Default Whats the best oil to use in a Focus ST?

I bought a Focus ST Interstate and just waiting for it to arrive in Brisbane and I tried asking this in a Facebook group and most just said use the recommended in the manual, but from owning previous turbo cars like a Mazda 3 MPS, there is always better oils to use to help protect the engine, incase I want to have some excitement every now and then 😁.

Someone mentioned this oil and said it helps with turbo deposit build ups, but wondering has anyone on here used it or do you just use the recommended?

I just like to give my engine the best protection and even if its like a 5% difference, its better then none

I have a MY2021 Focus ST & agree with you re oils, I am going to give it an intermediate oil change at about 7,500km's & it took me forever to decide on an oil that I believe will do the job, I eventually decided on Castrol Magnatec Fuel Saver 5w30 it meets all the appropriate ford specifications which is important when under warranty, reading the specs shows the oil is ideal for preventing deposits in Turbo Vehicles, I would never leave oil in a Turbo car for the 15,000 km oil change interval suggested for this Vehicle, way to long no matter how good the oil supposed to be imo especially with the added heat of cooling the Turbo bearings, anyhow just my thoughts, cheers.
