Default Re: Oil change

Sounds like they're even more confused than we are.

The basic problem is that Ford specify the wrong oil. It should be a mid-SAPS oil meeting ACEA C2 or C3, but instead they specify a petrol / non-DPF diesel oil.

Peugeot specify a C2 oil for the same engine in their cars.

The oil manufacturers are never going to go against the Ford spec, but I'd love to know what they really think.

I used to have regular DPF regens using the Ford recommended Castrol oil. I can't remember the last regen - maybe a year ago?
