Hi
I'm new here. I'm about to buy a MK7 2015 1.6 Ecoboost Fiesta ST with 150k km. I was looking at what oil is required for this engine. Looking at the manual it recommends the following
Recommended motor oil (U.S. and Mexico): WSS-M2C945-A
Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor
Oil
XO-5W20-QSP
Recommended Motor oil (Canada): WSS-M2C945-A
Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil
CXO-5W20-LSP12

But there's no mention for Europe or Italy

Even worse, when i look up the oil on Amazon i got this
Ford, Magnatec 1009373 5W-20 Original Engine Oil 5 Litres
WSS-M2C948-B

Which of course is the wrong one

Now, what oil do people in Europe or Italy use?

thanks a lot

I've been using 5w20 full synthetic since 2014. On my next oil change I'm moving to 5w30. I've got 114,600 miles on my car with no problems. I've used Castrol Magnatec and Mobil 1 synthetic and I've lived in S. California since 1986 and used the same oils in all my cars.

My UK handbook says the car can take 5w20 or 5w30, I assume the same is true for all Euro. Given the climate in Italy it’s probably worth going with 5w30. I’ve used Castrol Edge since I bought the car 8 years ago and have had no issues at all.
