Guest newl Guests Posted 29/09/06 06:16 AM Share Posted 29/09/06 06:16 AM Running 0W40 here as well since the 30k service (noticable difference) and that's what the dealer uses as well (though cheaper to provide own if you shop around).

Motor became noisier than usual.. Noisier than usual to me means wear....I think Ninka has expressed exactly what I was trying to say and its great knowing I can drop back to a longer interval between changes..Ninka.. Do you know of any other filter for the Typhoon other than motorcraft... I thought they run the same filter as the GT but apparently they dont.... Has something to do with the larger oil cooler and volumn / flow....

It's only 0 weight at startup, when cold.Anyhoo, I think either oil for the T engine is a good choice Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93477-oils-aint-oils/page/10/#findComment-442628 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xr6 Member 96 Member For: 20y 3m 17d Posted 29/09/06 01:50 PM Share Posted 29/09/06 01:50 PM The 0W-40 sounds like a good choice for a stock engine. But the 10W-60 would give more protection to a modded engine. The key thing is that the oil is thin enough at startup, which 10W certainly is.I use the 5W-30 Edge in my NA XR6 - seems good, and has improved fuel consumption compared to the 15W-40 dino oil that my Ford dealer put in at the last service.
