Why the Puma Needs 5W-20 to WSS-M2C948-B
The Puma uses Ford’s 1.0 EcoBoost three-cylinder petrol engine (the Puma ST uses a 1.5 EcoBoost). Both are designed around a low-friction 5W-20 meeting Ford WSS-M2C948-B, whose low-SAPS chemistry protects the oil-immersed timing belt. The 0W-20 sometimes quoted is a different grade and is not the Ford specification — always match 5W-20 + WSS-M2C948-B.
Oil Change Intervals
Ford’s interval is typically 12 months or up to ~18,000 miles, but because the EcoBoost wet belt is sensitive to oil condition, many owners change every 9,000–10,000 miles or annually.
Tip: always fit a new filter with the oil and never let an EcoBoost run low.
How to Check Your Oil Level
Step 1: Park on level ground and wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the engine.
Step 2: Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert fully, then remove again to read the level.
Step 3: The oil level should be between the minimum and maximum marks. Top up in small amounts if needed.

How we check fitment for this guide
We cross-reference fitment figures against manufacturer specifications and OE-supplier catalogue data where available, and matched to the standard codes that actually govern fit — battery type/group sizes, wiper lengths and fitting types, bulb fitment codes, tyre size markings, and oil specifications. We work by make, model, year, engine, and build date, because a single model can take different parts across its life. Where the right part depends on your exact vehicle, we tell you to confirm by registration or VIN. More on our method →
