What kind of Synthetic Oil does Ford use?

GM recommends Dexos in all newer GM s. Does Ford have a specialty oil that they recommend/prefer? Especially something that won't void a warranty

Pennzoil, the cheap stuff. Use it and see what happens.

The requirements will be in the Owner's Manual, in the self-maintenance section. If we knew what Ford vehicle this is (model and year) we could look it up.

If you know what Ford specify look for this number on the can of oil. Most fully synthetic oil of the recommended weight will meet or exceed their requirements.

Using other than the "Ford" recommended brand will not void the warranty.

Ford's Motorcraft brand motor oils are usually synthetic-blend oils, though certain more "exotic" and less commonly used grades of Motorcraft oil are actually full synthetic.

If you get an oil change at a Ford dealership service shop, Motorcraft brand oil is likely the oil they'll use. Using a different brand or having the oil changed somewhere else etc., won't void the factory warranty. That said, you'd probably be best off using another synthetic blend or full synthetic motor oil if you plan to change the brand of oil you're using. One of the biggest advantages a synthetic (or a blend) has over conventional oil is a better resistance to sludge build-up if the oil either isn't changed in a timely manner or if the engine is regularly run a lot harder than the average person would run it over the oil's drain interval.

The american motorist attitude towards oil and changing it differs wildly to the european way… Every 3.000 -5.000 mile changes seem way over the top to us. Just take a trip to europe .to you guys its like a race circuit. We drive faster and harder than anywhere in america. I know. I have driven through 36 states .driven from seattle to san diego .across to key west .up to buffalo .across canada to seattle. And reversed the trip .never met anyone driving in anger .everyday thing over here… Yet our engines are smaller and much more stressed than yours. We only change our oil every year. Or 12500 miles .yet our engines last as long as yours… As for oil changes .a lot of manufacturers .AUDI for one. Now state .change oil every 2 YEARS. Or 19.000 miles .fords recommend the same… As for the latest FORD SUPER OIL .what's its grade? 10-60 … They says its suitable for every vehicle including ferrari and porsche… Bet they don't say that in america!

Put the RECOMMENDED oil as stated in the owner's manual. It is NOT rocket science.

The absolutely only reason GM recommends Dexos is because Dexos is a AC Delco product owned by General Motors.

Dexos has nothing special about it. If fact is it very average quality engine oil.

Whether you have a Ford, GM, Toyota, whatever, simply use any quality API certified oil from top manufactures such as Castrol, Mobile 1, Valvoline, etc.

MOTORCRAFT OIL It is said comes from CONOCO PHILLIPS! BUt there's a FORD SPEC NUMBER to look for1 The MANUAL wl say what that number is! ALWAYS look for the SPEC NUMBER and NOT the ViSCOSITY ratings, which is the BARE MINIMUM of things! MOBIL OIL makes SUPERB oil for FORD engines with the latest "0" series ratings! I also LOVE TOTAL ENERGY OIL for FORD engines, and AMSOIL oil as well! There's ALSO LIQUI MOLY from Germany since mos FORD engines are made to EUROPEAN standards! And AMSOIL allows for a 20,000 miles OIL CHANGE with ONE filter change in between. The SPEC NUIMBER is the MOST important! TOTAL ENERGY OIL is ALSO one of my favorites and I DESPISE vALVOLINE< an OIL that NO factory on earth wil use due to its ability to SLUDGE and TAR over and WAX over engien parts, and ROT rubber engine parts! When in DOUBT use an oil with the AUDI 502/505 RATING! This is REAL euroepan oil for a GREAT FORD EUROPEAN desg9gned engine!

  • Can I use synthetic in a brand new engine? I just rebuilt an engine for a 91 ford ranger 2.3L. My manual says to use 5w-20 conventional but since there have been some advancements in the synthetic oils since the 70's, do I need to worry about seal swell or shrink? My instinct is to just use conventional to play it safe, but I'd really like to use synthetic. I'm reading conflicted information…
  • Is the oil for a 2013 Ford Fusion synthetic only? Just went to Pep Boys and wanted a conventional oil change on my car, which takes 5W-20. Apparently their records state that they "can only legally put in synthetic oil" since it's what the manufacturer recommends. The last time I was here they did it with normal oil, no problem. Did I just get screwed?
  • What type of full synthetic oil to put in 2005 ford focus? I have a 2005 ford focus ST zx4 and need to add oil, this is the first time adding oil since I bought the car. All I know is that the previous owner used full synthetic. I have to add just about a quarter of oil until an oil change in a few weeks. I have heard that full synthetic 5w-30 or 5w-40 is good but no lower than 5w-30 or I can take the chance of blowing up my car… Any thoughts on this?
  • Can I use synthetic oil on my truck? I drive a 2003 ford f 150 4.6 engine and it's time get an oil change.is it ok if I use the synthetic oil instead of high mileage one it take 5 20 and it has a 169000 miles on it
