Is anyone else using this oil in your Zetec?
I changed to it from whatever Mobil product
the dealer had used and found that my engine
now revs cleanly to redline. Previously it would get all wooly after approx 5500.

Apparently the valves weren't working correctly, I suspect that the dealer used
oil that was too thick.

The Havoline Energy 5W30 was tested in Australia and found to offer up to 6%
gains in fuel economy, it is also used by
one or more of the V8 supercar race teams
here as well as a Formula One team.

I like it and will continue to use it.
