I run 15w 50 Motul
or 10w60 Liqui Moly in mine, but i warm it up before using it and thrash the arse outta it as it's primarily a track car. So i want a higher heat range. I have used the Silkolene Pro S stuff too.

Focus RS bummers usually use 5w30 and 10w 40. Seems ok for a road engine, just change regular and you will be alright.
