77 Lubricants Motor Oil FEC 5W-30

Worth knowing

Across the whole 77 Lubricants range in the catalogue, Ford WSS-M2C913-C and WSS-M2C913-D are claimed only for FEC, and among the brand’s 5W-30 oils only this one has ACEA A5/B5. In the same Motor Oil line, the 5W-30 oils CT, SFP and VX, for example, have ACEA C3 with sulphated ash of 0.7-0.79 %, RN has ACEA C4 and no more than 0.5 % ash, while FEC has 1.08 %. Among the brand’s 5W-30 oils, only Motor Oil MP 5W-30 also carries the Renault RN0700 code, but that is an A3/B4 oil with 1.3 % ash, VW 502.00 and VW 505.00, and no Ford code at all.

The data sheet presents the whole list with the word “exceeds”, that is, as the oil maker’s own statement, and writes the codes without hyphens or in shortened form, such as “Ford WSS M2C913C” or “Renault 0700”. It also gives the CCS dynamic viscosity at -30 °C separately, at most 3,850 mPa·s. How 913 differs from 948-B or 950-A, and why it is the full code with its suffix that decides, is the subject of the article on Ford WSS-M2C approvals.
