<br>and its fantastic,your engine will perrrrrrr

[Paul Taylor]

Surely Mobil 1 15w-50 Fully Synthetic Oil has got to be the gear to use!<br><br>If it's good enough for the Maclaren Formula One team and Boeing 777 aircraft, then it's definitely good enough for any roadcar without a shadow?

[Andy_XR2i]

yeah, but my fiesta engine aint made by Pratt & Whitney! LOL <br><br>The zetec needs a faily low viscosity oil at both hot and cold temperatures to help prevent sticking valves in the cylinder head. Although on the early models this was a bit of a problem, it can be helped grately by using a 5w oil. Agree with the fully synthetic though.

0w-40?? doesn't that piss out of every oil seal it can find?? I heard some bad reports on this stuff but you rate it yeah?

[Excursion]

0W-30 is just too thin for a Ford engine for now - maybe in a few years when engineering tolerances have decreased a bit.

[snake]

We use Castrol 5w-30(mineral) at work and is recommended by ford. I`ve stripped engine with 100000 miles on then and there is hardly any wear in the engine, bores are near perfect. 0W-40 should be o.k as zetecs are pretty oil tight. Depends on how hard you thrash the engine!!<br><br>

[HAMMER26]

Listen lads its all about vescosity wright<br>0w-40 is probably about the best oil there<br>is to put in your motor,and it doesnt piss out of oil seal's because they shoudnt leek anyway and us with slick 50 is perrrrrrrrfect<br>make sure you use fully synthetic
