9 best engine oils for Ford Focus
For 20 years, Ford Focus has remained popular, being an unpretentious and reliable car. To ensure reliable operation of its engine, it is necessary to use engine oil approved and recommended by the factory, or fill in a grease that has similar parameters.
Not only the operation of the power plant depends on the correctness of this choice, but also the duration of the operation of the unit. Our rating review presents the best oils from various manufacturers, the main parameters of which are optimal for each specific Ford Focus engine (in Russia, models with standard Endura, Zetec-E, Duratec and Eco Boost (Fox) engines are most widely used).
The best synthetic oils for the Ford Focus engine
Synthetics have the properties necessary for high-quality lubrication of modern engines, have more reliable protection against oxidative processes and reacts little to high operating temperatures inside the engine. Also an important feature of this category of lubricants is a long operating period, during which all the declared characteristics of the oil are maintained.
5 LUKOIL GENESIS ARMORTECH A5B5 5W-30
The oil is formulated on a high quality synthetic base, fortified with a whole set of highly active modern DuraMax additives, developed specifically for the line of synthetic lubricants of this brand. As a result, the products have good lubricating properties, antioxidant effect, and do not fade even under extreme loads.
Almost none of the reviews are critical of this oil. Affordable cost, economical operation of the motor, absence of neoplasms in the oil system are noted. Moreover, existing deposits in the engine dissolve gently and gradually, and without precipitation, can be removed with the next lubricant change. As a result, the efficiency of the motor increases, the level of vibration and noise during operation without load is reduced.
4 XENUM OEM-LINE FORD 913-D 5W30
High quality oil with a low content of sulfates, sulfur and phosphorus inclusions, can be filled in diesel and gasoline engines of Ford Focus vehicles with the appropriate approval. Provides minimal wear of friction pairs, the content of carboxylic acid esters (esters) maintains an oil film at high temperature loads, and increases the operating cycle.
The reviews indicate a more economical operation of the motor, an excellent washing effect, starting the engine in winter, even in severe frosts, does not cause difficulties. A comprehensive selection of additives, which is part of Xenum engine oil, increases the resource of not only the internal combustion engine, but also the exhaust system.
3 MOBIL SUPER 3000 X1 FORMULA FE 5W-30
All over the world, Mobil motor oils have established themselves as quality and reliable products. By purchasing this lubricant for the engine of their Ford Focus, owners can fall for an outright fake, the properties of which can ruin the engine of even a tractor. Numerous reviews are full of high ratings for the performance of Mobil Super, and only the lack of decency among some sellers spoils the big picture.
In general, the oil ensures reliable operation of the internal combustion engine at any time of the year; winter is not unusual for a product developed in Finland. It can be successfully used in the northern regions of the country, with more severe climatic conditions. In addition, the lubricant reliably protects the engine from overheating, does not form carbon deposits and stops corrosion processes inside the engine. The complex action of this oil inevitably leads to an increase in motor life.
2 CASTROL MAGNATEC PROFESSIONAL E 5W-20
A good high-tech oil that provides a long engine life with regular, timely changes.The molecular structure of the lubricant ensures the coating of the parts, especially strengthening in places of high energies (points of contact of friction pairs) and preventing direct contact. Even at long intervals in engine operation, the molecular structure retains the required amount of oil on the working surfaces and provides lubrication of the parts until the oil pump creates working pressure in the system.
Many Ford Focus car owners began to fill in this oil from the first days of operation, and in their reviews they note complete satisfaction with its properties and high-quality engine performance. During use, the formation of any deposits in the engine was not noticed and there is not even a hint of their appearance.
1 FORD FORMULA F 5W30
Made specifically for Ford automotive products, it provides optimal conditions for engine operation under any load. The base lubricating base is obtained by a traditional hydrocracking method and, thanks to a multi-stage purification system, is not inferior in characteristics to synthetics obtained from gas. The surface of the parts inside the motor is covered with a strong oil film, which reduces friction, preventing premature engine wear.
In the reviews of Ford Focus owners, the stability of the viscosity of the oil, good fluidity in severe frosts, a simultaneous increase in engine power and fuel economy are positively assessed. A set of high-quality additives ensures the stability of the oil structure - it does not dilute at high temperatures and prolonged loads. It also has a good cleaning effect without creating any deposits in the motor.
The best semi-synthetic oils for the Ford Focus engine
Semi-synthetics are actually a synthesized oil, diluted in different proportions with mineral oil. The temperature resistance of such an oil is lower than that of pure synthetics, but otherwise the lubricant does an excellent job. The use looks more preferable in engines with high wear, but it can be poured into modern engines as well. In this case, one should not forget that the interval between replacements in this case will be shorter.
4 Comma X-Flow Type F 5W-30
A special feature of this lubricant is the presence of an exclusive Infineum additive package, which provides an excellent detergent and anti-corrosion effect. Thanks to the atomic inclusions of the metals Ph and Zn, the best sliding performance was achieved, which significantly reduced the wear of parts during operation.
Ford Focus owners characterize the oil as a reliable protection for the engine. The reviews indicate an improvement in the dynamics of the internal combustion engine, a decrease in noise during engine operation without load, and fuel economy. When operating in northern regions, Comma X-Flow has proven itself well, providing easy start-up in frosts exceeding -30 ° C.
3 MOTUL 6100 SAVE-LITE 5W20
Another Ford recommended oil deserves to be included in our rankings. There are only two drawbacks to this product - the relatively high cost and the ability to purchase a miserable parody of it under the guise of Motul 6100. The latter simply obliges Ford Focus owners to be more selective when choosing a seller.
As for the cost, then against the background of how the engine “rejoices” this oil, and with each subsequent replacement it increases its resource more and more, the price looks quite justified. Low sulphated ash content, satisfactory detergent and oxidizing effect prevent the grease from burning out under any load. Chemical stability at high operating temperatures of modern internal combustion engines provides unsurpassed qualities and provides reliable protection for engine components.
2 LIQUI MOLY SPECIAL TEC F 5W-30
The oil of this brand does not need advertising - it is one of the leaders in the lubricants market that sets a high level of quality.Despite the fact that the base of this grease is based on a mineral base, the technology of deep distillation (hydrocracking) has made it possible to achieve a quality comparable to pure synthetics.
Special tec is approved for use in Ford vehicles. The high alkaline index of the oil (10.3) leaves no chance for corrosive and other oxidative processes inside the engine, prevents the formation of deposits and carbon deposits. There is an increased service life and stability of operation in high-energy modern motors, which is not entirely typical for lubricants of this category.
1 FORD MOTORCRAFT SAE 5W30 SYNTHETIC BLEND
This premium oil is formulated from the purest, multi-stage refined base. The oil film is resistant to shear, oxidation and mechanical stress. The result is a phenomenal reduction in friction, an increase in engine power and resource. There is also a high level of detergent properties that keep the lubrication system clean at the level of a new engine. To some extent, all of these factors also contribute to fuel economy.
Many owners constantly pour this oil into Ford Focus, especially since it was developed just for the cars of this manufacturer. The grease has performed well in a wide variety of operating conditions. There are positive reviews from drivers who successfully use Ford motorcraft in the northern regions, rural areas (off-road conditions), as well as in ordinary urban conditions. Everywhere the oil copes well with loads, retains its properties throughout the entire period of operation.
