Shining the light on… Texaco’s Havoline ProDS F Range


It’s no secret that choosing the correct oil viscosity for a vehicle plays a significant role in optimising maintenance. After all, if an oil is not able to lubricate effectively, it can directly impact engine protection, performance, and fuel efficiency.
Texaco Lubricants develops premium-quality, OEM-approved products that are tailor-made for a diverse range of marques – and Ford is one of them. Notably, the two companies each have over a century of automotive experience, reflecting their long-standing commitment to quality and performance.
As a globally recognised vehicle manufacturer with a wide range of products, Ford places stringent requirements on the oils used in their models. This is where Texaco Lubricants’ recently updated Havoline ProDS F range shines, offering a series of Ford-approved engine oils that meet the automaker’s specifications.
Denoted by the ‘F’ in its product name, the Texaco Havoline ProDS F range is specifically designed to cater to the exacting standards set by Ford's engineers. A trio of viscosities are available, including 0W-20, 5W-20, and 0W-30 – and all offer a long list of benefits to motorists.
Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 0W-20
First up is Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 0W-20, the newest addition to the range. This particular product is a premium performance synthetic engine oil that has been specially designed for Ford 1.5L EcoBlue engines and for vehicles requiring Ford WSS-M2C952-A1.
The oil has been formulated with synthetic base oils, as well as advanced additive technology capable of helping control the impact of fuel/water dilution in hybrid engines. The base oils help to minimise deposit formation, with the additives serving to reduce sludge build-up. In combination, this helps to extend engine life while maintaining fuel economy.
Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 0W-20’s low temperature fluidity aids rapid lubricant circulation during cold engine starts, contributing to increased engine protection. With Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) protection, the oil helps prevent engine super knock caused by LSPI, as well as the resultant severe engine damage.
A versatile product, the oil is suitable for use in gasoline and diesel passenger cars, light duty commercial diesel engines and hybrid vehicles. What’s more, it is compatible with diesel particulate filters (DPF) and three-way catalysts (TWC).
Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 0W-30
Next on the list is Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 0W-30, a premium performance synthetic passenger car engine oil designed for use in Ford TDCi diesel engines and certain petrol engines requiring Ford WSS-M2C950-A.
Designed to help reduce engine friction and to improve fuel economy without compromising on reliability and durability, Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 0W-30 is a strong choice for motorists. What’s more, the product’s synthetic base oils, in combination with advanced cleaning additives, help to minimise deposit formation and wear, and extend engine life.
Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 5W-20
Completing the Texaco Havoline ProDS F lineup is the 5W-20 viscosity variant – Texaco Havoline ProDS F SAE 5W-20. This premium performance synthetic passenger car engine oil has been tailored for use in direct-injected, turbocharged, Ford EcoBoost gasoline engines requiring lubricants meeting Ford WSS-M2C948-B specifications.
Among the oil’s potential benefits are reduced maintenance costs, thanks to extended drain intervals. In addition, the product’s synthetic base oils, in combination with advanced cleaning additives, help minimise deposit formation and wear, contributing to an extended engine life.
The Texaco Havoline ProDS F range brings together products that meet the specific needs of numerous Ford engines. For whichever viscosity you need, these oils offer a solid choice for those who value consistent performance and engine longevity.
