I thought its 0 30
I’m not sure I’m reading 0w40 on the forms and 5w50 that’s why I’m asking? Didn’t see anything about 0w30
@Mike mmm i can double check when i get home or i think its 5w30
USDM OEM is motorcraft 5w50 full synthetic
US spec is 5W50, European spec is 0W40 if I remember right. No idea why the change.
Probably different weather
5w50 is US spec 0w40 is UK spec I think
Ok I think I’ll go with the 5w50 then little heavier.
Thank you
What is on the cap??? That’s what you use!! Duh
I like to see what others are using too
I’d recommend staying with motorcaft 5w50 but some people run other brands.
5w50 motorcraft synthetic
Amsoil signature series 5w50 https://www.amsoil.com/offers/pc.aspx/?zo=5549193
Motorcraft, Amsoil or Redline. 5w50 full synthetic.
Anyone use this oil it Germany?

Waiting for next oil change… always 5w50 for me and what Ford says
And yes I’m a nerd and those are bad ass Star Wars helmets behind my oil ???
It says 5w-50 right on the cap man
But I can’t read lol and I’m on the couch ordering stuff wasn’t in the mood to look.
0W-40 as per my manual.
Is that the manual or the RS supplement, because the regular manual isn’t RS specific
@Justin supplement
That looks like euro specs to me.
That isn’t the US supplement
10w60 in summer. 0w40 in winter.
Really 0w-40? Is this what the car was really designed to take ? Dealer tell been telling me 5w50… which is better to use ? Keep in mind my car is only ever summer driven no cold conditions
0w40 is what the owners manual in europe recommends.
Thicker so 5w50 if not driven in the cold.
Thoughts on this anyone ?
5w50 is thicker then 0w40
Yes I know. If you only drive it in warm weather you want to use thicker. It gets down to -40 where I live at times. 10w60 would be a brick at that temp haha.
I feel like it should be the other way around ahha
No thicker gives you better wear protection cause the hotter oil is the thinner it gets.
Ya but too much thickness isn’t good either … just wondering what is best for me 5w50 seems more like a general oil for everyone
The only thing that will suffer is your fuel economy and even that is negligible. 5w50 will be good for you.
What does your fucking manual say? Jesus Christ.
People need validation now days. Here, I have some great advice…
Do you really think the people advising you on what oil to use are smarter then the engineers that built the engine. Something to think about. Like others have said, whatever the manual says.
The only bad question is a question not asked, fuck the trolls…. Read in between the jerks and you get the answers your looking for. ?
I know I like reading all the comments good or bad . Crude or Sarcastic. Very entertaining I will go with 5w50 I ordered a brand from Germany. Car is new to me and I was reading 2 different weights on the forms. I just like getting feed back and suggestion from other rs owners. It’s the reason I’m on the page.
@Mike me too
Just throw some 30w in and it will be fine.
Run marvel mystery oil
Ford 5W-50 full synthetic. What the cap says.
Amsoil 5w50
I do amsoil 15-50 in the summer and 5-50 in the winter.
@Alex why not just 5w50 year round
@Mike I put the fancy racing 15-50 In It in the summer because It gets the shit kicked out of It lol.
That makes sense. Dominator?
@Mike yeah exactly. I truthfully don’t even really use the car that often In the actual winter I just put the usual signature Synthetic amsoil stuff in the colder months
Honestly i would do exactly this probably.
