Smile brake, radiator, pwer steering fluid

I recently purchased a Mondeo 2012 MC with the petrol ecoboost engine. Was wondering where fellow owners are getting their brake, radiator and power steering fluids from for topping up that meet Ford's specs. Have rung Ford service dept for other compatible fluids but no luck there! Any input would be welcome!

I had to do the long yards and get from the service manual/book the oil specifications for everything and go hunting with that in mind. Mine is a '09 MB TDCI I try and keep it all to one shop as I don't want to drive around all over the place. If you end up making a list find a place that has it all, which often the usual guys do Stupidcheap/Autobarn/Repco/Auto1. YMMV

I pretty much settled on:

Nulon Long Life Diesel Engine Oil - 5W-30
WSS-M2C913-B (Ford oil spec or better)

Nulon Full Syn. Automatic Transmission - (AWF21)
WSS-M2C924-A

Nulon Red Long Life Concentrated Coolant
WSS-M97B44-D

Penrite - LDAS (steering)
WSS-M2C204-A (Pentosin)

Nulon Xtreme Performance Brake Fluid - Super DOT 4 (M6C55-A closest I could get)
WSS-M6C57-A

So as you can see I can get Nulon for everything except the powersteering fluid. Penrite have everything having said that and I may look into it.

Go have a look at what Penrite and Nulon suggest using their search guide.

double check the guides on specs and make a list. I've made a txt file and have it on my phone with all consumables that I need and update as I go. Handy to keep around.

Hope it helps.
