Lowrcase Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I'm doing an oil change today & know the oil I need is 5w30 but what I don't know is there's loads of different variation like A5, C4, C5 & such like. What is the one for the 350? Some say ideal for VW or Ford but despite looking for weeks I can not get a definitive answer. I don't know what the difference between the codes are & don't wanna put the wrong one in. Thanks for any help in advance. Quote
Ekona Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 That's just manufacturer-specific codes, they mean nothing in reality. Just buy a decent 5w-30 fully synth and you'll be fine. Pretty much anything will do, apart from Magnatec which goes like sex on a boat* when warm, *F*cking near water Quote
