No special use purposes, it's their reccomendation for engine oil that contradicts the oil filler cap.That has to be for special use purposes. Unfortunately I cannot read Italian.

Wait, what.... Ford is reccomending a DIESEL engine oil in the EU Mustangs to shave a little bit of fuel consumption??
Re-reading your post made me realize that we have something our American brothers don't: GPF.I believe ACEA C2 is more specific for exhaust systems with particulate filters.
I wouldn't say that. As long as the oil meets the manufacturer's specifications, it's going to be fine. The fact that a certain specification just happens to suit diesel engines doesn't mean it isn't suitable for gasoline.I really really don't like the idea of putting diesel oil in that car.
Generally speaking, yes. But what I think happened in this particular instance is a little different.I wouldn't say that. As long as the oil meets the manufacturer's specifications, it's going to be fine. The fact that a certain specification just happens to suit diesel engines doesn't mean it isn't suitable for gasoline.
Overthinking is my second name, but sometimes bears fruits.You're overthinking it. The engine won't be harmed in the least by using an oil that meets the manufacturer's recommended specifications. Be it under warranty or not.
My 2020 Euro manual recommends the same oil that was recommended in the States at the time. That is, 5W-20, with the provision that 0W-20 can be used in extremely cold climates.Overthinking is my second name, but sometimes bears fruits.
I subscribe to what you say, that's why I'm sticking with the original specification for this engine (and for sure what it has inside now, at initial fill) rather than the matched one for this side of the pond.
It's in the same page I posted actually, but my fault I didn't translate that.What does your manual tell you to use if you can't find WSS-M2C950-A? It must be on the page following the one pictured above.
My mistake. I missed that.It's in the same page I posted actually, but my fault I didn't translate that.
The manual calls for API SP or ACEA C2.
Yes, it does have a GPF. No, it doesn't recommend a different oil for track use, neither for the 5.0 nor for the 2.3. The only exception mentioned is 0W for extremely cold climates instead of 5W.
- Does your car have a GPF?
- Does your manual recommends a different oil for track usage?
I was under the impression that only the F150 with Gen 3 Coyote has cylinder deactivation. I sure hope my 22 GT doesnt have that BS.....I'm pretty sure the 21 F150 coyote does. Don't know about the mustang..
Correct me if I'm wrong, But I believe the mustang does not use the belt driven oil pump or cylinder deactivation...These are only in the F150.....At least I hope soBoth the f150 and GT are using a belt driven oil pump now, too. That's an interesting change. I guess OPG gears can't be recommended anymore .
I can't stand cylinder deactivation so that part sucks. My educated guess is that cylinder deactivation pushes the mpg up enough to make any slight bump 5w20 gives a moot point. So they can now spec 5w30. That or they feel 5w30 may help mitigate oil consumption issues brought on from cylinder deactivation; even though GM uses 5w30/5w40.
Totally agree, I have multiple horror stories of loose drain plugs, underfilling, overfilling, wrong filter etc. The dealer is the last place I want changing my oil. They use minimum wage crack heads as lube techs. The mechanics are another story. Most are very reputable technicians, but those guys generally dont do the oil changes....Oh yeah youTube that's always creditable, nothing but the truth and the whole truth.
A catastrophic engine failure cause by the oil used. Can only happen if you run out of oil , or do not change it. Either one of those leaves behind PLENTY of evidence to be found.
Remember, youBoob only shows one side of the story, you're missing the other 2 sides.
So I'd hold my bet ...and BTW Ford did do the work.
Asking what's the point ?
I never let the dealer change my oil ...........
You're not. I made that post a while ago and was in error. My apologies. Now that doesn't include the 2024 s650. I have no idea if that's belt or not.Correct me if I'm wrong, But I believe the mustang does not use the belt driven oil pump or cylinder deactivation...These are only in the F150.....At least I hope so
