   I have some 'carlube 5w30 apisl/cf acea a1/b1 ford m2c 913a/b' semi synthetic oil and it says 'carlube 5w30 is a semi synthetic engine oil manufactured to the api sl/cf specification, giving maximum performance with unrivalled protection from cold start to high temperature driving. Suitable for the ford zetec and duratorq engines and other modern engines requiring a low viscosity oil including petrol and light/medium diesels, both naturally aspirated and turbocharged. My question is, can I use this oil in my mk2 02 plate saxo vtr?

   Basically no dude. You need a slightly thicker grade which is 5w-40.

   Thanks pal, can you recommend a good oil that will whiten the tappy noise too, and I do a lot of long distance driving
