Hello
The subject says it all.
I am unsure what oil the 1.4tdci engine requires.
Does anyone know the correct specification.

My Comma book says 10w40 semi synthetic diesel oil

The oil recomendation should be in your hand book. this engine is specific to a particular type of oil. You could buy the oil from a ford dealer. When I contacted Mobil about using Mobil 1, at the time they recommended I used the oil recommended by the menufacturer only. Its a 5/30 but you need the right spec as well!

5w/30, ACEA A1/B1 for almost all modern Ford engines, including the diesels. Ford Formula E is 5w/30.

Hello
Thankyou for fixing this confusion.
I was always under the impression that diesel engines required different oil to petrol engines. This must be changing.
The last diesel car i had was a Ford Granada 2.3 D
Iam still looking at the new mondeo tdci even though i have just purchased a newer mondeo.
