Although it's a manual, it needs an ATF fluid and the best options are the Amsoil ATF, Red Line D4 or Fuchs ATF6000, although the others are fine as cheaper alternatives.

Hi

Oops, sorry, I missed the bit about diffs. The ATF isn't suitable for that, you want a SAE 90 LS oil like the Fuchs Titan Race Gear 90LS, Shell TS90 or Motul 90PA.

Hi Terry

You need an oil that meets the BMW LL98, LL01 or LL04 specification.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-684-bmw-longlife-98.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-685-bmw-longlife-01.aspx
http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-686-bmw-longlife-04.aspx

The oils are all good oils as they need to be to meet the BMW specification, so take your pick based on any price/brand preference you have, although if it burns at lot of oil, go for one of the 5w-40s.

Cheers

Tim

Any idea how hot the oil gets in the Focus when driven hard?

I would use a 5w-40 synthetic in the Cosworth.

http://www.opieoils.co.uk/c-656-5w-40.aspx

Out of those, the best ones are the Fuchs/Silkolene Pro S, Millers CFS/CFS NT, Motul 300V, Redline and Gulf Competition. The Motul 8100 X-Cess, Millers XF Longlife, Fuchs GT1 XTL/Supersyn, Gulf Formula G, Shell Helix and Mobil Super 3000 are good, cheaper alternatives.

Although it's a manual, it needs an ATF fluid and the best options are the Amsoil ATF, Red Line D4 or Fuchs ATF6000, although the others are fine as cheaper alternatives.
