What kind of oil does a 2024 Ford Bronco 2.7 take?

The 2024 Ford Bronco with the 2.7L EcoBoost engine uses 5W-30 full-synthetic motor oil that meets Ford specification WSS-M2C946-A (or its newer equivalent).


In practice, you should choose a high-quality 5W-30 synthetic oil that explicitly states compliance with WSS-M2C946-A on the bottle. The Bronco’s 2.7L EcoBoost shares oil requirements with Ford’s other turbocharged engines, so using the correct viscosity and Ford-approved specification helps protect the turbocharged setup. The oil capacity for a full change (with filter) is typically around 7 quarts, but always verify with the owner’s manual or a dealer, as exact figures can vary by market or trim.


Oil specifications you need to know


Before listing the requirements, here are the key specs to look for when purchasing oil for the Bronco 2.7.



  • Viscosity: 5W-30

  • Type: Full synthetic motor oil

  • Ford specification: WSS-M2C946-A or newer

  • Oil capacity (with filter): approximately 7 quarts


Concluding: Sticking to a 5W-30 full-synthetic oil that meets WSS-M2C946-A ensures proper lubrication for the Bronco’s turbocharged 2.7L engine.


Brand options and how to verify the spec


Before choosing a brand, use these guidelines to confirm the oil will meet Ford’s requirements.



  • Look for packaging that explicitly states compatibility with Ford WSS-M2C946-A or its newer equivalents.

  • Prefer well-known synthetic oils (e.g., Motorcraft, Mobil 1, Castrol, Shell) that clearly indicate the Ford specification on the label.

  • Avoid bottles that only advertise “5W-30” without reference to the Ford spec or a replacement Ford code.

  • Follow the vehicle’s oil-change interval guidance in the manual or by using the oil-life monitor, and ensure you replace the filter with every oil change.


Concluding: Always verify the exact specification for your vehicle year and market with the owner’s manual or a Ford dealer before purchase.


Summary


For a 2024 Ford Bronco 2.7, use a 5W-30 full-synthetic oil that meets Ford WSS-M2C946-A (or newer). Plan for about 7 quarts of oil with a filter during a full change, and confirm the specification in your manual or with a dealer, as local variants can apply.
