PeeWee Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 For a friend who has the manual stating 5w40, I was wondering if this is like our escorts that realistically need 5w30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Get what the manual says. It'll be fine on either of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Cheers! I was just thinking of the escort thing and the requirement for 5w30 rather than 10w40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 they do tend to sound like a broken sewing machine when new so I would recommend sticking with 5w 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The spec is 5w20 or 5w30 if unavailable or for top-up. Realistically anything will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeWee Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) ok cheers, I'll tell him to go for the 5w30 that should cover it ta.It's for a full service with a flush and refill. Edited June 16, 2013 by PeeWee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 5w30 is probably all you'd get at the Ford parts counter anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
