Take your pick:

 

Recommended engine oil

SAE 5W-30 Ford Formula E Economy Motor Oil ACEA A1/B1 and WSS-M2C912-A1 or WSS-M2C913-A

 

Alternative engine oils

SAE 10W-30 Ford Super Multigrade Motor Oil ACEA A1/B1 or A2/B2 and/or API/SH/CD EC

SAE 10W-40 Ford XR+ High-performance High-lubricity Motor Oil ACEA A3/B3 and/or API/SH/CD EC

SAE 5W-40 Ford Formula S Synthetic Motor Oil ACEA A3/B3 and/or API/SH/CD EC

 

If engine oils with these specifications are not available, only use engine oils which conform to specification API SH/EC (Energy Conserving) or better.
