5w30 (is what ford would put in) or 10W40 or 15w40 (15W40 could make it a little more difficult to start when cold)

MT75 Oil

EP90 or EP80/90
Lucas Laser 2000/IDS
95 Pre Production DRW TD Highcube
95 Hallmark
96 150 100PS LWB Hi-Top
96 Autosleeper Duetto
06 Mk7 (scrap)
09 140PS T330S 2.2

Gaffa tape is like the force, it has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together

You still haven't got the semi-synthetic\mineral oil thing down though Matt, makes a big difference.
