Wrong oil?

NornIron91 · Feb 22, 2017

This is the stuff they use, notice that it says "For Ford Ecoboost Engines." I assume that's why they called it Ecoboost oil.

Have you checked your oil since the service?

Out of interest, i assume this was done at the Leeds Ford dealership where we got ours from? Just checking what i should expect them to want in payment in a month or so when i will get mine done. Did you wait while they did it, or did they give you a loaner?

Cheers

About £220 all in. That's about £30 in parts, £150 for 1.5 hours labour! + VAT

Great, so now I'm satisfied that Ford have probably put the right oil in, but worried they haven't put enough in!

Best check the level tomorrow.

Taste it, if it tastes all manly and full of win it's GT oil, if it tastes of unicorns and rainbows it's ecoboost oil

Unicorns are rare and epic creatures... Men, well... they have feminazi's who hate them ;)!

I live by what the shell lubmatch website says. If you select the ecoboost. it recommends 5w30 and if you choose GT then it recommends 5w20.

if im still unsure ill look at the codes of the oils. I trust shell though, these guys know what they are talking about.
