Ford Formula E is the recommended oil for both.

Have you asked your local Ford parts department what they would sell you a carton of 4 gallon containers of Formula E for? You might be plesently surprised
|
I think you'll find Comma x-tech meets your requirements:
Service Classification: ACEA A1 B1 API SL CF
Meets requirements of: FORD WSS M2C913-B
www.commaoil.com/
I've used it for several years. I've no connection, except between my credit card and motor factors.

Ford 55 plate tourneo tdci book says...
"use SAE 5W-30"
OR....WSS-M2C913-B
the Mondeo book says...
"use SAE 5W-30"
ACEA A1/B1 or ACEA A3/B3 (use of these may result in longer cranking periods)
dum dee dum dee dum.....

The A1 is a fuel economy oil, the A3 Synthetic oil above is ok to use (A3=better protection IIRC), if it's 5w/30 (or even 5w/40), but theoretically is less fuel economical.
