I want to make an oci on my friends Ford EDGE with 2.0T ecoboost.the factory standard is 948a(5w20).But I want some details about 948a(At first I just wanna use my pennzoil pp0w20,is that all right?).Thanks.
DO NOT use water oils in these turbocharged engines! They shear and can't take the heat. MIN 5W30 and if the climate is hot or the vehicle is worked hard I wouldn't be afraid to step up to a Xw40

Water oils???
But if the engine calls for 5-30 then use a quality synthetic 5-30.

There ARE 'thicker' synthetic 5W-30s out there, but they most likely do NOT meet the 946-A specs.
