Oil FORD Formula F 5W30

In any vehicle, it is recommended to use original lubricants, those created specifically for this brand of car and those filled at the factory. A whole series of such lubricants is produced for Ford cars, one of which is FORD Formula F 5W30.

Product Description

Of course, hardly any car company makes special carrier fluids for themselves. Its production is trusted by trusted companies. Ford's lubricants supplier is BP Europe, a well-known global manufacturer of fuels and lubricants with offices all over the world.

Ford Formula F 5W30 - hydrocracking synthetics. That is, it is produced from petroleum products by special distillation and exhaustive purification. The resulting product has excellent lubricity and performance characteristics almost as good as conventional PAO synthetics.

Friction testing has shown that this product creates a strong oil film on the surface of the parts, which facilitates sliding, significantly reducing friction and wear. This prolongs the life of the engine, reduces the risk of breakdowns.

Additives added to the base oil make the product stable no matter what loads and tests it falls, and also have excellent detergent properties. They effectively prevent the formation of sludge, varnish deposits, soot and prevent thickening of the lubricant.

Stable viscosity is a significant advantage for residents of regions with frosty winters. Thanks to this, the fluidity of the lubricant remains excellent at any time of the year, which makes it easier to start a cold engine, ensuring it is protected and lubricated from the first seconds of operation. As for high temperatures, this product also shows its best side: when heated, it does not liquefy and does not burn much more than the minimum.

It is also worth noting that this oil helps the engine to reach its potential, increases its efficiency. By significantly reducing friction losses and keeping the engine clean, fuel is saved. This indicator will be different for all cars, depending on individual characteristics, operating conditions and the fuel used.

In the absence of original lubricant for Ford, you can use any high-quality synthetic analogue of the appropriate viscosity grade.

Application area

Of course, Ford Formula F 5W30 engine oil was developed specifically for Ford vehicles. However, it can be used in any other, subject to the appropriate tolerances and specifications.

This grease is applicable in trucks and cars running on gasoline and diesel engines of any design. The age of the car does not matter either - Ford lubricant is suitable for both modern models and cars of previous generations.

Terms of use can be anything. With stable viscosity and reliable performance, this product ensures normal engine operation in all conditions. Even in the most extreme road and weather conditions.

This oil can be used both in the city, in a mode with frequent stops followed by a start, and outside the city, on the highway, at maximum speeds and high power.

How 5W30 stands for

It should be noted that this lubricant is applicable throughout the year in various climatic conditions. This is evidenced by its viscosity class. Here's how you reveal your 5w30 brand.

First of all, the letter W. It comes from the English word Winter, which means “winter” in Russian. This letter marks lubricants that can be used in the cold season.

Secondly, the number before the letter. This is the SAE viscosity index for sub-zero temperatures. If we subtract it from forty, in our case we get 35. That is, it is recommended to use this oil up to minus 35 degrees Celsius.

Thirdly, the number after the letter. Indicates the positive temperature up to which the product will be stable.

It turns out that in our case, the optimal use of the product is from minus 35 to plus 30 degrees Celsius.

Advantages and disadvantages

Motorists like Ford Formula 5W30 engine oil - you won’t find negative reviews in the afternoon with fire. The highest quality of the product is also confirmed by its analyses, tests and laboratory tests.

It has the following advantages:

• ensure fuel economy;
• minimal volatility and waste consumption;
• long replacement interval;
• stable viscosity and excellent fluidity;
• excellent lubricating properties;
• minimum friction;
• wear protection from the first moments of engine operation even during cold start;
• reliability under extreme loads;
• reduction of noise and vibration during engine operation;
• protection of engine parts from wear, corrosion and shock;
• availability and reasonable price.

According to the positive reviews about this lubricant, if it is used correctly and all recommendations are followed, there should be no failures in its operation.

Left is original, right is fake. Pay attention not to the label. On the original, everything is clearly printed, the intake manifold is clearly visible, it is difficult to distinguish on a fake. We also look at the bottom of the boat, there are no inscriptions on the original, a code is applied on the fake paint.

How to distinguish a fake

The question of how to distinguish a fake engine oil sooner or later confronts every motorist. After all, everyone has heard about the number of fakes that exist on the modern market. For this Ford Formula F 5 W 30 has the following distinguishing features:

1. The original Ford logo is bright and crisp with a XNUMXD effect. In the false one, it is lighter, without volume.
2. The sun-shaped image is clearly divided into three halos. In a fake, at best, you can distinguish two, the image is blurry, with pixels.
3. The measuring scale is transparent and even, on the original it reaches the bottom, but does not reach the neck, on the fake, on the contrary, it approaches the throat, but does not reach the bottom.
4. The date of bottling is laser-etched on the back of the bottle, for a fake - on the front side with a regular stamp, easily erased.

You should also pay attention to the quality of the packaging as a whole, study the description and appearance on the official website, learn about the product. If the oil is in barrels and is sold on bottling, you should carefully examine the appearance and smell of the product.
