5-30w fully synthetic. youll require at least 4.5 litres for full oil change and an oil filter aswell. http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&safe=off&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=5+30+fully+synthetic+oil&oq=5+30+ful&gs_l=hp.3.0.0l2j0i30l2j0i8j0i8i30l5.1635.9664.1.12342.12.10.0.2.2.0.208.1014.7j2j1.10.0.les%3B..1.0...1c.1.QQtpEzKm1s4&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=fd40504ec8c9002b&biw=1280&bih=640

I just looked it up on ECP and it gives what I stated with the odd 5w30 fully synth thrown in. Have you previously looked up a Ford on ECP as it seems that the cookies retain things. I just did and now it is only showing 5w30, cleared cookies and it is now showing the 10w40 and 5w40. Last time I used ECP site it couldn't come up with the correct oil for a Focus !!

And apparently mine needs 5w-40 oil (in an old diesel); which is a load of bol$%ox...

why do people ask questions on here when the answer would have been easily found on google or by going to halfords

Go to the Unipart website, tick what part you want (including oil) and enter your reg number in the box, and it will bring up what oil you need.

Unipart are much cheaper than Halfords.

Does the car being grey influence the grade of oil it requires?

you will need to get grey coloured oil for a grey car
