It runs cooler with Edge 0w40 and a little cooler again with the 10w60. If u are doing longish hard runs the 10w60 loves it

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 17/10/11 11:16 AM Posted 17/10/11 11:16 AM With the tolerances these motors have I would worry more about the 5 than the 60.I like the edge and it comes at a good price.Some have more detergent beads (nulon) and some have more coolant beads. Oils aint oils

It used to be the Castrol TWS 10w60 (an SJ spec) for BMW M models, and the Castrol Edge 10w60 and the Castrol Edge Sport 10w60, but now it seems they have brought out a new one to combine all in an SN spec.
blue_xr6 Member 40 Member For: 17y 11m 14d Posted 29/10/11 05:59 AM Posted 29/10/11 05:59 AM I am planning to change oil for my fg xr6t. After reading this thread, I am a bit confused as different people use different oils. I will stick wt Castrol Edge fully synthetic as it is recommended by Ford. However, between 0W40 and 10W60, I'm still confused which one is used. Can anyone explain to me what the meaning of these 2 numbers. I don't drive my car hard all the times (just occasionally). Someone say 10W60 is too thick and only needed under hard driving while others says 0W40 is too thin and the turbo needs thicker engine. So which one is better for everyday driving?In the factory manual, they recommended 15W40 for XR6T (there's no synthetic oil at this grade), but for the XR8, they recommended 15W40 for the first 15000K then 0W40 thereafter. Should the turbo use the same engine with the V8?
