In the 2013 Ford Escape, the coolant used is pre-diluted Motorcraft orange, and using a different type may cause engine problems. Issues such as a spark plug coming loose or a loose gasket needing tightening can arise, which can lead to engine troubles. Overheating poses a serious risk, potentially resulting in car fires or explosions. Additionally, be prepared for excessive oil consumption, requiring prompt oil changes. For maintenance, replace the air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, the coolant every 60,000 miles, and spark plugs every 100,000 miles unless using copper spark plugs, which should be changed every 30,000 miles.
