What engine oil for a Ford?

The recommended engine oil for a Ford vehicle is Motorcraft* motor oil. Using the right oil helps keep the engine clean, reduces wear, and maximizes performance. You can find the recommended engine oil specifications in your Owner’s Manual under Capacities and Specifications. Alternatively, you can refer to Ford’s Chemicals and Lubricants website for the recommended transmission fluid type.
Please note that Ford has a partnership with Castrol, and Ford Castrol engine oils are designed to achieve the CO2 and fuel consumption figures stated in your owner’s handbook. However, Motorcraft* motor oil is the recommended oil for Ford vehicles.
If you need more specific information about the recommended engine oil for your Ford model, it is best to consult your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual or contact a Ford dealership for assistance.
