There are a lot of threads on here about this. You don't want to go too thin.

I think most use 10w/40 or 10w/50 and /40 was the Ford recommendation

I used Millers "Running In Oil" for the run-in of 600 miles, flushed with some Millers mineral and then filled with Millers full sythetic range. Now using 10W50 Nanodrive.

Used to use:
Mobil 1 Motorsport 15w50 as recommended by GGR and Collins Performance when I first bought a Cossie, for me you couldn't get a better recommendation than the people who built and raced these cars.

Mobil 1 Motorsport a few years ago changed to 10w60 spec, which I ran a while.

But now reverted back to a 15w50 viscosity rating, Fuch Titan Pro R which is one of the more modern ester formula oils.

I've just bought this aswell same thickness and is red in colour quite cool,
I'd like it thicker for when it's really hot getting a spanking.

You don't need thicker, a good quality oil that doesn't break down at the temp your engine is running.

I used to use the mobil 1 15w50 and now use the 10w60 that replaced it.

Next change i might try that titan pro r stuff everyone goes on about purely because its 15w50. Will be interesting to see if the pressure changes at all on the gauge?

A lot of people used to say always use Fuchs Titan Pro S 10W50 but seems to have changed now as only 2 people saying 10W50???
