Mine is a Territory SZ MkII (Petrol), but I guess this is similar for other current models:
The Service book advises engine oil spec "For optimum fuel economy use 5W-30" oil. Has anyone ever asked what oil would be best "For optimum Engine Life"? Just asking. I can't find any other spec in the book for operation in high temp or continuous long distance driving, or even after the engine reaches a higher mileage. I really think Ford should spell this out and let the owner choose if they would sacrifice a smidgin of economy to obtain a percentage increase in engine life. Any opinions - or actual knowledge of slightly higher viscosities to be beneficial?
