However, generally, Ford recommends oils meeting the WSS-M2C913-A or WSS-M2C913-C specifications. These specifications often translate to oils such as:
* 5W-30: This is a common and often recommended grade for many 1.8 Duratec engines, particularly in moderate climates.
* 5W-20: Might be specified for newer models or those focused on fuel economy.
* 10W-40: Less common now, but might be suitable in hotter climates.
Do not rely on this information alone. Always check your owner's manual for the precise oil grade and specification recommended for your specific vehicle. Using the wrong oil can damage your engine.
