What is the 2001 Ford Escort ZX2's oil type?

My 2001 Ford Escort ZX2 is still rolling but it needs an oil change soon. I’m finally going to attempt to change it myself—what type of oil does it need?

The
2001 Ford Escort ZX2
oil type is SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil and you can find it at any auto parts store—or retailers like Walmart and Amazon. You’ll need 4.5 quarts of oil to fill up your Escort ZX2 and will need to change it every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.
If you’ve got the time, changing your own oil is often more efficient than taking it to the shop, helping you cut back on
