If you use oil and fluids that do not meetthe defined specification and viscositygrade, this may lead to:
•Component damage which is notcovered by the vehicle warranty.
•Longer engine cranking periods.
•Increased emission levels.
•Reduced engine performance.
•Reduced fuel economy.
•Degraded brake performance.
Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motoroil is not mandatory. Only use fluid thatmeets Ford specifications. Motor oils ofthe recommended viscosity grade thatmeet API SN requirements and display theAPI Certification Mark for gasoline enginesare also acceptable. Do not use oil labeledwith API SN service category unless thelabel also displays the API certificationmark.
An oil that displays this symbol conformsto current engine, emission system andfuel economy performance standards ofthe International Lubricant Standardizationand Approval Committee (ILSAC).
