The short answer

Which oil does a Ford Transit Custom take?

The oil your Ford Transit Custom needs depends on its engine and when it was built. Below is what the carmaker lists for each Transit Custom engine — 2 generations and 6 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 Custom Mk2 (2023–now) — diesel: Ford WSS-M2C913-D (5W-30); hybrid: Ford WSS-M2C954-A1 (0W-20)
  • Transit Custom Mk1 (2012–2023) — diesel: Ford WSS-M2C913-D (5W-30) or Ford WSS-M2C950-A (0W-30); hybrid: Ford WSS-M2C948-B (5W-20)

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.

Each Transit Custom 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.

Questions

Ford Transit Custom engine oil questions

What engine oil does a Ford Transit Custom take?

It depends on the engine and generation. Transit Custom Mk2 (2023–now) — diesel: Ford WSS-M2C913-D (5W-30); hybrid: Ford WSS-M2C954-A1 (0W-20).

What grade of oil does a Ford Transit Custom use?

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

Does my Transit Custom 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.
