here is the spec of your engine !

as you can see this is an sn/cj-4 OIL. so you wont get any issue with this oil ,and it is whatechemacallit freidnly (egr, diesel particulate etc etc etc .very important . i always try to get an oil that do both sn and cj-4 .if an oil got those two you are covered
dont run bio diesel. or full one tank of bio diesel only once a month . try to find the 2 % bio diesel . ( as far as i know only PA and canada does it this way ! 2 % biodiesel is recommended. exit 104 i95 in virgina sell 5% biodiesel less bad then the 20% in other place but stil harmfull .if you are stuck with 20% biodiesel in your area .change oil more often
oh new zealand?sorry i dont know what oil they got there! but try to find an oil that is similar in spec to a mobil delvac le5w-30
Fully Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel Engine Oil
Product Description
Mobil Delvac 1™ LE 5W-30 is a fully synthetic, heavy-duty diesel engine oil that combines advanced engine protection for modern low emissions vehicles with enhanced fuel economy potential1 and other sustainability-related benefits such as engine durability, emissions system protection and extended drain capability.
Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 utilizes state-of-the-art technology to deliver exceptional performance and is well suited for an extensive array of diesel-powered commercial vehicles for both on- and off-highway use in industries such as transportation, mining, construction and agriculture. Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 meets or exceeds an extremely broad range of industry and manufacturer specifications from around the world.
Features and Benefits
High output, low emissions engines significantly increase demands on engine lubricants. Tighter engine design reduces oil consumption, resulting in less fresh oil makeup to replenish depleted additives. Thermal stresses on the lubricant are increased with the use of inter-coolers and turbochargers. Higher fuel injection and cylinder pressures and retarded timing improve burn efficiency, but also increase engine temperatures, volatility, and soot loading of the oil. The advanced technology in Mobil Delvac 1 LE 5W-30 delivers exceptional performance in these severe conditions while protecting emissions systems.
Features
Advantages and Potential Benefits
Advanced Wear Protection Engine Durability
Enhanced Fuel Economy Potential1 Reduced Fuel Consumption
Extended Drain Interval Capability Fewer Oil Changes and Less Oil Disposal
Emissions System Protection Emissions System Durability and Performance
Excellent Low Temperature Performance Easier Starting in Cold Weather
1 Relative to conventional 15W-40 engine oil - Actual fuel economy improvement is dependent on vehicle/equipment type, outside temperature, driving conditions and your current fluid viscosity.
Applications2
•Heavy Duty Diesel Engines including Euro V/VI and US EPA 2007/2010 Modern Low Emissions Vehicles, Utilizing Technologies such as Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), Continuously Regenerating Traps (CRT), Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOC) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
•Heavy Duty Diesel Engines using low sulfur diesel fuels and many biodiesel fuel formulations
•Naturally Aspirated and Turbo-Charged Diesel Powered Equipment
•On-Highway Short-Haul and Long-Haul Trucks and Buses
•Off-Highway Mining, Construction and Agricultural Equipment

( just in case you cant view it ! never mind mobil! the main take away here is sn,cj-4, acea e9
if the oil you look at has all that you should be way higher then what ford ask
