Ok so I brought nulon 10w-40 that's what Auto barn suggested and a K&n oil filter all up 7l of oil and filter cost around $120 I was going to change the different but can't seem to find the drainer plug? Also it only took 6l of oil

I changed me oil with the exact same type(10w40 full syn nuelon) after 10 000 k's and the cars feels a hell of allot mor punchy and about 100k's better on fuel from a tank........

Guys, I bought my fg mk2 turbo new it now has 35,xxxkm on it. It's first oil change was at 7500km using penrite 10 tenths, forgot the grade 10-40 or 50. The car seemed to feel a lot more responsive but on idle it was shakey used to sh*t me. I used this oil (full syn) upto 22,500km with 2 changes. From then I had Castrol edge sport 10-60 and it ideled so smooth it was great. But under acceration it felt sluggish as if the motor was strained. 5000km after that I'm now running nulon full syn 10-40 and it feels very responsive again. But now idles roughly from time to time.. So not sure I'm happy with the nulon.

What should I run? Do my problems sound oil related? Many different mechanics and ford said they are all fine choices and not related but I'm sure they are.

Should I give it a flush and start fresh with a new oil?

Wouldn't think idle would be oil related. Clean your throttle body.
