Hi,
Just had an oil and filter change done on the Yaris at National Tyres with Synthetic oil for £25.
The oil they used was Duckhams QXR 5w-30 for Ford zetec engines.
Their advert mentioned visco 7000 which I know is synthetic. Can anyone confirm that the Duckhams is synthetic
Thanks,
Mark

I use National for my VW Bora's oil and filter changes.
The £10 version is normal multigrade, the £15 one is semi-synthetic (which I use) and the £25 choice is fully synthetic.
The service is excellent value for money and I find that the National Centre staff I use will also fill up an oil container for topping up purposes (and so that you also get the full five litres which the price includes).
The staff take about half-an-hour to do the change as they are very thorough and let all the old oil drain away completely first.
Ford's Zetec engines specifically require the 5-30 viscosity synthetic oil as otherwise there is a danger of the valves sticking and causing damage. It was a known recall/advice shortly after the Zetec engines became available.
