I need to change the oil in my diesel Titanium, so can I just get a simple yes or no to the following oils:
Fuchs Titan Pro Flex SAE 5W-30
Fuchs Titan Supersyn F Eco-FE SAE 0W-30 (this is what is recommended on the Fuchs website)
Nulon C3
Penrite C3 or C4 (note - the Penrite website recommends the use of their DPF cleaner every time you fill your tank) |
Best to follow Ford's specification, particularly under warranty.
My interest in this thread is mainly to do with conflicting statements from
vehicle manufacturers and oil mixers regarding DPFs, as a has been outlined previously.
For me it's not a good idea to offer advice, better to ask questions.
Mondeos are great cars, (IMHO, if I'm not mistaken etc etc).
Another thing to bear in mind is that wear additives may not be fully compatible,
for example zinc and molybdenum, so swapping oils at random MAY not be ideal.
If in doubt, follow Ford.
Unfortunately Ford and the oil manufacturers appear not to agree. IMHO.
Regarding dpf fuel additives, I'm not a fan.
To throw the most expensive element after gold (platinum, according to the msds) onto the streets just seems silly to me.
