    Edge 0W-40 or SHU 5W-40?

    I am struggling to convince myself of the correct answer here, so any advice would be appreciated. I have a few Focus RS (Mk2 and Mk3) and I look after a few Focus and Mondeo with the Volvo T5 engine. All call for Ford WSS-M2C937-A 0W-40. I’ve used Edge 0W-40 in these forever, but it’s...

    Gulf Western (Australia) 10W-40 SP/C3 Protecta Universal

    Just changed the oil in our 2011 Volvo S80 3.0L T6 with this stuff as it was on sale and I’ve been trying a bunch of different oils in it to see what it likes best. Comes in a 10L drum too which is nice considering this engine takes 8.5L if you let it drain long enough. The main reason I wanted...

    Castrol Edge 0W-40 SP

    I have a small workshop in Melbourne, Australia and I specialise in Focus XR5/ST/RS (as well as Fiesta ST and Mondeo XR5), so I use a lot of Castrol Edge 0W-40, as that is one of the few oils which meets Ford WSS-M2C937-A, required for the Volvo 5cyl in the Focus XR5, Mondeo XR5 and LV Focus RS...

    2016 Volvo XC70 D5

    Hello there My 2016 XC70 D5 (2.4L 5cyl twin-turbo diesel) calls for a 0W-30 A5/B5 oil and I have been using Castrol Edge Professional A3 0W-30 for the last three OCIs. As I’ve nearly emptied the 20L drum of this oil, I’m looking at what to buy for its next oil change. Should I stick to this...

    Belt In Oil (BIO) and Oil Spec

    Hello! How important is oil spec in regards to a belt-in-oil driven oil pump as in the Ford 1.5L 3cyl ‘Dragon’ EcoBoost? This engine has a timing chain, but a belt-driven oil pump. The oil pump belt runs in the oil in the sump. Ford calls for a 5W-20 WSS-M2C960-A1 but I’d love to run a 5W-30...

    Oil-burning Volvo T6 SI6

    Hello all, happy new year! (It’s already 2023 here in Australia) My mum’s daily is a 2011 Volvo S80 T6 which has the 3.0L turbo six. It has 185,000km on the clock (~115,000mi) and we only bought it recently with just under 180,000km on the odo. I’m aware the 2011s are known for oil consumption...

    2021 Ford Fiesta ST 1.5L EcoBoost – M2C-960A1

    Long-time lurker, first-time posting here.

The Focus RSs both use Castrol Edge Professional...
