The illumination of the check engine light in a 2018 Ford Escape can signal various problems, serving as a general indicator for issues within the engine. Among the potential reasons for this light to come on, the most frequent is a low oil level in the engine, which necessitates an oil change every 7,500 to 10,000 miles for this particular vehicle. Another common cause could be a loose or damaged gas cap, which should be examined for any signs of wear or cracks. If these two issues are not the culprits, the problem could be more severe, and it is advisable to have a professional mechanic inspect the vehicle.
