Motorcraft has launched a premium-quality passenger car motor oil recommended by Ford Motor Company for 2013 model year and forward hybrid electric vehicles. SAE 0W-20 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil meets engine oil recommendations for Ford, Lincoln and many other equipment manufacturers. It is API Certified for Gasoline Engines, ILSAC GF-5 and meets API SN/Resource Conserving.

Motorcraft has added premium quality motor oil to its line-up, geared specifically towards hybrid electric vehicles,” said Robert Boss, Motorcraft Maintenance Marketing Manager. “When Ford and many other manufacturer vehicles use Ford Quick Lanes, there is now a Motorcraft oil that delivers superior quality for this market subset.”

SAE 0W-20 includes performance additives and friction-reducing technology that provides superior engine protection and energy-conserving characteristics, which result in improved fuel economy compared to SAE 5W-20 and 5W-30 motor oils. Manufactured with high-viscosity index, premium-quality synthetic/hydroprocessed base oils and specifically designed performance additives, SAE 0W-20 helps minimize engine deposits and wear, protects against high temperatures, low-temperature gelling, rust corrosion and foaming.

With this addition, Motorcraft’s product offerings now cover eight different engine oil viscosities with many available in both a semi-synthetic and full-synthetic formulation. Whether you’re servicing a Ford or non-Ford vehicle, Motorcraft can provide the correct oil for the engine.

SAE 0W-20 hit the market in February 2014. It is available everywhere Motorcraft products are sold.
