For the 2018 Ford Fusion, a fully synthetic motor oil is recommended. The 1.5L engine should use SAE 5W-20 oil and can hold 4.2 quarts, while the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 2.5L 4-cylinder engines require SAE 5W-30 oil with a capacity of 5.7 quarts each. The 2.7L V6 engine should use SAE 5W-30 oil and hold 6 quarts. Opting for synthetic oil is beneficial for performance as it reduces friction and protects the engine. It is safe to switch between synthetic and conventional oils without causing damage. Synthetic blends combine synthetic and conventional oil, with synthetic oil known for keeping engines cleaner by preventing debris buildup that can harm engine function.
The 2018 Ford Fusion offers a variety of trim options, each with specific engine sizes and oil recommendations. For example, the SE model requires 5W-20 oil, while the Energi Platinum 2.0, Energi SE Luxury 2.0, Energi Titanium 2.0, S Hybrid 2.0, SE Hybrid 2.0 (U), Platinum Hybrid 2.0, and Titanium Hybrid 2.0 (U) all require 0W-20 synthetic oil. The S 2.5 (7), S 2.5 (T), SE 2.5 (7), and SE 2.5 (T) models use 5W-20 oil, while the Sport 2.7 (P) trim specifically uses 5W-30 oil.
