  • Keep invoices and service records for warranty support

What's the difference between conventional, synthetic blend, and full synthetic for a 2016 Ford Focus RS?

Full synthetic oil offers the best protection for turbocharged engines like the 2016 Ford Focus RS; blends and conventional oils offer progressively less thermal and shear stability.

Use the Ford-recommended oil type to preserve engine performance and longevity; service advisors at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper will recommend the correct Ford-approved oil.

  • Full synthetic: best high-temp and turbo protection
  • Synthetic blend: compromise between cost and performance
  • Conventional: less heat resistance; not ideal for performance use
