FAQs

Is this oil compatible with non-Ford vehicles?

This oil is specifically designed for Ford engines meeting the WSS-M2C948-B specification; check your vehicle's manual for API or ACEA requirements before using it in other brands.

What does the 5W-20 rating mean?

5W indicates the oil's flow characteristics at low temperatures (cold start), while 20 refers to the oil's viscosity at high operating temperatures.

Can I mix this with other engine oils?

While it can be mixed with other oils, doing so may dilute the high-performance benefits of the PurePlus synthetic formula. It is best to use this exclusively.

How often should I change this oil?

Follow the service intervals recommended by your vehicle manufacturer, as these are determined by your specific engine design and driving conditions.

What is PurePlus Technology?

It is a proprietary Shell process that converts natural gas into a crystal-clear base oil that is virtually free of impurities found in crude oil.

Troubleshooting

Oil pressure warning light stays on after change

Verify that the correct amount of oil was added and ensure the oil filter is tightened and seated correctly.

Engine sounds noisier than usual

Check the oil dipstick to ensure the levels are between the minimum and maximum markers; adjust if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent engine cleanliness due to PurePlus Technology
  • Optimized for modern Ford Ecoboost engine requirements
  • Backwards compatible with older Ford specifications like WSS-M2C913-B and C
  • High thermal stability for demanding driving conditions

Cons

  • Limited to 5W-20 viscosity applications
  • Not intended for non-Ford engines requiring different specifications
  • Higher cost compared to conventional mineral oils

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, verify that your vehicle's owner manual specifically recommends a 5W-20 oil meeting the Ford WSS-M2C948-B specification. This oil is fully backwards compatible with WSS-M2C913-B, WSS-M2C913-C, and WSS-M2C925-A, making it a versatile choice for a range of older and newer Ford models. Always drain the old oil completely from the sump and replace the oil filter during each service to maximize the benefits of the synthetic formula. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and ensure the cap is tightened firmly after partial use to prevent moisture contamination.
