Default Oil and Oil Filter 2011 Focus LW Diesel

Hi everyone,
What oil are you running in the diesels? And where can you buy the filters from, or does everyone get their filters from the dealers.
My filter appears to be the cartridge type according to RYCO website but want to be sure.

My other car is a '95 MK3 Golf and it was easy to find parts online or locally.


Thanks, and looking forward to the discussions here.

Get mine from Bursens or Repco The diesel cartridge is not cheap like the spin on oil filters for the more common makes

I have my eye on Penrite HPR Diesel 5 Engine Oil - 5W-40 for oil, is that fine?

Penrite's lube chart says that is OK for your car.

I would be cautious about changing the fuel filter as the diesel needs to be bled to get air out of the line or it will not start.

Just oil filter, not fuel filter.
