What type of oil does a 2017 Ford Transit Connect take?

• Our technicians confirm the exact specification using the vehicle’s engine code (4INAF2.5) and apply OEM-formulated synthetic or conventional oils as required.
• Choosing OEM-grade synthetic at the dealership increases protection, extends drain intervals when appropriate, and contributes to long-term savings on maintenance and repairs.
