In the 2018 Ford Fusion, the recommended oil type and capacity is 5W-20 and 4.2 quarts. Using high-quality oil is crucial for keeping the engine running smoothly. If you neglect the oil, problems will crop up eventually. Low-quality oil can lead to engine failures, like a burning odor or unusual knocking sounds. It's important to deal with these issues promptly to prevent any serious damage, like your car catching fire. To avoid problems, make sure to change your oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Failing to do so could result in engine complications down the line.
The information provided earlier is NOT ACCURATE regarding the 2.0 I4 engine. As per the owner's manual, you should use 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters) of 0W-20 Synthetic Blend oil. It is also acceptable to use Full Synthetic oil. However, it is crucial to be cautious and avoid OVERFILLING as excess oil can lead to serious engine problems.
The recommended oil for the 2018 Ford Fusion car varies depending on the engine size. The smaller 1.5L 4-cylinder engine is best suited for SAE 5W-20 full synthetic oil with a capacity of 4.2 quarts. On the other hand, both the 2.0L 4-cylinder and the 2.5L 4-cylinder engines are suitable for SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil and can hold up to 5.7 quarts. Lastly, the larger 2.7L V6 engine requires SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil and has a capacity of 6 quarts.
thanks.
Based on the information in my 2015 manual, the 1.5L engine requires either 4.3 quarts or 4.1 liters of oil. Lynn's understanding seems to be mistaken in this regard. Be sure to refer to the specific year of the manual to avoid any potential confusion.
0W-20 is a fully synthetic oil that is artificially produced and is not available as a blend of synthetic and conventional oils.
