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."

Since 2017, Ford has not confirmed to oil manufacturers that their products meet specifications. Oil manufacturers, however, have the right to indicate compliance on the labels and in the description of oils, while the consumer makes a choice based on the specification specified in the operating instructions for the car.

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.

Each car owner should be able to decipher the engine oil marking applied to the product packaging, because the key to durable and stable engine operation 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 temperature range and under high pressure.

From this article you will learn:

The engine oil marking contains all the necessary information for 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 particular 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 recognized classifications:

• ACEA;
• ILSAC;
• GOST.

Each type of oil labeling has its own history and market share, deciphering the meaning of which allows you to navigate the choice of the necessary lubricating fluid. Basically, we use three types of classification - these are API and ACEA, as well as, of course, GOST.

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

• mineral;
• semi-synthetic;
• synthetic.

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

What can be on the label of an oil canister:

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

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

Marking of engine oils according to SAE

The most important characteristic, which is indicated in the marking on the canister - the viscosity coefficient according to the SAE classification - is an international standard that regulates at plus and minus temperatures (boundary value).

In accordance with the SAE standard, oils are designated in the XW-Y format, where X and Y are some numbers. First number- this is a symbol for the minimum temperature at which oil is normally pumped through the channels, and the engine scrolls without difficulty. The letter W means the English word Winter - winter.

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

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

• winter oils, they are more fluid and provide trouble-free engine starting in the cold season. The SAE index of such an oil will contain 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 an oil is not able to provide a lubricating film and maintain the desired pressure in the oil system due to the fact that its fluidity is excessive at high temperatures;
• 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 of engine parts. At sub-zero temperatures, starting an engine with such a high viscosity is impossible. Summer brands of oils are designated by a numerical value without letters (for example: 20, 30, 40, and so on; the larger 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 boundary density of 8-9 centistokes at an engine temperature of 100 ° C);
• multigrade oils the most popular, since they are able to work both at sub-zero and positive temperatures, the boundary value of which is indicated in the decoding of the SAE indicator. This oil has a dual designation (example: SAE 15W-40).

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

Viscosity characteristics are the very first and important element in the classification and labeling of motor oils, but not the only one - choosing oil purely by viscosity is not correct. Is always it is necessary to choose the correct relation of properties oil and operating conditions.

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

In the API classification, the main indicators are: engine type, engine operating mode, oil performance properties, application conditions 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 the purpose for diesel vehicles.

How to decipher the API marking?

As already found out, the API designation can begin with the letter S or C, which will indicate the type of engine that can be filled in, and another letter of the oil class designation, showing the level of performance.

According to this classification, the decoding of the marking of motor oils is carried out as follows:

• abbreviation EC, which is located immediately after the API, stand for energy-saving oils;
• Roman numerals after this abbreviation talking about fuel economy;
• letter S(Service) denotes applications oils for gasoline engines;
• letter C(Commercial) are denoted by ;
• after one of these letters follows performance level indicated by letters from A(lowest level) to N and further (the higher the alphabetical order of the second letter in the designation, the higher the oil class);
• universal oil has letters of both categories through an oblique line (for example: API SL / CF);
• API marking for diesel engines is 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 the current quality categories, are indicated on the labels with a round graphic symbol. At the top there is an inscription - "API" (API Service), in the middle is the degree of viscosity according to SAE, as well as a possible degree of energy saving.

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

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

The ACEA classification was developed by the Association of European Automobile Manufacturers. It indicates the performance properties, purposes and category of engine 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 – petrol and diesel engines cars, vans, minibuses (A1/B1-12, A3/B3-12, A3/B4-12, A5/B5-12);
• C – gasoline and diesel engines with catalytic converter exhaust gases (C1-12, C2-12, C3-12, C4-12);
• E – truck diesel engines(E4-12, E6-12, E7-12, E9-12).

In the ACEA designation, in addition to the engine oil class, the year of its entry into force, as well as the edition number (when the technical requirements were updated) are indicated. Domestic oils are also certified according to GOST.

Classification of motor oils according to GOST

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

• kinematic viscosity classes;
• performance groups.

By 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 the winter class, the second for summer).

In all listed classes, the larger the numerical value, the greater the viscosity.

By area of ​​application all engine oils are divided into 6 groups - they are designated from the letter "A" to "E".

Index “1” indicates oils intended for gasoline engines, 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 the oils corresponding to the ILSAC classification are energy-saving and all-weather. This classification is best suited for Japanese cars.

Correspondence of ILSAC categories regarding API:

• GF-1(obsolete) - oil quality requirements similar to API SH category; by viscosity SAE 0W-XX, 5W-XX, 10W-XX, where XX-30, 40, 50.60.
• GF-2- meets the requirement API SJ oil quality, and in terms of viscosity SAE 0W-20, 5W-20.
• GF-3- is analogue of API SL category and has been in operation since 2001.
• ILSAC GF-4 and GF-5- respectively analogues SM and SN.

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

The API and ACEA classifications set out minimum basic requirements that are agreed between oil and additive manufacturers and vehicle manufacturers. Since the designs of engines of 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 permits, which complements the ACEA classification system, with its own test engines and field testing. Engine manufacturers such as VW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Renault, BMW, GM, Porsche and Fiat predominantly use their own approvals when selecting engine oils. Specifications are always present in the car's operating instructions, and their numbers are applied to the oil packaging, next to the designation of its performance class.

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

Tolerance VW 503.00 provides that this oil is for gasoline engines with a viscosity of SAE 0W-30 and with an extended replacement interval (up to 30 thousand km), and if the exhaust system is with a three-way converter, then oil with a 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 tolerances 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, viscosity grade 0W-30, approved VW 506.00 has an extended replacement interval (for V6 TDI engines up to 30 thousand km, 4-cylinder TDI up to 50 thousand). Recommended for use in new generation diesel engines (after 2002). For turbocharged engines and a PD-TDI unit injector, it is recommended to fill in oil with a tolerance VW 506.01 having the same extended drain interval.

Approvals for Mercedes passenger cars

The Mercedes-Benz automaker also has its own approvals. For example, engine oil with the designation MB 229.1 Designed for diesel and gasoline engines manufactured since 1997. Tolerance MB 229.31 entered into force later and meets the specifications SAE 0W-, SAE 5W- with additional requirements that limit the content of sulfur and phosphorus. MB 229.5 is an energy-saving oil with an extended service life for both diesel and gasoline engines.

BMW engine oil approvals

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

Engine oil approvals 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 by ACEA C3 plus optional Renault. Approval RN0720 Designed for use in the latest generation of diesel engines with particulate filters.

Approval for Ford vehicles

SAE 5W-30 approved engine oil 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.

Oil with approval Ford M2C913-B intended for initial filling or service replacement in gasoline and diesel engines. Also meets all requirements of ILSAC GF-2 and GF-3, ACEA A1-98 and B1-98.

Tolerance Ford WSS-M2C913-D was introduced in 2012, oils with this tolerance 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 for extended drain intervals and refueling with bio-diesel or high-sulphur fuels.

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

When choosing an oil, you need to remember a few key points - this is the correct choice of the required chemical composition (mineral water, synthetics, semi-synthetics), the viscosity classification parameter, and know the necessary requirements for a set of additives (determined in API and ACEA classifications). Also, the label should contain information for which brands of machines this product is suitable. It is equally important to pay attention to the additional designations of engine oil. For example, the Long Life marking indicates that the oil is suitable for vehicles with extended service intervals. Also, among the features of some compositions, one can single out compatibility with engines that have a turbocharger, an intercooler, cooling of recirculation gases, control of timing phases and valve lift.
