Currently using Castrol Edge 0w40, my local Ford dealer uses Mobil 1 and I'm considering using them as they are just around the corner.

I've run the 10W40 Nulon in mine since 3k and it seems to like it. I change at 7,500 maximum though. Good value in the six litre container. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/93477-oils-aint-oils/page/45/#findComment-1227966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
