The amount and type of oil needed for your 2018 Ford Escape will vary depending on the engine model. The 1.5L 4Cylinder base engine requires 4.3 US quarts of 5W-30 synthetic oil. The 2.0L 4Cylinder engine needs 5.7 US quarts of the same 5W-30 synthetic oil. The largest engine option, the 2.5L 4Cylinder, also requires 5.7 US quarts but must use 5W-20 synthetic oil instead. The oil drain plug sizes are 15mm for the larger engines and 13mm for the standard engine.
Actually, that statement isn't entirely accurate. In 2018, the 1.5 liter engine requires 4.3 quarts of 5w-20 oil with a filter change.
The dealership informed me that the 1.5L Ecoboost engine requires 5w 30 oil due to the charger. I have been using this oil ever since, and it has resulted in improved gas mileage and power performance.
For the 2018 Ford Escape, you should use full synthetic oil like SAE 5W-30 or 5W-20. The 1.5L 4-cylinder engine needs 5W-30 and takes 4.3 quarts. The 2.0L 4-cylinder engine requires 5W-30 and has a capacity of 5.7 quarts. Similarly, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine holds 5.7 quarts but prefers 5W-20 oil.
