To find out the recommended oil type for the 2019 Ford Escape, you need to consider the engine size. The 1.5L engine requires 5W-20 oil viscosity, while both the 2.0L and 2.5L engines need 5W-30. Regardless of the engine size, the oil capacity is 5.7 US quarts. I strongly suggest following the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual and getting the oil and filter replaced regularly. Keeping your engine protected means ensuring it has clean and new oil.
The recommended oil for the Ford Escape Hybrid is SAE 5W-30, specifically a premium synthetic blend.
My 2020 Ford Escape hybrid 2.5 L oil filler cap is labeled 0W20, but they recommend using 5W30. The manual states either 5W20 or 0W20, possibly synthetic blend. I decided to use Mobile One 0W20 oil with a Mobile One full synthetic filter. I'm confused about the recommended 5W30 information - where is that coming from?
