Ford 2.0ecoboost oil spec

[Rjrato]

Hi all!

Can anyone of you tell me if i can use Ford 946-A oil on motors that require 913-C?

As i read somehere, 946-A superceded 929-A, but can't find out if the last one superceded 913-C.

It's for my Ford Mondeo 2.0 Ecoboost. I'm from Portugal and no one knows much about it here. Always used Ford Formula F 5w30 913-C, but it's not full sintetic and i want to change it, maybe amsoil 5w30.

Any sugestion?

You could try using one of the many oil manufacturers oil checker websites to see what they advice.

then check prices on somewhere like Opie Oils to see if it is cheaper to buy online instead of locally/

Ford WSS-M2C913-A
Engine oil, Initial and service fill, SAE 5W-30. This specification meets the ILSAC GF-2 and ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 and additional Ford requirements.
Ford WSS-M2C913-B
The Ford M2C913-B specification is released in Europe for initial fill engine oils used for lubrication of spark ignition engines using gasoline and for compression ignition engines using diesel fuels. The specification is also used to define engine oils for servicing Ford engines where applicable. The oil shall meet all the requirements of the ILSAC GF-2 and GF-3 specification, the ACEA A1-98 and B1-98 specification and additional Ford requirements.
Ford WSS-M2C913-C
Fully backwards compatible and is strongly recommended for all applications that currently require the specification Ford M2C913-B. The new engine oil provides various benefits to the customer such as improved fuel economy benefits and high robustness to biodiesel fuels.
Ford WSS-M2C913-D
Introduced in 2012, oils meeting this specification are recommended for all Ford diesel engines except Ford Ka TDCi models manufactured before 2009 and Ford Galaxy 1.9 TDi models manufactured between 2000 and 2006. A product meeting this specification is especially recommended for diesel engines where M2C913-B or M2C913-C oils were initially required. An oil meeting this specification must be used in Ford Transit vehicles manufactured from 2012 onward with Duratorq 2.2 engine. Oils meeting this specification can be used with extended oil change intervals and are also suitable to be used in engines running on biodiesel or high sulfur diesel.
Ford WSS-M2C917-A
Viscosity SAE 5W40 engine oil for pump injector diesel engines.
Ford WSS-M2C934-A

Topping up the oil:
Engine oil - Diesel (for markets with low sulphur content less than 350 ppm): If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined in the vehicle fluids table, you must use SAE 5W-30 that meets the specification defined by ACEA A5/B5.
Engine oil - Diesel (for markets with high sulphur content greater than 350 ppm): If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined in the vehicle fluids table, you must use SAE 10W-30 that meets the specification defined by API CH-4.
For petrol engines only, If you are unable to find an oil that meets the specification defined in the vehicle fluids table, you must use SAE 5W-20 or SAE 5W-30 that meets the specification defined by either ACEA A5/B5, API SM or API SN.

The last link says for Petrol engines which spec these oils : WSS M2C913-C WSS-M2C-913-D WSS-M2C929-A WSS M2C930-A WSS M2C946-A WSS M2C945-A

If you can't get the correct oil then run an A5/B5 oil


The first link says the 913 oils are based on ILSAC GF and ACEA A1/B1 specs.

To me it's saying Ford 5W20 oil is based on A1/B1, while Ford 5W30 oil is based on A5/B5.

Your car runs 5W30, so if you can't get a Ford oil you are happy with, consider a quality synthetic 5W30 A5/B5 oil. That should be easy enough in Europe.
