In 2012 Ford Fusion, you should use 5w-30 oil type with a capacity of 5 quarts. It's crucial to have good quality oil to keep the engine running smoothly. If you have poor quality oil, it can lead to engine problems like a burning smell, which must be checked immediately to prevent the car from possibly blowing up. You might also hear knocking noises coming from the engine and notice a decrease in gas mileage. It's essential to change the oil every 5,000 to 10,000 miles to avoid engine issues if you avoid doing so.

Here's a paraphrased and unique version of the text: "My car is from 2012 and uses SAE-5W-20 oil, so check the oil cap under the hood for details! Don't pay attention to what these clueless people are saying.

My 2012 Ford Fusion's oil cap indicates that it requires 5W-20 oil.
Joseph J Apr 10, 2022

The instruction manual recommends using 5w20 oil, which is also indicated on the engine's oil cap.

The 5w-20 oil will thin out to a 16 weight after approximately half the mileage between oil changes. I prefer not to use a 5w-15 oil in my engine; I will choose 5w-30 instead and let it naturally thin to a 5w-20. Don't be fooled by advertisements promoting the "5w-20 is the best" idea; do your research on reputable sites like the Oil Drop or "Bob is the Oil Guy" to become knowledgeable about oils. Thank me later if you take the time to explore and understand. That's all from me!

Certainly! It does state that on the cap underneath the hood. This information was quite useful. I appreciate it.
