stevie m Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 last time I looked formula-e was not specified to 505.01 which is specified for the vw pd engines Mine is a pd engine isn't it ? It does say VW somewhere on it i have seen it. If the dealers have sold me that oil and it's wrong i won't be happy. Although it is fords so i should expect them to know b****r all about the cars they sell ! (you can just tell i ain't happy !) :D Quote
NikpV Posted March 1, 2008 Report Posted March 1, 2008 the only oil ford stock for the pd engine is formula sd so I guess they gave you the wrong one dont think it i even the correct viscosity range !! (think formula E is 5w30 and formula sd is 5w40 - from memory only dont quote me) Quote
