I own a Ford Focus MK2 since 2007. Now I want to service it myself. I plan getting this service kit:

1. Anybody heard of this FRAM parts or can recommend something alternative?
2. As for the oil now. From 2008 till last year I've had the oil changed by Ford. They've been using a new 4 liter oil every time and they were only fitting about 3-3.5 liters in the engine. The were giving the rest of it to me. And so, I have collected about 4 liters of unused oil that some of it is from 2008, some from 2009 .. and some from 2012. Do you think this oil is OK for me to use now, or should I discard it and purchase a new one?
