The Ford Escape requires Mercon ATF Power Steering Fluid. Although power steering fluid is not typically thought of as a high-maintenance component, it plays a crucial role in maintaining your vehicle's steering system. The cost of a power steering flush ranges from $100 to $130. Opinion varies on the frequency at which power steering fluid should be changed, but the general agreement is that it should be done every two years or around every 75,000 to 100,000 miles. If the fluid level in your system is low, air may enter the steering mechanism, causing squealing sounds when you turn your steering wheel, indicating that it's time to replace your power steering fluid.
The power steering fluid for a Ford Escape is Mercon ATF.
The guide recommends using Mercon ATF for Ford Escapes, but it is no longer in stock. Look for a reputable brand of ATF that meets the Mercon V standards as an alternative.
