Hi All,
Just thought I would share my experience. I am looking to do my own oil changes between scheduled services at my local Ford dealership. I have found that the 2.0L EcoBoost Engine requires Fords latest approval code WSS-M2C913-C in a 5W-30 Full Synthetic Oil. After speaking to a couple of local dealerships this oil is not sold in parts as a 5L oil container. Infact, it is hard to source at all. The dealerships tend to use ether of the following; Castrol Magnatec Professional A5 5W-30 Full Synthetic or Valvoline SynPower FE 5W-30 Full Synthetic as both have Ford Approved WSS-M2913-C compliance. I have spoken to both Castrol and Valvoline locally and neither have in a 5L container, only available in a 20L drum. For me right now that was not convinient. The only other local option was Motul 8100 Eco-nergy 5W-30 Full Synthetic, however the price for a 5L and 1L bottle was well over $120AUD. So I sourced Genuine Ford Formula F 5W-30 Full Synthetic (WSS-M2913-C) from a UK Ford Dealership in a 5L and 1L container (as it is a 5.4L fill). It turns out to be Castrol oil anyway. This can be sourced for a very attractive price, ordered on Monday and arrived today. Just thought I would share my learnings of this great EcoBoost engine!!!
