A product meeting this specification is especially recommended for diesel engines where M2C913-B or M2C913-C oils were initially required. An oil meeting this specification must be used in Ford Transit vehicles manufactured from 2012 onward with Duratorq 2.2 engine. Oils meeting this specification can be used with extended oil change intervals and are also suitable to be used in engines running on biodiesel or high sulfur diesel.Ford WSS-M2C950-ASpecial engine oil for Ford Focus Diesel 2.0 manufatured from September 2014 and Ford Mondeo Diesel 2.0 manufactured from 2015. Viscosity should be SAE 0W-30.Essentially 913D is a slightly thicker grade (5W30) giving a HTHS viscosity between 2.9 and 3.5 mPa.s, where as the 950A will be 0W30 and have a small improvement in fuel economy over 913-D and have a lower HTHS level which i can't currently find.
Thanks for the info mate.

I've been researching some oils for my Kuga TDCi service and looked at Nulon. They recommend this one https://www.nulon.com.au/products/fu...ent-engine-oil which comply's with the 913-D spec. However, it's very confusing as the bottle states not suitable for DPF. When asked, the technical department said, yes, to use this oil.
I also see on their website, they also suggest this https://www.nulon.com.au/products/di...sel-engine-oil which is the 950-A spec. A specifically designed oil for the diesel, and better value as it comes in a 6L.

Which one would you choose?
