twiggly Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Hello everyone, just hoping someone could tell me where I can find out what type of oil to put in my car. It's a 1.3 petrol 2001 Ford Fiesta I've had a look online but can't seem to find it and I don't have the car's manual to tell me what I should put in it! Any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiggly Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Thanks! I've just had a look back over the documents and it's a 1299 CC engine, does that make any difference? Also is there a website to find this sort of info out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedith Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 If you go into Halfords, they have a book on the shelves which will tell you which of the Halford Brand Oil to use. Halford Oil I believe is sold to them by Castrol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 In saying that twiggly, I've absolutely no idea what grade of synthetic oil goes in my Insignia, never put any in ... you've got me thinking now ... I may take a trip to Halfords myself, ha, ha!!! Mine takes about 500ml every 1k miles. I think any 5w30 synthetic would be fine twiggly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
