The oil filter on the Ford Escape is located behind the front bumper, slightly off-center on the passenger side near the oil pan. To access the filter and drain plug, you'll need to use jack stands. Ford suggests changing the oil in this vehicle every 7,500 miles, allowing you to also replace the filter at that time. Getting the fluid and filter replaced in the Ford Escape costs between $110 and $140, with labor making up $40 to $60 of that amount. You can save some money by performing the maintenance yourself. Signs of a faulty filter include engine sputtering, metallic noise, low oil pressure, and smoky exhaust. Ignoring these symptoms can result in engine damage.
