Hi All
After reading the topic on engine oil i am very very confused as to which oil to use in my 24v cosworth.
I am about to do my first oil change and would greatly appreciate if other 24v owners could let me know which engine oil they use.
Cheers
Andy

Hi Dave
Sorry no idea. Only owned the car for 40 days.

I still believe Mobil 1 to be THE best oil bar none. But as long as you use a branded FULLY Synthetic oil and change it regularly (every 4000 miles seems good) along with a quality oil filter (i.e MUST have a non return valve) you can't go far wrong.

I agree - mine has had Mobil 1 in it virtually all of its life, i took it to a Ford dealership when i first got it and they tried to put semi synthetic in it , i had to insist on fully synthetic!!!!

Hi Andy,

Why MUST it be synthetic? I've been using Magnatec in mine. Mobil 1 is horrendously expensive.
