Description

Mobil Super 3000 Formula F 5W-20 is an engine oil with a reduced HTHS viscosity (below 2.9 mPa·s) for Ford engines specifying WSS-M2C948-B, above all the three-cylinder 1.0 EcoBoost, and for Asian cars that need 5W-20. ExxonMobil excludes certain generations of the Ford Ka and Focus RS from its applications.

According to the oil maker, it meets the requirements of Ford WSS-M2C948-B without a formal approval. It is rated ACEA C5 and API SN.

Typical figures: viscosity 7.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -36 °C, sulphated ash 0.8 %.

It should not be used in engines designed for thicker oils.

Application

Ford engines for which the manufacturer requires WSS-M2C948-B, above all the three-cylinder 1.0 EcoBoost, and Asian cars requiring 5W-20. ExxonMobil excludes certain generations of the Ford Ka and Focus RS.

Worth knowing

The WSS-M2C948-B code does not cover every petrol Ford. According to the article on the Ford WSS-M2C codes, it covers most engines formerly specified for 913-A, B, C or 925, but not those needing 913-D, including some Duratec 1.3, 1.6 and 1.8 units. Going by the oil data sheets the article cites, the second-generation Ka (917-A) and the Focus RS with the 2.5 Duratec (937-A) also have specifications of their own. For the newer 1.0 EcoBoost Ford now specifies a 0W-20 to 954-A1, and, by the oil makers’ data the article relies on, the step between these codes is one-way: an oil with 954-A1 can be used where 948-B was required, but an oil with 948-B does not qualify as 954-A1.

Despite the shared letter F, Formula F 0W-30 from the same line is designed for a different Ford specification, WSS-M2C950-A, which the article ties to the new-generation TDCi diesels and the 2.0 EcoBlue in the Transit Custom; it shares no code with this oil. ExxonMobil gives the phosphorus content of Formula F 5W-20 as 0.08 %. The Ford WSS-M2C948-B page shows which oil makers hold an official Ford approval for 948-B and which, like ExxonMobil, only claim compliance.
