How to choose the right oil
Do not pick up the first one that comes across in the store. Ford uses 5W-30 viscosity oils, which have been the main oils in recent years and Ford conducts a separate approval for them (Ford WSS-M2C912-A1) That is, the oil most suitable for your engine is 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 applicability 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:
In search engines on the Internet, it is advisable to immediately indicate the WSS specification. Then the most relevant links will be selected.
Stores: KEMP, Techcom
What can be added
Oils differ not only in composition (synthetics \ semi-synthetics \ mineral water) and viscosity (SAE), but also in many other parameters: temperature, the presence of additives, detergent properties. Unfortunately, oils are NOT COMPLETELY INTERCHANGEABLE, so if you bought a car and do not know which 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, reach 500-2000 km before MOT)?
Any modern oil enters the market ONLY if it is compatible with oils from other manufacturers. So if the need forces you - you can mix any mineral water with any synthetics (theoretically) - you should not get carried away in practice. If topping up is unavoidable, it is advisable to use oil of the same composition and viscosity as the filled one. In extreme cases, you can focus only on the composition.
You can top up no more than 200-300g. This is how much usually remains in the engine after draining when changing the oil. That is how much will not cause tangible harm to the "health" of the engine. After topping up, the replacement period must be halved
Being serviced by an authorized dealer, owners rarely show interest in the type and other characteristics of such an important operating fluid as oil. Therefore, after the warranty has expired, the question arises of choosing the right lubricant for the engine.
Ford Motor Company engine oil acceptable for safe operation has long been analyzed. However, the company has officially formalized its requirements for engine lubricating fluid, announcing branded tolerances.
The technical manual for any modern FORD model reflects the acceptability of using a lubricant exclusively on a synthetic basis. Until recently, only 5W-30 synthetics were approved for use according to the SAE standard.
Work on a new line of turbocharged engines called EcoBoost, with impressive, incredibly high power and low consumption, was associated with the search for a new oil for them. The result - a fashionable energy-saving alternative: 5W-20 synthetics, which has a low high-temperature viscosity, which entails:
- easy start;
- fuel economy;
- increased wear resistance of engine parts during winter operation.
Approved engine oil for Ford vehicles: official specifications
Not everyone can pour priority synthetics 5W-20 or already transferred to the category of alternative 5W-30. The sticker on the canister of the 5W-30 class must necessarily contain information about compliance with the now slightly outdated Ford specification, namely one of the tolerances:
- WSS-M2C913-A;
- WSS-M2C913-B;
- WSS-M2C913-C%;
Ford's latest requirements for 5W-20 synthetic engine oil are reflected in the new WSS-M2C948-B approval. This specification is relevant only for gasoline engines. The manufacturer advises to fill diesel units with the same chemistry 5W-30, but meeting the latest requirements of WSS-M2С913-D.
In emergency situations, there is only one recipe - to use compounds that meet the ACEA A5 / B5 class. And this is a lubricant calculated:
- for use in conditions of extended drain intervals;
- for use in forced copies operating on high-octane or diesel fuels;
- for long-term thermal and oxidative resistance;
- to reduce friction and fuel consumption.
Joint samples
The owner, who carefully examines the company manual for the car, probably noticed the Castrol company logos and recommendations for using its products in the technical sections. Ford and Castrol have been working together for a long time to develop optimal oils for Ford engines.
- professional Castrol Magnatec E 5W-20, associated with high-octane fuel;
- professional Castrol Magnatec A5 5W-30, indicated for use in solid fuels.
A series of official experiments confirmed the advantage of using Castrol Magnatec Professional 5W-20 compared to the previous generation 5W-30 (WSS-M2C913-C approval). The new Castrol Ford engine oil plays into the hands of fuel savings, expressed as a percentage:
- 1.1% - in the bustle of the city;
- 1.2% - on the freeway;
- 1.5% - on a traditional suburban highway.
It is possible to purchase a jointly developed lubricant only in the official dealer network. The well-known series of Ford Formula F and S/SD synthetic oils is no longer available in authorized centers - it is sold in a regular retail network.
Alternative Options
The original series of Ford Castrol microfiltered greases, the consistency of which is green, is opposed by products from many well-known companies. An alternative to the new 5W-20 synthetics can be:
- Liqui Moly Special Tec F Eco;
- Rowe Hightec Synt HC Eco-Fo;
- Kuttenkeuler Driver Special Eco-F;
- Motul Specific;
- Total Quartz 9000 Future EcoB;
- Q8 Formula Exclusive Eco;
- Wunsch Syntholube F1E;
- Kroon Oil Duranza Eco.
Competing with a synthetic composition for 5W-30 diesel engines are:
- Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF;
- Motul Specific 913 D;
- Liqui Moly Special Tec F;
- Mobil Super 3000 X1 Formula FE;
- Eurol Fortence;
- Q8 Formula Techno FE Plus;
- Kroon Oil Duranza LSP.
What is the result
- Current Ford approvals are WSS-M2C948-B (for petrol engines) and WSS-M2C913-D (for diesel models). The alternative specification is WSS-M2C913-C. In emergency situations, the use of a "long-playing" oil that complies with the ACEA A5 / B5 class is allowed.
- In Ford cars, the plant recommends using Ford Castrol Magnatec Professional E 5W-20 (gasoline) and A5 5W-30 (diesel).
- An alternative to dealer synthetics 5W-20 and 5W-40 are top products from Shell, Liqui Moly, Mobil, Rowe, Motul, Q8 Oils, Total, Kuttenkeuler, Wunsch, Kroon and others.
Oil for Ford and more
FORD Formula S SD Synthetic Technology Motor Oil 5W40 is the full name of one of the lubricants produced by BP Europa specifically for Ford vehicles.
Product description
Ford Formula S SD 5W40 is a fully synthetic engine oil with versatility and excellent performance. Has a wide temperature range of use, stable viscosity. Fast pumping and excellent fluidity make starting a cold engine a pleasure.
The high-temperature characteristics of the lubricant are also what you need. It does not liquefy beyond measure even in the most inferno, practically does not evaporate and does not burn out, which means that it requires minimal topping up, and then only in extreme cases. Usually this oil is enough from and to replacement.
The excellent cleaning ability of this high-quality synthetic effectively prevents the formation of sludge, soot, soot and varnish deposits inside the engine. The absence of deposits also significantly reduces friction, prolongs the life of the motor, and increases its efficiency.

No deficiencies were found when used correctly.
Specially developed for Ford diesel engines. Passed a set of tests at Ford and received WSS-M2C913-D approval.
Specification Ford WSS-M2 C 913 D was released in 2012. It replaced the previous Ford WSS-M2 C 913 C and 913 B specifications, which were oriented towards the current ACEA A5/B5 or A1/B1. With the advent of the new specification, increased requirements were also imposed on oils, which must comply with the requirements of the new approval.
When developing the Ford WSS-M2 C 913 D specification, the following additional requirements were introduced and tests were carried out compared to ACEA:
- Total 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 impact on sealing materials
B5 and have a lower viscosity, which saves fuel. Through a Ford-mandated oxidation test, it was determined that the addition of special antioxidant additives was necessary to prevent rapid oil aging, extending engine life beyond previous Ford specification oils.
RAVENOL FDS 5W-30 is recommended for use in car engines where Full SAPS full ash motor oil with ACEA A5/B5 specification is recommended, for example, Mazda, Land Rover, Volvo, Toyota, KIA, Hyundai.
Not applicable to vehicles where the manufacturer specifies ACEA A3/B3/B4/C3/C4. Does not apply to Ford Ka MJ 2009 (08/2008) and Ford Galaxy with 1.9 TDi engine (02/1995 - 02/2006) as it is recommended to use oil exclusively according to FORD WSS M2C 917 A specification. Also not used in Ford Focus RS MJ 2009 (03/2009), because only FORD WSS M2C 937 A specification is recommended. Also not approved for use in Ford 1.0 Eco-Boost (2012 model year) engines, which require WSS M2C 948B oil.
Oils with specification WSS-M2C913D are recommended for all Ford diesel engines except F Ford Ka TDCi models manufactured before 2009 and produced before 2009 and Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDi produced between 2000 and 2006. Oils formulated to this specification are especially recommended for diesel engines that originally required oils of specification M2 C913-B or M2 C913-C. Ford Transit vehicles, since 2012, have been manufactured and equipped with the Duratorq 2.2 engine, which requires an engine oil with the Ford WSS-M2C913 D specification. Oils that meet the Ford WSS-M2C913 D specification are suitable for extended drain intervals and can be used for biodiesel engines or for engines using diesel fuel with a high sulfur content. Also, RAVENOL FDS 5W-30 fully synthetic engine oil has been tested by Renault and received official approval RN0700.
The Renault RN0700 specification was introduced in 2007 in parallel with the market launch of the Renault Laguna III. The requirements of this specification are based on the general requirements of ACEA A3
B4 or ACEA A5/B5.

Due to frequently asked questions about which engine oil to use for a particular Ford engine, we decided in a detailed but rather concise form to outline the algorithm for choosing the right engine oil for the legendary Ford Motor Company Limited trademark.
Using the Ford Transis as an example, we will consider which oil should be used for your Ford. However, if you own: 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, Sample, Siera, Fiesta, Kuga , Ka) - You will also need this information.
So, the first thing I want to discuss is Ford's TOLERANCES, found in our latitudes and regulated in the operating instructions for your car. Yes, yes, it is in the instructions, and not in the electronic selection of oil on the website of any manufacturer of motor oils. And this is primarily due to the fact that often these rebounds are cunning, recommending incorrectly selected positions in connection with a complex and intricate system of approvals and correspondences.
WSS-M2C913-A
WSS-M2C913-B- SAE 5W-30 - ILSAC GF-2, ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 + additional Ford requirements
WSS-M2C913-C- 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, + high sulfur fuel capability (except Ford Ka TDCi up to 2009 and Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDi 2000-2006 g.c.)
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 nozzle, ACEA A3B4 + often ACEA C3 (oil-ash - as it is often equipped with a 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, specially for Ford Focus RS.
WSS-M2C948-B- SAE 5W-20, for the EcoBoost engine line (also, all gasoline engines, except Ford Ka, Focus ST, Focus RS)
WSS-M2C950-A- SAE 0W-30, for Duratorq-TDCI 1.5L, 1.6L and 2.0L Ford Mondeo engines.
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 the tolerance requirements, and it is better to be approved by Ford itself.
WSS-M2C913-D automatically overrides and outperforms M2C913-A, B, C.
If it is not possible to purchase oil approved by Ford, in exceptional cases, oils corresponding to parallel specifications can be used: ILSAC, ACEA, SAE (from the above list).
ORIGINAL OILS
In Ukraine, "original" oils are more often represented by three positions:
5w-30 Formula E - retired 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 the original oils with the GENESIS line, one can come to the conclusion that often the latter exceeds or fully corresponds to the characteristics of the "original". About the difference in price, respectively, to judge you;)
IMPORTANT POINTS you need to know:
Ford prohibits the use of any additional additives in the engine. Otherwise, it may lead to engine failure.
In some cases (but not all), Ford prohibits the use of oils with a viscosity of SAE 10w-40 at an ambient temperature of less than -20 ° C (or rather, start the engine at a temperature below this)
You should pay special attention to the abbreviation ACEA C3 in your manual. It is rare, but found that Ford regulates the use of oil with a WSS M2C917-A approval, which by its nature does not have to be "ACEA C3", and below they make a note: "The use of products with specifications below ACEA C3 standards can lead to engine damage, which not covered by warranty. Indeed, there are many oils with WSS-M2C917-A approval with 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.
Summing up, with an eye to the fairly high level of representation of Ford cars 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 GENESIS A5/B5 SAE 5W-30 oil to the largest carrier CJSC Tbilisi Microbus, which carries out more than 90% of passenger traffic in Georgia. The fleet of the enterprise is more than 3000 units of modern minibuses FORD TRANSIT 2013-2014. release."
