Besides, the oil is only 1500km old... Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28107-edge-0w40-or-10w60/#findComment-427875 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend Magnatec over that stuff and its heaps cheaper. The BF T takes approx 6.6L Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/28107-edge-0w40-or-10w60/#findComment-427887 Share on other sites More sharing options...
