• Maintains optimal lubrication for both combustion and hybrid-assist systems, preserving smooth operation and horsepower delivery.
• Preserves emissions controls and helps the vehicle meet environmental standards over time.

• Follow the vehicle owner’s manual and the oil life monitoring system for the most accurate guidance tailored to driving habits and conditions.
• Typical intervals for modern engines using synthetic oil range from about 7,500 to 10,000 miles under normal driving; severe duty or frequent short trips may require service every 5,000 miles.

What type of oil does a 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid take?

• Ford recommends using the manufacturer-specified oil; for many 2.0L Ford engines this is SAE 5W-20 in a synthetic or synthetic blend formulation—always confirm in the owner’s manual.
• We use Motorcraft or equivalent factory-approved oils and filters to maintain fuel economy, emissions performance, and hybrid system compatibility.
• Using the correct oil preserves the engine’s horsepower and torque characteristics and reduces the risk of premature wear.
• For warranty protection, any oil-related repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership like Coggin Ford Jacksonville.

How much oil does a 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid need?

• Capacity varies slightly by engine configuration and whether the oil filter is changed; approximate capacity is around 4.5 quarts when including the filter.
• We confirm exact capacity during service and fill to factory specifications to avoid over- or under-filling.
• Proper fill and disposal practices are followed to protect your engine and the environment.
• Service performed at our certified dealership ensures accurate fill levels and documentation for warranty purposes.
