Lowrcase Posted January 2, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 2, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
