The Ford Kuga 1.5 Ecoboost engine can use both 5w-20 and 5w-30 oils. The local dealer has specified 5w-20, but it seems that both 5w-20 and 5w-30 are suitable for this engine. In fact, the car has had 5w-20 oil used for its annual service at a Ford dealer, and it seems to have had that grade every year, as per the full Ford Service History. Additionally, the oil specifications for the Ford Kuga 1.5 Ecoboost include FORD WSS-M2C 913-C and FORD WSS-M2C 913-D.
It’s important to note that using the right oil helps keep the vehicle’s engine clean, reduces overall wear, and maximizes performance. The recommended engine oil specifications can be found in the Owner’s Manual under Capacities and Specifications, or on Ford’s Chemicals and Lubricants website.
