Today we will look at what oils are poured into Ford cars. You will find out what kind of oil is supposed to be poured into your car, how oils differ from each other.
Currently, 2 lines of oils are produced for Fords. Ford Formula and Ford Castrol. Currently (March 2016) official dealers fill customers only with oils from the Ford Castrol line. Officially, Ford's central office answers the question of why they abandoned the Formula line, and the next thing is they switched to new standards, improved additives.
Indeed, new diesel and turbocharged gasoline (EcoBoost) engines have appeared in the Ford engine line. But dealers also pour new oil on old cars, which is not entirely profitable (new oil is more expensive than the old one).
Ford Formula oil is not discontinued, they are not going to stop its production, it can be bought at any auto parts store or at the car market.

And now let's proceed to a more detailed discussion of motor oils for Fords.
The first line is Ford Formula oils, which in turn come in two types Ford Formula F 5w30 and Ford Formula S / SD 5w40.
1. (original number 14E9EC/15595E/155D3A for 5 liter and 14E9ED/14E8B9/15595A for 1 liter cans)
Viscosity: 5W-30
Composition: synthetic (Hydrocracking)
ACEA: A1/B1
API: SM/CF

This oil is a base oil in the Ford oil line and is suitable for almost all gasoline and diesel engines Ford, except for Ecoboost.
The disadvantages of oil include its evaporation during frequent engine operation on high revs in gasoline engines with a volume of more than 1.8 liters. It is recommended to switch to a more viscous 5w40 oil with a mileage of over one hundred thousand kilometers.
2. . (original number: 5 liters 14E9D1/14E8BC, 1 liter 14E9CF/15152A)

Engine oil Ford Formula S/SD 5W-40 -is an improved version of 5w30 oil. It has a higher viscosity, made using a different technology.
Simply put, it is devoid of the main drawback of 5w30 oil - burn out under heavy engine load. If your car has increased consumption 5w30 Formula F oils, then at the next MOT fill this oil. Usually they switch to this oil from Formula F 5w30on a run of 100-150 thousand kilometers, as the Formula F 5w30 starts to fade.

Ford Castrol Magnatec Professional 5w30 has petrol and diesel admission, recommended for modern (from 2012) Ford vehicles.
After reading this information, you can easily choose essential oil. We remind you that it is recommended to change the engine oil every 15.000 or once a year. When changing the oil, the filters, air and oil, also change.
A small nuance of the majority gasoline engines Ford - when changing the oil, it is necessary to inspect the drain plug with a rubber gasket, if the gasket sags, replace the plug with a new one, since it is inexpensive, about 100-150 rubles. Usually the plug is changed every 2 or 3 times when changing the oil. It is best to have such a cork in the glove compartment just in case.

Release of the compact american car started back in 1998. The model has been restyled and updated several times, and today it is already in its 4th generation. You can talk a lot about the comfort and top-end equipment of the Ford Focus, but in order to fully experience all its advantages, you cannot do without a test drive. It is not surprising that the model is included in the TOP-10 best-selling cars in Europe and in 2010 it took the honorable first place in Russia according to this indicator. The Focus was originally distinguished not only by good technical data, but also by a very affordable price tag, which in most cases was the decisive factor when buying a car.
Second Ford generation The Focus 2 debuted in 2004 and was produced until 2011. It differed from the previous roomy interior, improved quality of materials and interior design, as well as large dimensions. The novelty was developed on the basis of the Ford C1 under the Common Global Technologies program, which implies the unification of the platforms of all models (the Focus C-Max, Mazda 5 and Volvo C70, S40 and V50 series have the same base). The car received a minor facelift in 2008.
Under the hood of the updated Focus 2 were installed petrol units with volumes from 1.4 to 2.0 liters, as well as one diesel plant for 1.8 liters. The power of the motors varied from frankly weak 80 hp. up to an impressive 145-horsepower. For lovers of adrenaline and drive, a turbo modification of the RS was released with 2.5 liters and a power of 300 hp. But the front-wheel drive models from the "golden mean" with volumes of 1.6 (110-115 hp) and 1.8 liters (125 hp) have become the most popular on the market. They were aggregated with a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. Read more about the amount of oil that is poured into these installations, and about its types further.

The regulations for replacing engine oils for the second generation Ford Focus, as a rule, are being revised in the direction of reducing mileage. Therefore, the optimal period between lubricant changes in the motor will be 7-8 thousand km . What kind of oil is better to fill in the Ford Focus engine and how much, does it make sense to look for official Ford oil, let's figure it out right now.
What oil is filled in Ford Focus 2 at the factory
Mileage over 150,000 km. There is practically no oil consumption, within normal limits. Lem Castrol.
All cars Ford Focus after 2009, they leave the assembly line with semi-synthetics, which is called Ford Formula F 5W-30 in the engine. This oil complies with Ford WSS-M2C913-A and Ford WSS-M2C913-B approvals.
Conveyor oil is produced by the French corporation Elf, while the manufacturer does not recommend changing the lubricant in the engine before the first scheduled Maintenance. This is explained special features semi-synthetic oil , which contributes to high-quality running-in of the engine.

original oil.
For engines assembled before 2009, when replacing the old lubricant with Ford Formula F 5W-30, there is no need to use any special flushes and other fluids, the replacement technology also does not change for topping up old engines with Ford Formula E 5W-30 oil new Formula F oil can be used.
Actually quite it is not necessary to use Ford Formula F 5W-30. It is quite enough that the selected oil meets the Ford WSS-M2C913-A and WSS-M2C913-B standards, especially since, for obvious reasons, Ford does not produce any oils and uses third-party products.
What oil is better to fill in a Ford Focus 2 engine
If there is no desire to experiment with semi-synthetics recommended by Ford, you can safely try pouring oil American manufacturer Motorcraft full synthetic 5W-30 S API SN.
It is a high quality synthetic product that has Ford approvals . At the same time, the price of this oil is one and a half times lower than the promoted European brands.
How much to pour?
Filling volumes of oil.
For a two-liter Ford Focus engine, at least 4.5 liters will be required.
Analogues
PETRO CANADA 5W-30.
From European brands are often used Castrol Edge 5W-40 Fully Synthetic, Castrol Magnatec 5w-30, but they are significantly more expensive. There are also more budget series - Motul 5w-30 913C. They ask for 2.5 thousand for 5 liters.
Specifications
By following the specifications, you can maximize the life of the engine.
In a word, the main indicators of the applicability of motor oils for the second generation Ford Focu remain:
- factory specifications Ford WSS-M2C913-A and Ford WSS-M2C913-B , which should be indicated on the sticker, or simply a recommendation from Ford;
- depending on the climatic conditions oils can be used viscosity characteristics By SAE 5W-30 and 5W-40 .

When changing the lubricant, it will be necessary to replace the oil filter.
For 1.4 and 1.6 liter engines, a branded Ford filter will have a catalog number 1714387-1883037, but in addition to it, you can use analogues from Suzuki with a catalog number 16510-61AR0, Bosch filters 0 986 452 019, Bosch 0 986 452 044, Fram PH3614 and also enjoy a good reputation german filters Mann W 610/1.
conclusions
Therefore, for any Ford Focus engines, we use oil from any manufacturer we like with Ford approvals and the above SAE viscosity ratings. Good luck with your choice and great resource motor!
IN technical guidance for servicing any modern car Ford says the engine can only run on synthetics. IN last years only 5W-30 synthetic engine oil was allowed to be used.
When improved turbocharged engines appeared, such as EcoBoost, which are characterized by low fuel consumption with huge power, it became necessary to develop a new lubricating fluid for them. As a result, an energy-saving alternative was created - 5W20 synthetics.
Properties 5W-20
It differs from analogues in low high-temperature viscosity. The benefits include:
- Easy start;
- Reduced fuel consumption;
- Increased wear resistance of elements motor system especially in winter time.
However, use synthetic oil 5W-20 is not allowed in every car model. The label must indicate certain tolerance values \u200b\u200bthat correspond to obsolete Ford models - WSS-M2C913-A / B / C.
The latest specification WSS-M2C948-B reflects all the requirements that apply to 5W-20 grease by Ford. It is applicable only in gasoline installations. Most suitable for diesel power unit the manufacturer considers the former composition 5W-30. However, it must meet the conditions of WSS-M2C913-D.
Grease ACEA A5,B5 may only be filled into special occasions. She has several positive qualities: reduces friction force, saves fuel, is characterized by high thermal and oxidative resistance. Can be used for a long time without replacement. Suitable for use with diesel or high octane fuels.
Analogues
The Castrol concern has been developing for many years, together with Ford technologists, latest products For power plants Ford Focus cars. Castrol produces motor oils that Ford recommends pouring into their engines. Specifically, these are Castrol Magnatec:
- A5 5W-30,
- E 5W-20 is a professional high octane fuel oil.
You can buy such joint products only in official center. Popular synthetics Ford Formula F is no longer sold only through authorized dealer companies. Now it is sold in ordinary automotive stores.
What can replace 5W-20
Today, many manufacturers produce motor oils that can fully replace newest oil 5W-20. Their list is quite extensive:
- Liquid Moli Special,
- Motul Specific,
- Q8 Formula Exclusive,
- Wuncsh Syntholube F1E,
- Total Quartz 9000.
Great replacement diesel oil 5W-30 are considered:
- Shell Helix Ultra Proffesional,
- Mobile Super 3000,
- Q8 Formula Nechno FE Plus,
- Kroon-Oil Duranza LSP,
- Liqui Moly Special.
The most optimal tolerances for a Ford car are:
- WSS-M2C948-B - for gasoline engines;
- WSS-M2C913-D - for internal combustion engines on diesel.
The WSS-M2C913-C tolerance is considered ideal. Permitted in case extreme conditions use oil whose properties meet the requirements of international ACEA standard A5,B5.
100% synthetics 5W-20, coupled with 5W-40, can successfully replace formulations produced by well-known global manufacturers: Shell, Mobil, Total and others.
