Hi All, Since Ive had my puma Ive always followed the instructions on various sites for the oil spec, currently I use Shell hx7 semi synth as it seemed to be the oil that met all of the necessary requirements using this - as my guide https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=138

However I was wondering, If there was a general consensus on the best oil for the 1.7? Ive searched for the original ford formula e semi synth. Cant get it. Is it better to stick with Semi Synth or to go fully synth and use Ford Formula f?

Ive read in various places that the engine needs/prefers semi synth and I want to give Pumie only the best!

Many thanks,
 
This came up a lot when Ford first stopped doing E, the recommendation from Fords and Opies Oils was that F is a suitable replacement.
 
Ah ok then thanks for the quick reply! Going fully synth is ok then? Seemed alot of peoplee were stressing the importance of semi?

Cheers!
 
It's widely debated but we've had a number of references to it you can have a look at:
