Okay, here's what I've figured out so far...

Ford part WSSM2C929A5L was $30-odd for 5L of 5W-30 semi synthetic engine oil that met Ford specification WSS-M2C929-A. That was the exact spec that SY to SZII Territory I6 engines were designed to use, and presumably BF to FG-X Falcon I6 engines too. I can't find any remaining stocks of it anywhere. I suspect that it might have been Mobil Formula S supplied in a Ford container.

Ford part AX05W30A6LFD is $80-odd for 6L of 5W-30 full synthetic engine oil. I can't find any information about the specs it meets, however it is evidently not really a straight replacement for WSSM2C929A5L, and "recommended for" is not the same thing as actually meeting a spec. It'd be handy if someone with a container could confirm what's written on the label.
