    You can use any oil make/brand so long as the grade of the oil is the same.

    However I always use the recommended oil by Ford and have recently been recommended by main dealer near me to use Castrol which I intend to use on the next oil and filter change!

    Nothing wrong with Castrol, it is just over priced and over hyped. IMO.;)

    Oh and it comes in those 4 litre bottles instead of the normal 5 litre ones.

    Yes, I know this is my prblem each time.

    As I have a engine that takes 4.5 litres it means I have to buy another bottle, which sometimes is over half the cost of a 4 litre bottle :eek:

    I use it because I trust it, even at the cost it is, engine oil is one thing not to go cheap on unless you have a Skoda ;)

    A Skoda is a far better car than most of the rest of the Euro junk.

    Castrol is no better than many of the less costlier oils.
