I bought my car at 37000kms I have had no service books. It is coming up to service time at 85000kms having been serviced at 10000km intervals up until the last 1 that was at 15000km. Of course give or take a 1000. I have a few questions now.
1.In the past I have serviced all my cars. Only thing I havent done is transmission services. So will the car be looked at in a bad light if I do the service myself come sell time? 2. Given I have no service books is it possible for anybody with a scanner to scan a few pages so that I know what I need to do for each service. This would be greatly appreciated. 3. Does anybody have any recommendation for a decent priced oil. For example in the past I have had bad results with the BA with Penrite. This lead to a stuck lifter so have no only used Magnatec. Good priced seems to work well. SO what do people recommend for a Mondeo diesel.

I'm not 100% sure will have to check if its before or after 6/08, didnt realise the cambelt needed changing at 100000kms. When I was looking into them I was told by the local Ford dudes I was told otherwise. Wouldnt suprise me as they had only seen 2 MC's when I had asked.

Thanks again russ but turns out my diesel is an 09/08 build. So I'm hoping that that means the timing belt will be later.
