Ford have issued a strong recommendation to use 913C spec oil wherever 913B was originally specified. 913C has A5/B5 rating which has improved wear and sludge properties over the 913B's A1/B1 spec. Home of LLAMS, for LRs and Jeep GCs

Whilst I haven't re-found the reference after a quick google, Magnatec Professional 5W30 A1 meets 913-C spec anyway. Home of LLAMS, for LRs and Jeep GCs
