I know this discussion is in numerous posts/topics, but i'v trawled through many of them and cant come up with a straight answer.

I am going to change the oil and filters over the weekend and needed some advice on which oil to use? the manual states 5w-30 913-B spec, but is this fully synthetic or semi-synthetic?

I called my local dealer to ask what their recommendation is, and he stated 5w-40!! plus they only sell it in 1ltr top ups.

So which is it?

Thanks in advance.

Ford does not state semi or full synthetic, the choice is yours as long as it has Ford specification 913B and semi reaches that specification (as does full)

Go for Castrol Magnatec 5-30.Green container. It's Fully synthetic and shouldn't cost the earth. About low to mid twenty's for your 4l....so why not get two for your quantity and you'll have 2 or 3 litres left over for the future. Top ups etc. Our site sponsor would probably be a good option. Whether you would get your goods for your weekend change is possibly borderline?

I made a call to LandRover Customer Care, and they told me to use 5w-30 fully synthetic.

Not stocked by my local petrol station.....I just checked oil level after 4500 miles from new, needs a half top up. Previous car owned from first service never needed a top up, I guess its early miles consumption..... Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
