Mine just hit 200,000 kms on Saturday.
I have an engine oil question....I want this car to keep running nice for at least another 200K.
You guys with 200K + on your Foci, what are you using for engine oil?
I was using FL400S filters and Motorcraft 5W20.
This last oil change (at 198K), I went with a Wix 51315 oil filter (The FL2005 equivalent) and conventional 5W30 (Formula 1 by Motormaster = Shell?? ).
Since I do longer highway driving now (to and from work), I decided to switch up to a 5W30 as opposed to the 5W20.
So, what grade conventional or synthetic oil do you higher KM owners use?
