Due to frequently arising questions about which engine oil to use for a particular Ford engine, we decided to outline in a detailed but quite concise form an algorithm for choosing the right engine oil for the legendary Ford brand. Motor Company Limited."

On Ford example Transis we will look at which oil should be used for your Ford. However, if you are the owner of: C-MAX, Focus, S-MAX, Escort, Granada, Scorpio, Taunus, Escape, Fusion, Mondeo, Tourneo, Aspire, Orion, Taurus, Explorer, Galaxy, B-Max, Probe, Sierra, Fiesta, Kuga, KA (C Max, Focus, S Max, Escort, Granada, Scorpio, Taunus, Escape, Fusion, Mondeo, Torneo, Aspira, Orion, Taurus, Explorer, Galaxy, B Max, Proba, Sierra, Fiesta, Kuga , Ka) - This information will also be useful to you.

So, the first thing I want to discuss is Ford’s TOLERANCES, which are found in our latitudes and are regulated in the operating instructions for your car. Yes, yes, exactly in the instructions, and not in the electronic selection of oil on the website of any manufacturer motor oils. And this is primarily due to the fact that often these selections are disingenuous, recommending incorrectly selected positions due to a complex and confusing system of approvals and compliance.

WSS-M2C913-A

WSS-M2C913-B- SAE 5W-30 - ILSAC GF-2, ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 + additional Ford requirements

WSS-M2C913-С- SAE 5W-30 - ILSAC GF-2, ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 + > energy saving properties + biodiesel.

WSS-M2C913-D- SAE 5W-30 - ILSAC GF-2, ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 + energy-saving properties, + biodiesel, + the ability to use high-sulfur fuel (except Ford Ka TDCi until 2009 and Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDi 2000-2006 onwards)

In this category of tolerance approvals, the higher the letter value, the more modern. As a rule, oils approved by WSS-M2C913-D automatically meet the requirements of WSS-M2C913-A, WSS-M2C913-B, WSS-M2C913-C.

WSS-M2C917-A- SAE 5W-40, equipped with a pump injector, ACEA A3B4 + often ACEA C3 (oil ash - since it is often equipped particulate filter).

WSS-M2C934-A- SAE 5W-30, ACEA A5B5, C1 (low ash)

WSS-M2C934-B- SAE 5W-30, ACEA A5B5, C1 (low ash) + > energy saving properties

WSS-M2C937-A– SAE 0W-40, especially for Ford Focus RS.

WSS-M2C948-B- SAE 5W-20, for the EcoBoost line of engines (also all gasoline engines, except Ford Ka, Focus ST, Focus RS)

WSS-M2C950-A- SAE 0W-30, for Duratorq-TDCI engines 1.5 l, 1.6 l and 2.0 l Ford Mondeo.

We hope that in this description You will not have any questions, but once again we focus your attention on the following:

The oil must meet approval requirements, or better yet, be approved by Ford itself.

WSS-M2C913-D automatically overlaps and surpasses M2C913-A, B, C.

If it is not possible to purchase Ford-approved oil, in exceptional cases you can use oils that meet parallel specifications: ILSAC, ACEA, SAE (from the above list).

ORIGINAL OILS

In Ukraine, “original” oils are often represented by three positions:

5w-30 Formula E - withdrawn from the range and replaced by "Formula F"

5w-30 Formula F – ACEA A5B5; WSS-M2C913-C(B,A)

5w-40 Formula S/SD - ACEA A3/B4, C3; API – SM/CF; WSS-M2C917-A

10w-40 Formula Plus - ACEA A3/B4, A3/B4; API SL/CF.

Comparing original oils with the GENESIS line, one can come to the conclusion that often the latter exceeds or fully matches the characteristics of the “original”. It’s up to you to judge the difference in price;)

IMPORTANT POINTS you need to know:

Ford prohibits the use of any additional additives in the engine. Otherwise, this may lead to motor failure.

In some cases (but not all), Ford prohibits the use of oils with a viscosity of SAE 10w-40 at temperatures environment less than -20 °C (or rather, start the engine at a temperature below the specified one)

Should be paid Special attention to the abbreviation ACEA C3 in your manual. It is rare, but it happens that Ford regulates the use of oil with WSS M2C917-A approval, which in its essence does not have to be “ACEA C3”, and below they make a note: “Use of products with specifications below ACEA standards C3 may cause engine damage that is not covered under warranty." Indeed, there are many oils with WSS-M2C917-A approval and ACEA A3/B4 compliance, etc. And this is largely due not only to the presence of the so-called “pump injector”, but also to the presence of a particulate filter in the car.

To summarize, with an eye to sufficient high level representation of Ford vehicles in the field of small commercial vehicles(namely Transit, Connect, Tourneo models). We would like to draw your attention to the following, important historical fact:

LUKOIL Georgia, the official distributor of TM LUKOIL in Georgia, supplies LUKOIL oil GENESIS A5/B5 SAE 5W-30 to the largest carrier Tbilisi Minibus CJSC, carrying out more than 90% passenger transportation in Georgia. The company's vehicle fleet consists of more than 3,000 units of modern FORD TRANSIT minibuses 2013-2014. release."

Specially designed for diesel engines Ford engines. Passed a series of tests at Ford and received WSS-M2C913-D approval.

Specification Ford WSS-M2 C 913 D was released in 2012. It replaced the existing ones Ford specifications WSS-M2 C 913 C and 913 B, the requirements of which were oriented towards the current ACEA A5/B5 or A1/B1. With the advent of the new specification, increased requirements began to be placed on oils that must meet the requirements of the new approval.

During the development of the Ford WSS-M2 C 913 D specification, the following additional requirements were introduced and tests were carried out in comparison with ACEA:

• General base number TBN>10 (A5/B5 only TBN>8)
• Ford special test for chain abrasion
• Daimler oxidation test according to DIN 51453
• ROBO-Test according to ASTM D 7528 or Seq. IIIGA per ASTM D 7320
• Additional tests on the effect on sealing materials

Oils with the WSS-M2C 913D specification have an improved formulation compared to oils produced according to ACEA A5 requirements

B5 and have a lower viscosity, which saves fuel. Thanks to the prescribed Ford test oxidation, it was found that to prevent rapid aging of the oil, it is necessary to add special antioxidant additives, which increases engine life compared to oils of previous Ford specifications.

RAVENOL FDS 5W-30 is recommended for use in car engines where full ash Full SAPS motor oil with ACEA A5/B5 specification is recommended, for example Mazda, Land Rover, Volvo, Toyota, KIA, Hyundai.

Not used in vehicles in which the manufacturer specifies the use of oil containing ACEA specifications A3/B3/B4/C3/C4. Does not apply in Ford cars Ka MJ 2009 (08/2008) and Ford Galaxy with 1.9 TDi engine (02/1995 – 02/2006), because It is recommended to use oil exclusively according to the FORD WSS M2C 917 A specification. It is also not used in Ford Focus RS MJ 2009 (03/2009), because It is recommended to use oil exclusively according to the FORD WSS M2C 937 A specification. In addition, it is not allowed for use in Ford 1.0 Eco-Boost engines (manufactured year 2012), which require the use of oil according to the WSS M2C 948B specification.

Oils with specification WSS-M2C913D are recommended for all diesel engines Ford, excluding F models Ford Ka TDCi produced before 2009 and produced before 2009 and Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDi produced between 2000 and 2006. Oils developed to meet the requirements of this specification are especially recommended for diesel engines that originally required oils of the M2 C913-B or M2 C913-C specification. Ford Transit vehicles, since 2012, have been produced and equipped with the Duratorq 2.2 engine, which requires the use of engine oil with Ford specification WSS-M2C913 D. Oils that meet the requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C913 D are suitable for extended drain intervals and can be used for biodiesel engines or for engines using high sulfur diesel fuel. Also, the fully synthetic motor oil RAVENOL FDS 5W-30 was tested at Renault and received official clearance RN0700.

The Renault RN0700 specification was introduced in 2007 in parallel with the market release Renault car Laguna III. The requirements of this specification are based on general requirements ACEA A3

B4 or ACEA A5/B5.

Since 2017 Ford company does not provide confirmation to oil manufacturers that their products comply with specifications. Oil manufacturers, however, have the right to indicate compliance on labels and in the description of oils, while the consumer can make a choice based on the specifications specified in the operating instructions for the car.

Every car owner should be able to decipher the motor oil markings printed on the product packaging, because the key to long-lasting and stable operation of the engine is the use of high-quality oil that meets all the requirements of the manufacturer. Such serious requirements are imposed by them due to the fact that oils have to work in a wide range temperature range and under great pressure.

From this article you will learn:

The engine oil marking contains all necessary information to make the right choice, you just need to be able to decipher it

In order to streamline and simplify the procedure for selecting oil for a specific type of engine according to the required characteristics and tasks assigned to it, a number of international standards have been developed. Global oil manufacturers use the following generally accepted classifications:

• ACEA;
• ILSAC;
• GOST

Each type of oil marking has its own history and market share, deciphering the meaning of which allows you to navigate in choosing the necessary lubricating fluid. We mainly use three types of classification - API and ACEA, and also, of course, GOST.

There are 2 main classes of motor oils, depending on the type of engine: gasoline or diesel, although there is also universal oil. Directions for use are always indicated on the label. Any engine oil consists of a base composition (), which is its basis, and certain additives. The basis of the lubricating fluid is oil fractions that are obtained from oil refining or artificially. Therefore, according to their chemical composition they are divided into:

• mineral;
• semi-synthetic;
• synthetic.

On the canister, along with other markings, the chemical is always indicated. compound.

What may be on the label of a canister of oil:

1. Viscosity grade SAE.
2. Specifications API And ACEA.
3. Tolerances automakers.
4. Barcode.
5. Batch number and production date.
6. Pseudo-marking (is not a generally recognized standard marking, but is used as marketing ploy, for example fully synthetic, HC, with the addition of smart molecules, etc.).
7. Special categories of motor oils.

To help you buy exactly the one that will suit your car's engine best, we will decipher the most important markings motor oil.

Motor oil marking according to SAE

The most important characteristic that is indicated on the canister is the viscosity coefficient according to the SAE classification. international standard regulating at plus and minus temperatures (limit value).

According to SAE standard oils are designated in the XW-Y format, where X and Y are certain numbers. First number- This symbol the minimum temperature at which oil is normally pumped through the channels and the engine cranks without difficulty. The letter W stands for english word Winter - winter.

Second number conventionally means the minimum and maximum value of the high-temperature viscosity limit of the oil when heated to operating temperature(+100…+150°С). The higher the number, the thicker it is when heated, and vice versa.

Therefore, oils are necessarily divided into three types depending on the viscosity value:

• winter oils, they are more fluid and provide trouble-free engine starting in the cold season. In the notation SAE indicator such oil will have the letter “W” (for example, 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, etc.). To understand the limit value, you need to subtract the number 35. In hot weather, such oil is not able to provide a lubricating film and maintain the required pressure in oil system due to the fact that when high temperature its fluidity is excessive;
• summer oils are used when the average daily temperature is not lower than 0°C, since its kinematic viscosity is high enough so that in hot weather the fluidity does not exceed the required value for good lubrication engine parts. At sub-zero temperatures, starting an engine with such a high viscosity is impossible. Designated summer stamps oils with a numerical value without letters (for example: 20, 30, 40, and so on; the higher the number, the higher the viscosity). The density of the composition is measured in centistokes at 100 degrees (for example, a value of 20 indicates a limiting density of 8-9 centistokes at an engine temperature of 100 ° C);
• all-season oils are the most popular because they are capable of operating at both sub-zero and positive temperatures, the limit value of which is indicated in the SAE indicator. This oil has a double designation (example: SAE 15W-40).

When choosing an oil viscosity (from those approved for use in your car’s engine), you need to be guided by the following rule: the higher the mileage/older the engine, the higher the high-temperature viscosity of the oil should be.

Viscosity characteristics are the very first and important element classification and labeling of motor oils, but not the only one - It’s not right to choose oil based solely on viscosity.. Always it is necessary to choose the right relation of properties oil and its operating conditions.

Each oil, in addition to viscosity, has a different set of operational properties (detergent, antioxidant properties, anti-wear, tendency to form various deposits, corrosiveness, and others). They allow us to determine the possible scope of their application.

In the API classification, the main indicators are: engine type, engine operating mode, oil performance properties, conditions of use and year of manufacture. The standard provides for the division of oils into two categories:

• Category “S” – shows intended for gasoline engines;
• Category “C” – indicates its intended use for diesel vehicles.

How to decipher API markings?

As we have already found out, API designation may begin with the letter S or C, which will indicate the type of engine into which it can be filled, and another letter designating the oil class, indicating the level of performance properties.

According to this classification, the decoding of motor oil markings is carried out as follows:

• abbreviation EC, which is located immediately after the API, indicate energy-saving oils;
• Roman numerals after this abbreviation talk about the level of fuel economy;
• letter S(Service) denotes applications oils for gasoline engines;
• letter C(Commercial) are designated ;
• after one of these letters comes performance level, indicated by letters starting from A(most low level) to N and further (the higher alphabet order the second letter in the designation, the higher the oil class);
• universal oil has letters from both categories through an oblique line (for example: API SL/CF);
• API markings for diesel engines are divided into two-stroke (number 2 at the end) and 4-stroke (number 4).

Those motor oils, which have passed the API/SAE test and meet the requirements of current quality categories, are indicated on labels with a round graphic symbol. At the top there is an inscription - “API” (API Service), in the middle there is a viscosity grade according to SAE, as well as possible degree energy saving.

When using oil according to “its own” specification, wear and the risk of engine breakdown are reduced, oil waste and fuel consumption are reduced, noise is reduced, and driving performance engine (especially at low temperatures), and also increases the service life of the catalyst and exhaust cleaning system.

Classifications ACEA, GOST, ILSAC and how to decipher the designation

The ACEA classification was developed by the Association European Automobile Manufacturers. It indicates the performance properties, purposes and category of motor oil. ACEA classes are also divided into diesel and gasoline.

The latest edition of the standard provides for the division of oils into 3 categories and 12 classes:

• A/B – gasoline and diesel engines passenger cars, vans, minibuses (A1/B1-12, A3/B3-12, A3/B4-12, A5/B5-12);
• C – gasoline and diesel engines with catalyst exhaust gases (C1-12, C2-12, C3-12, C4-12);
• E – diesel engines trucks (E4-12, E6-12, E7-12, E9-12).

In addition to the class of motor oil, the ACEA designation indicates the year of its introduction, as well as the publication number (when updates were made) technical requirements). Domestic oils also undergo certification according to GOST.

Classification of motor oils according to GOST

According to GOST 17479.1-85, motor oils are divided into:

• classes by kinematic viscosity;
• performance groups.

According to kinematic viscosity Oils are divided into the following classes:

• summer – 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24;
• winter - 3, 4, 5, 6;
• all-season – 3/8, 4/6, 4/8, 4/10, 5/10, 5/12, 5/14, 6/10, 6/14, 6/16 (the first digit indicates winter class, the second for summer).

In all of the listed classes, the higher the numerical value, the greater the viscosity.

By area of ​​application All motor oils are divided into 6 groups - designated from the letters “A” to “E”.

The index “1” denotes oils intended for gasoline engines, the index “2” for diesel engines, and oils without an index indicate its versatility.

Classification of motor oils according to ILSAC

ILSAC is a joint invention of Japan and America, the International Committee for Standardization and Approbation of Motor Oils has issued five motor oil standards: ILSAC GF-1, ILSAC GF-2, ILSAC GF-3, ILSAC GF-4 and ILSAC GF-5. They are completely similar to API classes, the only difference is that oils corresponding to ILSAC classifications are energy-saving and all-season. This classification is best suited for Japanese cars.

Correspondence ILSAC categories regarding API:

• GF-1(outdated) - oil quality requirements similar API categories SH; By SAE viscosity 0W-XX, 5W-XX, 10W-XX, where XX-30, 40, 50,60.
• GF-2- meets the requirement by quality API oils S.J., and in terms of viscosity SAE 0W-20, 5W-20.
• GF-3- is analogous to the API SL category and has been in effect since 2001.
• ILSAC GF-4 and GF-5- respectively analogs of SM and SN.

In addition, within the framework of the standard ISLAC for Japanese cars with turbocharged diesel engines , used separately JASO DX-1 class. This marking automobile oils provides engines modern cars with high environmental parameters and built-in turbines.

IN API classifications and ACEA formulate minimum basic requirements that are agreed upon between oil and additive manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers. Since engine designs different brands differ from each other, the operating conditions of the oil in them are not quite the same. Some major engine manufacturers have developed their own classification system motor oils, so-called tolerances, which complements the system ACEA classification , with its own test engines and tests in field conditions. Engine manufacturers such as VW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Renault, BMW, GM, Porsche and Fiat primarily use their own approvals when choosing engine oil. The vehicle's operating instructions must contain specifications, and their numbers are printed on the oil packaging, next to the designation of its class of performance properties.

Let's consider and decipher the most popular and frequently used tolerances present in the designations on cans of motor oils.

VAG approvals for passenger cars

VW 500.00- energy-saving motor oil (SAE 5W-30, 10W-30, 5W-40, 10W-40, etc.), VW 501.01- all-season, intended for use in conventional gasoline engines manufactured before 2000, and VW 502.00 - for turbocharged ones.

Tolerance VW 503.00 stipulates that this oil is for gasoline engines with a viscosity of SAE 0W-30 and with a long replacement interval (up to 30 thousand km), and if exhaust system with a three-component neutralizer, then oil with VW 504.00 approval is poured into the engine of such a car.

For Volkswagen, Audi and Skoda cars with diesel engines, a group of oils with approvals is provided VW 505.00 for TDI engines, produced before 2000; VW 505.01 Recommended for PDE engines with unit injector.

Energy-saving motor oil with viscosity class 0W-30 with approval VW 506.00 has an extended replacement interval (for V6 TDI engines up to 30 thousand km, 4-cylinder TDI engines up to 50 thousand). Recommended for use for new generation diesel engines (after 2002). For turbocharged engines and PD-TDI pump injectors, it is recommended to fill in oil with the approval VW 506.01 having the same extended replacement interval.

Approvals for Mercedes passenger cars

The Mercedes-Benz automaker also has its own approvals. For example, motor oil with the designation MB 229.1 Intended for Mercedes diesel and gasoline engines produced since 1997. Tolerance MB 229.31 introduced later and corresponds SAE specifications 0W-, SAE 5W- with additional requirements that limit sulfur and phosphorus content. MB 229.5- This energy saving oil with extended service life for both diesel and gasoline engines.

BMW engine oil tolerances

BMW Longlife-98 This approval is granted to motor oils intended for filling into the engines of cars manufactured since 1998. An extended service replacement interval is provided. Meets the basic requirements of ACEA A3/B3. For engines manufactured at the end of 2001, it is recommended to use oil with approval BMW Longlife-01. Specification BMW Longlife-01 FE provides for the use of motor oil when operating in difficult conditions. BMW Longlife-04 approved for use in modern engines BMW.

Engine oil tolerances for Renault

Tolerance Renault RN0700 was introduced in 2007 and meets the basic requirements: ACEA A3/B4 or ACEA A5/B5. Renault RN0710 meets the requirements of ACEA A3/B4, and Renault RN 0720 according to ACEA C3 plus additional Renaults. Approval RN0720 designed for use in diesel engines latest generation with particulate filters.

Approval for Ford vehicles

Motor oil SAE 5W-30 approved Ford WSS-M2C913-A, intended for primary and service replacement. This oil Meets ILSAC GF-2, ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 classifications and additional Ford requirements.

Approved oil Ford M2C913-B Intended for initial filling or service replacement in gasoline and diesel engines. Also meets all ILSAC GF-2 and GF-3, ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 requirements.

Tolerance Ford WSS-M2C913-D was introduced in 2012, oils with this approval are recommended for all Ford diesel engines with the exception of Ford Ka TDCi models manufactured before 2009 and engines manufactured between 2000 and 2006. Provides the possibility of an extended replacement interval and refueling with bio-diesel or high-sulfur fuel.

Approved oil Ford WSS-M2C934-A provides for an extended drain interval and is intended for use in vehicles with a diesel engine and a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Oil that meets the specification Ford WSS-M2C948-B, based on ACEA C2 class (for gasoline and diesel engines with catalyst). This approval requires an oil with a viscosity of 5W-20 and reduced soot formation.

When choosing an oil, you need to remember a few basic points: right choice necessary chemical composition(mineral, synthetic, semi-synthetic), viscosity classification parameter, and know the necessary requirements regarding the set of additives (defined in the API and ACEA classifications). The label should also contain information about which brands of cars it is suitable for. this product. It is equally important to pay attention to additional designations motor oil. For example, marking Long Life indicates that the oil is suitable for machines with increased service interval replacements. Also, among the features of some compositions, one can highlight compatibility with engines with turbocharging, intercooler, cooling of recirculation gases, control of timing phases and valve lift height.

Also meets Ford specifications

Valvoline SynPower FE 0W-30 (WSS-M2C913A)

Shell Helix F 5w-30 (API SJ, ILSAC GF-2, ACEA A1/B1, Ford WSS M2C 913 A1/B1)

RAVENOL FO 5W-30 (API SL/ Energy Conserving; ACEA A1-01, A5, B1-01, B5. Fulfills the requirements of: Ford WSS-M2C913-B; Ford WSS-M2C913-A; Jaguar WSS-M2C913)

Shell Helix Ultra X 0W-30. meets the Vagen 503/506 tolerance for extended service intervals (very cool). the same shell has ACEA A1/B1 and meets Ford's requirements for shear, i.e., IMHO, it can also be poured into a zetek. But this miracle costs almost 3 times more than the original. Very similar to the above shell

Teboil Diamond Plus II SAE 0w-30 (ACEA A1/A5, B1/B5),

and also very similar to Ford, but does not have the appropriate approval

Teboil Gold 5W-30 (API SJ/CF, ACEA A1/B1)

all for the same Vagen 503/506

How to choose the right oil
You shouldn't pick up the first thing you come across in the store. Ford uses oils with a viscosity of 5W-30, which are the main ones in last years and Ford conducts a separate certification for them (Ford WSS-M2C912-A1) That is, the oil most suitable for your engine is the one that meets one of the following specifications:
WSS-M2C 912-A1
WSS-M2C 913-A
WSS-M2C 913-B
These data are indicated in the application table on the oil container.
In total, you need an oil that says SAE 5W-30 and at least one of the above WSS specifications.

Where to buy\How to search:
It is advisable to immediately indicate the WSS specification in Internet search engines. Then the most relevant links will be selected.
Stores: KEMP, Tehkom

What can you add?
Oils differ not only in composition (synthetic\semi-synthetic\mineral) and viscosity (SAE), but also in many other parameters: temperature regime, presence of additives, cleaning properties. Unfortunately, oils are NOT COMPLETELY INTERCHANGEABLE, so if you bought a car and don’t know what kind of oil was filled in, it is advisable to completely change the fluid to the one recommended by the manufacturer. But what to do if you need to top up (say, wait 500-2000 km before maintenance)?
Any modern oil enters the market ONLY subject to compatibility with oils from other manufacturers. So if need forces you, you can mix any mineral water with any synthetic water (theoretically) - in practice you shouldn’t get carried away. If topping up is unavoidable, it is advisable to use oil of the same composition and viscosity as the one added. IN as a last resort You can only focus on the composition.
You can add no more than 200-300g. This is how much is usually left in the engine after draining when changing the oil. This is exactly the amount that will not cause significant harm to the “health” of the engine. After topping up, the replacement period must be halved
