Engine oil specifications To help achieve acceptable engine performance and durability, it is important that only engine oils of good quality are used in your diesel engine and it is changed at the recommended interval. For normal or severe service, use Motorcraft oil or an equivalent oil conforming to Ford specification WSS-M2C171-E or API service categories CJ-4 or CJ-4/SM. It is important to use these oils because they are compatible with the emission control equipment of your vehicle to meet the more stringent emission standards. The use of correct oil viscosities for diesel engines is important for satisfactory operation. Determine which oil viscosity best suits the temperature range you expect to encounter for the next service interval from the following SAE viscosity grade chart. 45 2009 Econoline (eco) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
