Ford Focus 2012 Engine Oil Jump to Latest

Hello guys, my car is 2012 Ford Focus 2012 SEL Hatchback 2.0 Gas, it needs SAE 5W-20 oil meeting Ford WSS-M2C945-A specification. I ordered Motorcraft oil meeting that specification, but they sent SAE 5W-20 oil meeting Ford WSS-M2C960-A1 specification.
Does anyone know can I use that oil for my car or will it damage the car? Maybe WSS-M2C960-A1 exceeds WSS-M2C945-A or is some improved/equivalent version of WSS-M2C945-A, and I can easily use it? Or order WSS-M2C945-A specification oil again anyway?

I couldn't get any answer about this question, so your help will be important for me.

Thanks,
Andrey

Just use the 5W20 you have, next time just go to auto zone and buy full synthetic oil for cheaper then ford syth-blend oil.

WSS-M2C960-A1 supercedes the old spec WSS-M2C945-A. Ford updated it specs when the latest API rating was updated to ILSAC GF-6A and API SP which addresses certain issues.You have the latest specification and are good to go.
