Lubricants Multigrade oil is used in production
for the engine for "initial fill" and
this oil should not normally be changed until the
first 5,000 miles (8,000 km) have been completed.
The tabulated list of engine and transmission
oils is divided into four categories.
“Category
A”
Lubricants which carry official Ford of Britain
approval, are available readily throughout the
United Kingdom and are manufactured by a company
supplying Ford of Britain with lubricants for
production use. Lubricants in this category are
listed in all Domestic Editions of Owners
Handbooks, Ford Service Voucher Books and similar
publications.
“Category
B”
Lubricants which carry official Ford of Britain
approval, are available throughout the United
Kingdom, but are not manufactured by a supplier
to Ford of Britain.
“Category
C”
Lubricants which carry qualified Ford of Britain
approval by meeting all technical requirements,
but not necessarily being generally available
throughout the United Kingdom.
“Category
D”
Lubricants which carry qualified Ford of Britain
approval by meeting all technical requirements,
but being available only in European territories
excluding the United Kingdom.
It
does not follow that the lubricants listed under
Categories A and B (C is not applicable to this
model range at present) will be necessarily
marketed in any Export territory or, if available
under the same brand name. However, to enable you
to obtain lubricants of the same specification
the appropriate Ford Specification Numbers are
also quoted on the following pages. In any case,
temperature variations in individual territories
could involve a change of viscosity rating of the
lubricant concerned.
All the approved
engine and transmission lubricants tabulated are
miscible and compatible with one another but if,
for instance, an SAE 10W engine oil were added to
one of SAE 10W/30 type then the viscosity rating
of the latter would be affected according to the
percentage of dilution.
