They used Castrol Magnatec for the servicing. I was told it was the fully synthetic but I'm not 100% as the invoice only shows "Castrol Magnatec".

I'm being stung $350 for the 15,000ks service, when originally when I bought the car I was told the services at 15,000ks intervals were between $250 - $280 (hmmm, must be inflation or something ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this service I think I might consider elsewhere (provided there are no real warranty issues in the future) as I'm sure a decent mechanical shop would charge far less.

There is a magnatec that is fully synthetic but it is 5W30 I think...And yes, this was at my local Fraud dealer...Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a case of just getting what you're given unless you specify otherwise or do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know which one are the major services that 'have' to be done by ford? My mechanic says he can do most services for me, but some 'have' to be done by ford. Just wondering the reason. Cheers, well mine a little under $400.00 they did use synthetic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
