Engine oil selection

Modern highly accelerated engines equipped with exhaust gas toxicity reduction systems (especially neutralizers) place higher demands on motor oils. The oil must not evaporate at the high temperatures to which the cylinder bores are exposed. Under these unfavorable conditions, the oil film must not break. The oil should burn without residue, bind soot and dirt so that they are not deposited in the engine. To effectively control deposits in the engine lubrication system, oils must have high detergent properties.

The main reasons for premature «aging» oils and deposits are:

- engine operation «poor» blends to save fuel;

- extended oil change intervals;

- Predominance of trips over short distances.

Warning: Use only oils recommended by Ford.

When buying oil, you should pay attention to the following:

- oil quality according to the API scale - American Petroleum Institute (in addition, there are other classification systems - European car manufacturers (CCMC), US Department of Defense (MIL) and a number of others);

- SAE oil viscosity (Society of Automotive Engineers, or Society of Automotive Engineers). Winter oils include SAE 5W, 10W, 15W oils; for summer oils - SAE 30, 40 and 50; to universal oils - SAE 15W-50.
