What is the recommended engine oil for my vehicle?
Ford recommends using Motorcraft® motor oil for your Ford vehicle. Using the right oil helps keep your vehicle’s engine clean, reduces overall wear, and maximizes its performance.
Recommended engine oil specifications can be found in your Owner's Manual under Capacities and Specifications.
Alternatively, you can refer to Ford's Chemicals and Lubricants website to find the recommended transmission fluid type.

next to Motorcraft®* Oil Quick Reference Oil Applications And Crankcase Capacities Charts. - Once downloaded, open the PDF.
- There are multiple tables based on oil type. Locate your vehicle model and engine size in the left column of one of the tables. Note: To find your vehicle's engine size, refer to your vehicle's window sticker.
- Model years appear on the right side of the table. If the box under your vehicle's model year is shaded, the recommended Motorcraft oil type, filter, and refill amount at the top of the table are the ones your vehicle uses.
