Bongo Fury

5w/30 is that the correct engine oil for my Ford Freda 2.5 td thanks.

Pretty sure it is, and it must be suitable for EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) unless it is blanked off.

Thanks Bob.

Thought it was 10W30 but can use 10W40 in the UK no problem.

I use 5W30 as I do a lot of short runs, works for me.

I've asked questions before about oil, but another question just popped up;

I have 2.5 TD, should I get B1 or B5, or will A1 or A5 be ok for Bongo.., what about C. so many questions.

I seem to be getting a bit obsessed with oil!

this may help. use your reg to find your oil. it actually knows what a bongo is. . look at the service interval.

it gives the spec of the selected product listed.

scroll down to find other compatible oils and antifreeze for your bongo too.

Castrol and Comma both recommended 5w-30 or 10w-40 for the WLT engine, Depending on the mileage/age and condition of your engine.Over 50000/60000 miles I would go for the latter.
