Thanks for all the info,
Just to confirm - my transit is a 260 2l diesel.
5w30 Semi synthetic - is the correct type to get? Should it be ford branded or should I look out for any specific makes?
Any brand as long as it is to Ford spec
OK so please could you specify the difference between Ford spec and non ford motor co. Oil

There is a bit of an oil leek you see; as I have been told fully synthetic oil is for newer engines and will leek on older engines
That is why the cheep 10/40 thick stuff says it is for engines over 10 years old
This is an 03 tranist
So what is the differance between tranist oil from the motor factor shop and cheep supermark brand ASDA or Tesco motor oil?
Tom Cobbles wrote:OK I see your point about using thicker oils, not lubracating not starting well
But do you think there is any difference between cheep supermarket oil and premier oils from the motor factor shop (same thickness)?
