Castrol 5w-30 is the raccomanded engine oil for Ford Fiesta Petrol/LPG?

Posted by Haern17@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 4 comments

Good evening, I need to change the engine oil in my 2017 Ford Fiesta MK6 97CV Petrol/LPG. I have always used Mobil-1 5W-30 oil for the last 50k km but reading the maintenance manual I noticed that the Ford recommends a Castrol 5W-30 oil that is WSS-M2C913-C and ACEA A1/B1, A5/B5.

So far so good, but I have a doubt since the product packaging says Gasoline and Diesel, while as already said my Fiesta is Petrol/LPG.

Am I misunderstanding or is the Castrol product incorrect?

Petrol = gasoline.

It's co-branding. Ford (like most other MFRs) made a deal with Castrol to supply their factories and as part of that deal they make mention of the brand as recommended in the owner's manual, put a sticker in the engine bay, etc. They do the same with tires. Nothing against Castrol, which makes a fine product. But any oil that meets the spec will be fine. Brand doesn't matter.

Only be concerned with the oil specifications that you found in the manual, don’t worry about the words on the front of the label.
