What's your OCI? What type of driving (Lots of short trips, lots of highway, track, etc?).My free service is coming to an end and I was going to change the engine oil my self. Is there a brand and viscosity that I should go with. Is there a difference between supercharged and n/a engines. Car is 2017 model. Thanks in advance.

U.S. Owner's Manual Supplement:
Use Motorcraft SAE 5W-50 full synthetic or an equivalent SAE 5W-50 full synthetic oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C931-B.
First, refer to your owner's manual to see what your call calls for, as you're not in the U.S., so our owner's manuals don't necessarily apply to you.Not tracking the car. Mixture of city/highway driving.
The Engine Filler Cap states 5w-20, however that is the US Spec, the Australian Spec is 5W-30 (Full Synthetic).My free service is coming to an end and I was going to change the engine oil my self.

Ordered a further 20ltr today, for an upcoming service (& for the wife's Focus ST). Have used the Royal Purple since the first oil change and HPS after the custom tune.For now I supply the dealer workshop with my own oil and get a subtraction off their scheduled servicing rate. Royal Purple also have a performance 5W-30 https://www.royalpurple.com.au/store/p/hps-sae-5w-30-high-performance-street-motor-oil-5-litre which has a higher level of zinc and phosphorus but they recommend waiting until the warranty is finished. This is probably not relevant to me anyhow because I always add Ceratec after an oil change.
