Engine oil and filter
recommendations

Look for this certification mark.
Ford oil specification is

WSSĆM2C153ĆG.
Use SAE 5WĆ30 motor oil certified

for gasoline engines by the

American Petroleum Institute.
Do not use supplemental engine oil

additives, oil treatments or engine

treatments. They are unnecessary

and could, under certain

conditions, lead to engine damage

which is not covered by your

warranty.
Change your engine oil and oil filter

according to the appropriate

schedule listed in the Scheduled

Maintenance Guide".
Ford production and aftermarket

(Motorcraft) oil filters are designed

for added engine protection and

long life. If a replacement oil filter

is used that does not meet Ford

material and design specifications,

startup engine noises or knock may

be experienced.
It is recommended you use the

appropriate Motorcraft oil filter

(or another brand meeting Ford

specifications) for your engine

application.
