What is the 2017 Ford Escape oil type?
I’ve never changed my oil before, and I don’t plan to. My mom’s gonna do it for me, but she’s making me buy the oil. I had no idea there were different types. What do I need for a 2017 Ford Escape?

We don’t blame you—changing your own oil is a pretty involved task, and it’s often worth the money to just have someone else do it.
The
2017 Ford Escape
uses 5W-20 motor oil. You can choose between conventional or synthetic oil, but Ford recommends using synthetic motor oil—it’s healthier for your engine, and you’ll only need to change it every 7,500 to 10,000 miles (versus every 3,000 to 5,000 miles with conventional oil).If you’re wondering where you can find this information in the future if (or when) you forget, just check the cap of your oil tank in your engine. It should be marked with the type of oil your car needs!

car insurance
