    The spec for my son's my16 D4 3 ltr is WSSM2C913 -D from his manual so this oil can be used in his vehicle also.
    Cheers

    The only thing to keep in mind, is that it is on clearance - so if you are on a trip and want to top-up, you'll have to lug some oil with you... rather than calling into a car parts shop to buy some more.

    IMHO theres better oils out there. A1/B1 has been dropped from the ACEA 2016 schedule

    I used to use Valvoline synpower FE 5W-30 in my D3 - it meets specs ACEA: A1/B1, A5/B5 & Ford WSS-M2C-913D, Ford WSS-M2C-913C, B, A
    I now use Valvoline Sympower 5W-40 ACEA: A3/B4 & BMW LL-01 so does not meet any of the Ford specs. Im seeing a vastly improved level of wear from the A3/B4 valvoline oil with a longer drain interval than the ford spec oil.

    Interesting Shane.

    Mich better HTHS with the A3/B3 oil.

    I'm running an E6/E9 mid SAPS oil in the TD5 but haven't taken any samples yet

    Hi Guys seems odd that Ford are using the Magntec A5 in their new Rangers and Mustangs if ACEA A3 B4 is a better oil. My have to do with clearances as the A5 according to the above chart is only suitable for certain engines
    Cheers

    From what I've read into it and understand the A5 is more a fuel efficency based thing as it specifically for lower viscosity oils. That would be a major focus for car manufacturers over engine protection (still needs to provide adequate protection to get the massess through warrenty without causing issues however)
