Complete Oil Specifications
Ford’s owner’s manual for the 2023 Maverick with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine recommends Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Blend Motor Oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C961-A1. If Motorcraft oil isn’t available, use an SAE 5W-30 oil that shows the API Certification Mark for gasoline engines. Engine oil capacity is 5.5 qt (5.2 L) including the oil filter.
Oil Filter
Ford lists the Motorcraft FL-910-S engine oil filter. If it isn’t available, use a filter that meets SAE/USCAR-36.
Extreme Cold
Where ambient temperatures reach -22°F (-30°C) or below, Ford recommends SAE 0W-30 synthetic blend oil meeting WSS-M2C963-A1 for better cold starting. Ford also recommends the alternative oil if you regularly use the vehicle above 7,500 ft (2,286 m) and under -4°F (-20°C).
When to Change the Oil
The Maverick’s Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor shows a message at the proper oil change interval. Ford says this interval may be up to one year or 12,500 mi (20,000 km), and not to exceed one year or 12,500 mi between service intervals.
