Look for this certification
trademark.

Use SAE 5W-20 engine oil

Only use oils "Certified For Gasoline Engines" by the American
Petroleum Institute (API). An oil with this trademark symbol conforms
to the current engine and emission system protection standards and fuel
economy requirements of the International Lubricant Standardization and
Approval Committee (ILSAC), comprised of U.S. and Japanese
automobile manufacturers.
To protect your engine's warranty use Motorcraft SAE 5W-20 or an
equivalent SAE 5W-20 oil meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C930-A.
SAE 5W-20 oil provides optimum fuel economy and durability
performance meeting all requirements for your vehicle's engine.
Do not use supplemental engine oil additives, cleaners or other engine
treatments. They are unnecessary and could lead to engine damage that
is not covered by Ford warranty.
Change your engine oil and filter according to the appropriate schedule
listed in scheduled maintenance information.
When changing the oil filter on the 2.3L engine you must also replace
the filter cap O-ring. The oil filter drain plug O-ring must also be
replaced whenever the oil filter drain plug is removed. Reuse of the
O-rings may cause engine oil leakage and may result in severe engine
damage. The customer warranty may be void for any damage to the
engine if the O-rings are not replaced.
