You're over thinking it, it's not a high performance engine, it just needs a reasonable quality 5w/30 semi-synthetic oil, and change it fairly often

Thank you for the reply’s. Just rang my local Ford this morning, asking as it meets m2c913-d they said it’s fine.

Note: you may have quite a struggle to take the oil filter off. I found it quite difficult myself and I've been at it for a lifetime. oil filter is large , my strap wrench was too small , my geared oil filter grabber was too small ..ended up using large stiltsen type adjustable.

all the best..mark
