grege Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Where can 0w20 motorcraft oil be purchased? I remember seeing it available ~ 1 year ago, but now even on amazon and online, only 5w20 is available. Interesting 0w20 is so rare since the cmax manual recommends it specifically. I'm ok using full sythetic brands, but prefer to try motorcraft's blend (if it's even available!). Thanks,Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus 3 golfer Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) Use Mobil 1 instead of Motorcraft. At least once a year, Mobil 1 has been offering significant rebates on a 5 quart jug. Watch for posts as to when. IIRC, the last rebate ended in May. Walmart generally has the best price on Mobil 1. Dealer is probably the best bet for Motorcraft 0W20.

ptjones Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 If you change oil yourself it only takes 4.5 quarts, save the half quart for next time you will only need 4 quarts. :) Paul Lacienega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbov Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Where can 0w20 motorcraft oil be purchased?...Amazon? Search "MOTORCRAFT-XO0W20QSP-SAE-0W-20-GF-5" and you'll find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grege Posted July 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 Amazon? Search "MOTORCRAFT-XO0W20QSP-SAE-0W-20-GF-5" and you'll find it. Interesting that it wouldn't "populate" it when only searching on 0w20...but would readily link to 5w20 (which used to be the cmax standard).

GregBetter though is that on Amazon, it says the 0w20 "does not fit your cmax..." Interesting, although it does.

fbov Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 My 2013 was spec'ed for 5W20, not 0W20 as you note. A great similarity in specs for 0W vs. 5W, combined with the uproar over MPGs, led to a change that not every souce picked up. That said, I've gone back to 5W20 because I had high fuel levels in the oil with 0W20. I'll be testing soon, and will report back what I find. Have fun,Frank grege and ptjones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacienega Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 You can order from o'reilly, they sell 1qt of motorcraft blend 0w20 for $1.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-MaxA2 Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 If you're a Costco member they have Mobil One. My local one has it always on the shelves. I don't know the price but on-line it's 6 quarts for $28.69 for 5W-20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plus 3 golfer Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) Mobil 1 rebates are usually 2x a year. Current one expires 9/30. $12 on 5 quarts. Walmart has always had the cheapest price on Mobil 1 that I could find and Mobil honors Walmart as a participating retailer. See the Mobil 1 rebate site. Mobil AFE 0W-20, 5 quarts $21.38 at Walmart less the $12 rebate which you can submit online is $9.38 for 5 quarts.

Lacienega Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 OK, forget about this good $1.99 deal. I went to o'reilly's today to order 5 qt......but....minimum order is 12 qt and you have to pay $15 for shipping to the store. Why is it so hard to get this oil? Walmart sell's a 5 qt bottle for $19.22...but only the 5W20! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptjones Posted July 26, 2019 Report Share Posted July 26, 2019 It makes more sense to get Mobil 1 IMO :) Lately I have been going to FORD Dealer to get everything checked, oil changed and tires rotated for $30. Also I do it at 26k-30k miles given the ICE only runs half that many miles and My BlackStone Lab test show that the oil is still fine. I currently have 231k miles on MADMAX :) Paul Lacienega 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacienega Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Well, I bought the Motorcraft 0w20 directly from my dealer this time for $25.60 plus tax, but I think the next time I just go with full synthetic Mobil 1 or something else as well. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestead Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Last trip to my local Walmart I noticed they had removed all the Motorcraft filters so had to go with Fram.They still carry the Mobile One 0W-20 however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacienega Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Got the Castrol GTX Magnatec 0W-20 Full Synthetic 5 qt from walmart for only $20 ? Shouldn't a blended oil be cheaper than full syn? Not more expensive? Edited April 17, 2020 by Lacienega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacienega Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Did Ford update the Motor oil recommendation for the 2014 Cmax? When I go to the Ford parts side and enter my vin# to check for recommended oil, it shows No applicable results found for my car. Only the coolant shows up. According to manual it needs the 0-20 semi blend, but they don't even sell it anymore on their website. I know they updated the spark plug #. ?

homestead Posted November 4, 2021 Report Share Posted November 4, 2021 Apr 16 2014 4848 -2013 - 2014 C-Max, Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi - Oil Viscosity Specification For 2014 C-Max, Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi, SAE 0W-20 is the initial fill oil and the recommended service oil. The oil viscosity recommendation of SAE 5W-20 on the oil fill caps on some 2014 Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi vehicles may appear to conflict with the owner guide and other service publications which recommend SAE 0W-20 oil. Both SAE 0W-20 oil and SAE 5W-20 oil are approved for use in these vehicles. 2013 C-Max, Fusion and MKZ Hybrid/Energi can also be serviced with either SAE 0W-20 oil and SAE 5W-20 oil.

Lacienega Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Thanks. I know in the manual it says you can use the 5w20 blend if 0w20 isn't available. But I'd rather use the 0w20 full syn from Mobil 1. My oil fill cap also says 0w20. I was just wondering if Ford also switched to full syn oil as recommended oil since they took the 0w20 Blend off their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove my old Escape Hybrid to just short of 200,000 miles running on 0W-20 Mobil 1 when the manual stated 5W-20. Have OW-20 in my CMax.

homestead Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 Here is the thread where I found the info above. My 2013 has 5-20 on oil cap and I think most people and myself switched to full synthetic when that news came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 We have two 2013's the earlier one has a 0W-20 oil cap and the later one has a 5W-20. The few times that I changed the oil I used 5W-20 full synthetic in both of them. Energi models only need changing every 20,000 miles or every two years. Most of our driving is around town in EV only and the engines hardly ever run, so ours have been every two years. I guess I could go with the 0W-20 from now on. Thanks for the information.

C-MaxA2 Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 My 2004 Ford Focus ZTW wagon was really happy on Mobil One 0W-20 - noticeable difference and our now 2 CMaxs are happy with Mobil One as well. The dealer lets me bring Mobil One from Costco so I'm pleased with that approach since it saves a ton of money over either Mobil One dealer supplied or the Ford Synthetic.
