The 2013 Ford Escape is facing issues with oil leaks in its 1.6 liter engines, prompting a recall. These leaks can lead to a distinctive burning smell and even potential engine failure if left unaddressed. It is crucial to monitor the oil closely to avoid any mishaps, including the risk of engine fire. Regular maintenance, including using high-quality oil and changing it every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, is essential to prevent engine problems. Failure to maintain proper oil levels and quality can result in issues such as engine knocking and poor gas mileage.
