Engines may consume oil while in operation due to various reasons. To address this, owners often add more oil to the reservoir as a temporary solution. Instead of just topping off when the oil level is low, it may be beneficial to change the oil more frequently at shorter intervals. If you have a 2012 Ford Escape experiencing oil loss, it requires 5W-20 oil with a capacity of 5.3 quarts when using a new filter. Regular maintenance, such as more frequent oil changes, can help prolong the life of the engine, especially for a vehicle from 2012 that likely has over 50,000 miles. It's recommended to switch to synthetic oil and aim for oil changes every 7,000 to 8,000 miles, or even more often if using conventional oil.
