defo go with 5w/30, thats what ford recommend for all there zetec and duratec engined cars. the 5w/30 oil from ford is semi-synthetic, when i did an oil and filter change the other week, i used Mobil One 5w/30 fully synthetic.

Yea. Defo guna go for a decent brand like tht. Castrol seems easier got in my town than mobile however.

I checked out fordparts uk and ther service kit works out about £60 or so. Going to o into the local ford dealer to price things and see who comes out cheaper.

Still thinking of going for a k&n air filter mind you.
