  • Ford Escort 1.3 Endura-E Oil 12 May 2003 (Forum)
    I am a little confused as to which oil to use in my Ford Escort 1.3 Endura (1997). Handbook with car says 5/30 ford spec oil as does Haynes Manual, however Halfords application sheet gives oil as 10/40. As this is basically an old design engine I would of thought 10/40 or 15/40 would be the oil
