What is the difference what kind of oil to fill?
The following indicators depend on what kind of oil is poured into Ford:
- fuel consumption (3-4%);
- formation of deposits, wear time of the engine and exhaust system;
- car behavior at different outside temperatures.
The oil can be synthetic, semi-synthetic and mineral, have different degrees of temperature viscosity (winter and summer) and are produced specifically for gearboxes, gasoline or diesel units. Not to mention the presence of a large number of manufacturers with their .
Oil Ford Mondeo 4 1.6 125 l/s.
This is the lowest-power engine in the range; it came only with a manual transmission. Cars with this configuration are not often found.
Engine oil for Ford Mondeo 4 1.6 125 l/s.
Duratec 1.6 125 l/s engine - requires the use of 5W-20 oils of the Ford WSS-M2C948-B specification, or an alternative 5W-30 oil of the Ford WSS-M2C913-C specification.
A change will require 4.1 liters of oil.
Manual transmission oil Ford Mondeo 4 1.6 125 l/s.
Oil in manual transmission IB5 - the manufacturer claims that the oil is filled for the entire service life of the vehicle. If you believe it, don't change it.
Considering the heavy weight of the car, we recommend changing the oil every 60,000 km. The gearbox is generally known from Focuses, the oil requires 75W-90 GL-4 with the Ford WSD-M2C200-C specification or more modern oils 75W-90 Ford WSS-M2C200-D2 specification.
What to pour into Mondeo 2014
According to the technical documentation, oil for Ford should only have a synthetic composition. The manufacturer itself recommends using products from Total, Castrol, Shell, Mobil and Xado. Motorists should be guided by the following markings:
- for regions with a temperate climate, 10w-40 or 15w-40 is suitable;
- for areas with severe winter temperatures - 0w-40 or 0w-50;
- during the warm period, you can switch to 20w-40 or 25w-40.
Note! These markings are based on European SAE standards. Oils from American manufacturers are rated according to the API system (SN - gasoline engine, CJ - diesel).
For the gearbox, it is also better to choose according to the degree of viscosity and temperature operating conditions according to European standards. For the 2014 Mondeo, which is available with automatic and manual transmissions, it is better to choose oil marked 75w-90.
The main nuances of tuning Ford Mondeo 5
Which MM is suitable for Ford Mondeo?
We don’t want to say anything towards your dealer, but practice shows that employees of such companies often take money for something they don’t do. We do not doubt the veracity of your words, but nevertheless, we recommend flushing the engine yourself.
This is done easily:
- After draining the used engine fluid, the drain plug is screwed in, and a certain volume of flushing agent is poured into the engine through the filler neck (see instructions on the label).
- The car starts, it is advisable to carry out a test drive so that the flushing is guaranteed to reach all components and assemblies of the internal combustion engine.
- After this, the “flush” is drained and new oil is added.
What awaits car owners who don’t change their oil
? I’ll explain why this is necessary. In practice, we have encountered dishonesty of dealers many times, so these recommendations should not be ignored. Only when you are 100% sure that your motor is clean, you can fill in a new MM. As for the consumables themselves, we cannot say anything for sure about Liqui Moli 5W40 Optimal. But we confidently declare that if you decide to choose the Liqui line, we recommend that you use Special Tec SAE 5W-30. This lubricant has been approved for use in Ford engines. Moreover, in practice such MM practically does not go into the engine.
In addition, another high-quality foreign analogue was developed specifically for the Ford Mondeo vehicle - Motul 8100 Eco-nergy from a French manufacturer. Consider using this consumable, is it not for nothing that it was created specifically for a car like yours? One more point - the consumption of MM by a motor is not always a consequence of poor-quality fluid. As far as we know, both Castrol and Elf are pretty high quality oils. You may have certain problems with your internal combustion engine - we recommend that you undergo diagnostics.
Separately about Total oils
Total motor oils are used by the manufacturer itself and are recommended for further maintenance. Depending on the year of manufacture (in this case 2014) and the installed motor, you should pay attention to:
- for a diesel unit – Quartz 9000 Future EcoB series;
- for a gasoline engine - the same as for a diesel engine;
- for manual transmission – Transmission Dual 9 Fesyn series;
- for the machine – Fluide XLD FE series.
According to representatives of the brand, with their oil the cams last 30% longer, fuel consumption is reduced by 3.55%, and the proprietary catalytic converter does a good job of cleaning the exhaust system.

Power steering brake fluid Ford Mondeo 4
Brake fluid for Ford Mondeo 4 must comply with class DOT 4 LV , or Ford specification WSS-M6C65-A2, or international classification ISO 4925 Class 6. Brake fluid usually needs to be replaced every three years, because it is hygroscopic, and over time it becomes saturated with moisture. Braking efficiency decreases, and corrosion of the internal parts of the brake system also occurs. You can check the brake fluid for the presence of moisture in % ratio with a special device; it is available in many service centers or stores.
When to change the oil?
The frequency of changing engine oil in a Ford Mondeo 4 is every 20,000 km (15,000 for a diesel engine), or 1 year, whichever occurs first. Such terms are provided for by the lubricant replacement regulations established by the manufacturer. But, in addition to the regulations, the frequency of lubricant replacement is influenced by external factors and vehicle operating conditions.
Factors influencing replacement frequency:
- difficult climatic conditions;
- frequent driving on rural roads;
- Driving around the city with frequent idling.
Experienced drivers regularly check the condition of the lubricant and, if necessary, change it without waiting for the deadlines established by the regulations. Checking the lubricant helps determine its condition and suitability for further use.

Automatic transmission oil Ford Mondeo 4 2.0T 200 l/s.
The car was equipped with a robotic automatic transmission Powershift 6DCT450, also known as Ford MPS6. Ford specifies the use of oil approved by Ford WSS-M2C936-A. It is recommended to change every 45,000 mileage. The oil volume for replacement is 6.3 liters.
Selecting power steering fluid
One of the most difficult questions among owners is which composition to buy. All products are divided into a couple of large categories: mineral and synthetic compounds. The latter are more preferable, but have a high price tag. If you are going to mix power steering fluids, make sure they have the same base and identical additives. Otherwise, the two compositions may enter into a chemical reaction, and the result will be completely unpredictable. For example, mixing mineral oil with synthetic oil is strictly prohibited. When changing the type of power steering fluid (from mineral water to synthetic or vice versa), the system must be flushed. You can read about the compatibility of various synthetic or mineral compounds with each other on the forms of car owners who already have experience in mixing.
To ensure that you avoid problems, we recommend purchasing power steering system flushing fluid (for example, W62411 WYNNS) and original products from FORD. The product has a catalog number and designation “1781003 FORD Power Steering Fluid”. It is these products that are used on Ford Mondeo. Also pay attention to FORD ESP-M2C-166-H (mineral) products or compatible synthetic oil FORD 1 565 889. As an alternative, many drivers fill in MOBIL 220 or Motul DEXRON 3.
When purchasing products, be sure to pay attention to the packaging. The lid should have no visible signs of opening. Study the label, the inscriptions should be without streaks. The production date of the composition must be indicated, which is imprinted on the case. Many drivers at the same time advise replacing the tank, in which various deposits appear. It has the catalog designation “1789056 FORD Tank”.
