Title: How much oil?
Post by Waglet on Jan 9^th, 2009, 2:14pm

I've been searching the 'manual' and am unable to find out how much oil I'll need when they change the oil in the 24V next week. Can you advise the quantity required please? I ask this because that Magnatec is pretty expensive and I'd hate to buy too much! Also what “rating” should I use? (10W-40, 5W-30?) Thanks

Funny, here in my local car supply store, the original Ford Magnatec 5W30 comes in 5 liter bottles, and is a lot cheaper (under 30 euros) compared to 4 liter + 1 liter of Mobil 1 of the same grade (almost 50 euros all together).

Thanks gents. So is 5W-30 best for a 24V?

I would say so, it being a high performance engine. I put 5W30 even in my other car, an Octavia II.

5w30 is best. If you're going for Magnatec its now sold in 4l bottles now - might just be enough even though the book says you'll need 4.5l for a cosworth
