Ford lube spec: Looking for an EXACT SPEC match

[GreasyG]

Hello all,

The owners manual on my 2017 C-Max calls (specifically) for:

WSS-M2C947-A

I'm looking at an oil that says it; "Meets requirements of API SN-Plus, SN, SM, or SL and ILSAC GF-5 or GF-4".

It also claims to "EXCEED ALL GM requirements (GM dexos1, Gen 2) worldwide" which sounds good, but is it PROPER (does it meet Ford Spec.) for a 2017 HYBRID 2.0 (or 2.0 Hybrid)?

THX in advance as always, folks!!

I think this is an outdated / inactive spec.

If you go to the ford owners site and view the HTML owners manual what spec does it show...

This might be one for @bdcardinal

Ford oil specs of WSS-M2C-947B1

Newbie here. I got a question for oil geeks. I've done some research. Ford's oil specs of WSS-M2C-945A/B1 are for 5W-20 oil. Ford's oil specs of WSS-M2C-947A/B1 are for OW-20 oil. You can Google up the engineering documents for those specs. 2 Separate different sources list the WSS-M2C-947A/B1...

I'm pretty sure that spec has been superseded by WSS-M2C962-A1

SAE 0W-20 Full Synthetic Motor Oil

Here you go, and yes it’s outdated. A SP rated oil would be better.

In general I don't think the Ford Spec really offers anything specific over the current API/ILSAC rating, in an EcoBoost motor, I always recommend finding something carrying the latest GM Dexos 1 approval, since Dexos1G3 is probably the most stringent spec that expands on SP/GF-6A to provide better protection to small displacement TGDI engines.

I do now realize this is not a 2.0 ecoboost, but it's still an Atkinson cycle direct injection engine, so using a spec with superior timing chain soot wear requirements is still a good idea.

Both Mobil 1 AFE, EP, and Vanilla plain Mobil Full Synthetic 0W-20 list both 947 and 962 specs…

That spec is superseded.
There are a lot of oils that met that spec when it was active.
There are a lot of oils that are licensed to the "new" spec now, and many more that would meet that spec but are not licensed.

The blend 0W20 from Motorcraft is no more. So that would be new old stock.
