alright chaps.what oil should my 1.6 zetec engine have.cheers
What does Ford recommend? Treat this as a minimum spec. and go from there.
I suggest that everyone goes fully synthetic - synthetic oils are superior in every way to both blended and 100% mineral oils..
Consider when the car was made, and that its handbook was printed some time ago.
So take anything contained therein on a historical basis only.
Oil technology moves on.
It had been flushed it just didn't like the fully synthetic stuff. It was the same weight just fully synthetic.
