The short answer

Which oil does a Ford Transit Connect take?

The oil your Ford Transit Connect needs depends on its engine and when it was built. Below is what the carmaker lists for each Transit Connect engine — 2 generations and 5 engine types in our table — and the oils we sell that state it: NAPA from our Bulwell shelf, plus Castrol, Mobil and Valvoline delivered next day.

  • Transit Connect Mk2 (2013–now) — petrol: Ford WSS-M2C948-B (5W-20); diesel: Ford WSS-M2C913-D (5W-30), Ford WSS-M2C950-A (0W-30) or Ford WSS-M2C952-A1 (0W-20)
  • Transit Connect Mk1 (2002–2013) — diesel: Ford WSS-M2C913-D (5W-30)

The grade (such as 5W-30) and the approval (such as a carmaker code) both need to match your handbook. If your car has a particulate filter, the low-ash oil the handbook lists protects it.

By generation

Each Transit Connect engine in our table with the approvals the carmaker lists for it (in the handbook or the service schedule), the usual one first, and the grades. Where we mark “check your handbook”, the approval changed during production or we could not confirm it in a carmaker’s own document. Check your exact car in the finder or WhatsApp us your reg.

Transit Connect Mk2 2013–now
Transit Connect Mk1 2002–2013

Where this comes from: carmakers’ handbooks and published oil specification lists, checked in October 2026. Carmakers sometimes change the oil during production, so the handbook or service book for your car has the final word.

What grade of oil does a Ford Transit Connect use?

Most Transit Connect engines in our table list 5W-30; others list 5W-20, 0W-30 or 0W-20. Use the grade your handbook gives together with its approval: the same grade can carry different approvals.

Does my Transit Connect need low-ash (low SAPS) oil?

If it has a particulate filter, yes: use the low-ash approval its handbook lists, such as Ford WSS-M2C913-D or Ford WSS-M2C950-A. A high-ash oil can block the filter over time.
