Description

Motul SPECIFIC 948B 5W-20 is a fully synthetic engine oil from the Specific line, built around a car maker's standard. It is intended for Ford EcoBoost petrol engines and other Ford, Jaguar and Land Rover engines that need an oil to Ford WSS-M2C948-B.

The oil is rated ACEA C5 and API SN and holds official Ford WSS-M2C948-B and JLR STJLR.03.5004 approvals. Its reduced high-temperature viscosity is aimed at saving fuel, and it is compatible with particulate filters.

Typical figures: kinematic viscosity 8.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 153, HTHS 2.6 mPa·s, pour point -39 °C, base number 8 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 0.80 %. Available in 1, 5, 20 and 208 litres.

Application

Ford, Jaguar and Land Rover cars with petrol engines, including Ford EcoBoost, for which the manufacturer requires Ford WSS-M2C948-B.

Worth knowing

Motul 6100 SAVE-LITE 5W-20 and 8100 ECO-LITE 5W-20 share the 5W-20 grade and an HTHS of 2.6 mPa·s, but their Ford codes are different, including WSS-M2C945-A, WSS-M2C945-B1 and WSS-M2C960-A1, and only as compliance. The codes WSS-M2C948-B and JLR STJLR.03.5004 are found on this can alone among Motul oils in the catalogue.

The Motul data sheet describes the scope of the standard itself in detail. It covers most Ford petrol engines where 913-A, 913-B, 913-C, 925-A or 925-B is specified, but not the Ka from August 2008 (917-A), the 2004 Focus RS (937-A), nor the 2004 Focus ST with the 2.5-litre Duratec and the 1.3, 1.6 and 1.8-litre Duratec, which need 913-D. In the line, that standard is carried by SPECIFIC 913D 5W-30, an oil of another viscosity and ACEA class A5/B5. The English edition of the data sheet adds an exception for JLR as well: STJLR.03.5004 does not cover supercharged petrol V6 and V8 engines. Why a European Ford code does not replace an American one, and how to read the exceptions to the coverage, is explained in the article on Ford WSS-M2C approvals.
