No wonder you know its been done right then? I have seen a guy with a Tornado rock up to the local Ford dealers with 2 bottles of Penrite SIN0 in the front seat expecting that to be used instead of the standard shop oil. It made me wonder who's car it ended up with at the time.You hadn't indicated that you changed it yourself ( I know you said you do them but I thought you meant supply them after taking into account the previous few posts) so I had visions of you doing the same.

Mines due for its 30,000km service and I'm unsure if I should take it to ford, or just do the oil and filter myself and let them do the rest..

BarKer Member 174 Member For: 15y 7m 3d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 04/01/10 07:17 AM Share Posted 04/01/10 07:17 AM I booked mine in today for its 15K servicing, told them I do my own oil-changes and the reply was from the service manager that it wasn't a problem so long I used the right oil (no mention of any specific brand) and used a genuine Ford Oil Filter..I would be looking at Ultra-tune and the like, but I want to make sure all the software is up to date on it.

Posted 04/01/10 07:37 AM Share Posted 04/01/10 07:37 AM Its fine with warranty as long as you use correct oil and filter as stated above. Go see the Ford parts guys and get a filter. Should be $9, and make sure you get an A4 invoice. I staple the receipt for my oil to the invoice and record the kilometres and store it in the log book.

Used to (a long, long time ago) run Mobil 1 in a '86 VL Calais Turbo and was happy with it but will check out some other brands now..
