Notes:
When the American Petroleum Institute (API) CK-4 standard was released in 2016, Ford replaced its original recommendation of WSS-M2C171-D with WSS-M2C171-F1. Ford Motor Company maintains its recommendation for motor oils meeting the specific Ford WSS-M2C171-F1 specification instead of generic CK-4 oils for its 3.2L, 6.7L, and older diesel engines (4.5L, 6.0L, 6.4L, and 7.3L). This is due to tests showing some CK-4 formulations offered less wear protection than the CJ-4 oils licensed before 2016. As a result, Ford added specific requirements to its WSS-M2C171-F1 standard for better wear protection. As a result, Ford added specific requirements to its WSS-M2C171-F1 standard for better wear protection. Following the practice of many Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Ford recommends using oils that meet its own standard, the Ford Material Engineering Specification WSS-M2C171-F1.
