Chopdog New Member 15 Member For: 14y 4m 26d Posted 28/09/11 11:40 PM Share Posted 28/09/11 11:40 PM Hey guys, I was told to use fully synthetic oil in the turbs by my machanic so I was getting prices on castrol edge 0w-40 and they were around the $70 mark for 5L. I rang Ford to see how much their oil was and was told $31.50 for 5L????? When I questioned the price difference I was told they dont use a fully synthetic oil as you dont need too. The service guy said either oil is fine as long as you stick with either synthetic or mineral and dont chop and change.What do you guys reckon Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77127-fg-xr6t-oil/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for full syn or semi just pay the money and go full I reckon.

Have read storied of how 'chattery' the top end sounds running this weight oil. I run the nulon 10-40W and it loves it. No nasty noises on start up - doesn't burn a drop.
