The recommended oil change interval for the Ford Escape is every 10,000 miles, but it's important to eventually replace the oil. A good guideline to follow is between 5,000 and 10,000 miles. Failing to change the oil can lead to engine issues, so using high-quality oil is crucial for optimal engine performance. Problems related to the oil may arise over time, potentially causing the engine to fail. One common issue is a strong burning smell, which should be addressed promptly to prevent any accidents, like the car catching fire. Poor gas mileage and unusual knocking noises from the engine could also indicate problems that need attention.
Older Ford Escape models made before 2007 need an oil change every 5,000 miles, while newer models from 2008 or later can go up to 7,500 miles before needing an oil change.
