Its for a Ford Puma 1.7 VCT.Its whats recommended for the engine.

Its not Asda's own brand oil tho Mark.

They were selling Castrol GTX for 10quid too but didnt have any 5w30.

Its only recommended because thats what they used for emissions testing.. 10w40 would be safer.

Not sure what the deal is with castrol these days but it used to be rammed with detergent not really good for older engines.. Cheaper stuff tends to have less additives in it and is better for older engines.

Ford have recommended 5w30 semi on pretty much every engine they made for about the last million years. Id stick to that but going to a 10 wont make any difference.
