Garth Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I use Millers because that is what Northhampton Motorsport recommended when they did my rolling road. HWR swears by Royal Purple, Caterham used to recommend Comma (not sure what they do now...?) - I think you are going to get several different opinions on this! Good Luck deciding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 We all have our own preferences on oils, so long as it meets the spec your not going to go far wrong, bear in mind the Ford F is designed for fuel economy - not always a high priority for our cars.There are lots of sellers of ebay offering 5, 10 or 20Ltr packs too, we would normally be changing the oil on a far far more frequent basis than in a tin top too.All the above are great as are Castrol, Mobil & Exol, and many many more, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXOL-FULLY-SYNTHETIC-ENGINE-OIL-OPTIMA-FD-5W30-20-LTRS-FULLY-APPROVED-BY-FORD/350315058873?epid=646327425&hash=item51906796b9:g:J4wAAOSwehZaAuq-https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fuchs-TITAN-XTR-5w-30-20L-Quality-Synthetic-Engine-Oil-Ford-Land-Rover-Renault/132220111250?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D225114%26meid%3D7b9fbb3828564301b609dca37ba26cc9%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpf%26sd%3D350315058873%26itm%3D132220111250%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithSearchFilter%26brand%3DFuchs&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851I use Exol 10w/60 in my Duratec and the same brand in our tintops too and have done for the last 15 years.

DJ. Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 My Sigma has done 42,000 miles using Mobil 1 5w30. Still runs well and doesn't use any oil, I drive it quite hard and do a couple of track sessions a year. Duncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylvaman Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Yes DJ i looked at getting Mobile 1 . Then saw a tag on the car saying Castrol, so looked at what was about; Bought 5l of Castrol Edge Professional Longlife 5w 30. From ebay at discounted price ....I think ... £32 incl post). It's a Vw dealership in Lancs selling stock. I also saw Fuch Titan ? very very reasonably priced , though not sure what its like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
