The 2016 Ford Escape performs great with both fully synthetic and semi-synthetic oils. It has three different versions available. The 1.6L engine requires 4.3 quarts of oil, while the 2.5L and 2.0L engines need 5.7 quarts each. Ford suggests using A5w-20 fully synthetic oil for optimal performance because it provides better protection for the engine, improves fuel efficiency, and extends the vehicle's lifespan. For the 2016 Escape, it is recommended to change the oil and oil filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

The manual recommends using 5.7 quarts of oil, but I'm unsure about how to accurately measure the remaining 0.7 quarts. Can you provide guidance on this measurement?

Pat is partially correct about the oil recommendations for different engines in a 2016 Ford Escape. For the 1.6L EcoBoost and 2.5L I-4 engines, the recommended oil is a synthetic blend of 5w20 or higher. However, for the 2.0L EcoBoost I-4 engine, the recommended oil is a synthetic blend of 5w30. It should be noted that the 1.6L engine requires 4.3 quarts of oil, while the 2.5L and 2.0L EcoBoost engines both require 5.7 quarts.

I drive a 2016 Escape with the 2.0-liter ecoboost engine. Ford suggests using 5w30 oil, which takes about 5.7 quarts. I stick to full synthetic Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and change it every 5,000 miles.

Additionally, please be aware that Ford specifically suggests using a synthetic blend for this vehicle, either a 1.6 or 2.0. While numerous auto shops may advise using full synthetic instead.

For a 2016 Ford Escape, it's best to use 5W-20 fully synthetic oil. Depending on the engine, the amount of oil needed differs. The 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine requires 4.3 quarts, while the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine each need 5.7 quarts of oil.

According to the owner's manual, the 1.6L ecoboost engine should use Motorcraft synthetic blend 5W-20 oil.

The 2.0 liter engine requires 5W30 oil, while the 1.6 liter engine needs 5W20 oil. After verifying on the Valvoline website, I noticed this distinction between the two types. Upon inspection under the hood, I confirmed that it clearly specifies 1.6 liters and 5W20 oil.

In a 2016 Ford Escape equipped with the 2.0L I4 EcoBoost engine, it is recommended to use 5w-30 weight oil and fill up with 5.7 quarts. I recently completed an oil change on one, confirmed by reading the oil cap. This information is specific to the 2.0L EcoBoost engine.

I'm sorry, but that response is incorrect. It is recommended to use 5W-30 for all ecoboost engines.

Are any of you really a mechanic or not?

I didn't realize there was a 1.6-liter engine available. I'm considering a 2016 Ford Escape with a 1.5-liter engine that recommends using 5w-20 oil.

Hey, I have a question. How many of your cars have leaks and a burnt-up alternator? Any advice for dealing with this issue? It's also using a ton of gas.

Replace 5-20 full synthetic 5.4 quarts with "5-20 high-performance synthetic oil totaling 5.4 quarts.

I concur with everyone who has common sense. The manual recommends using the correct viscosity oil, which can be either a blend of synthetic or full synthetic.

How can I accurately measure 0.7 quarts of oil for my 2016 Ford Escape?

The instruction manual states a capacity of 4.3 imperial quarts, but dealers clarify that it is actually 5.2 US quarts. In other words, 4.3 imperial quarts equate to 5.2 US quarts.
