The recommended oil for the 2014 Ford Escape is 5w-20, and it requires 4.5 quarts. It is crucial to change the oil periodically, ideally every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to engine problems. Using high-quality oil is vital for the engine's performance. Eventually, issues can arise from poor-quality or old oil, potentially causing the engine to fail. Look out for a burning smell, as this could signal serious trouble and should be addressed promptly to avoid any catastrophic situations. Additionally, deteriorating oil may result in poor gas mileage and unusual knocking sounds coming from the engine.

You claim the oil capacity is 4.5 quarts, but others argue it's between 5.2 and 5.7 quarts. Can you clarify the correct amount?

I own a vehicle with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine, which requires 5.7 quarts of 5w-30 viscosity grade oil according to the owners manual. If you need to identify your engine type, you can check engine diagrams in the manual on pages 209-212. Additionally, there is a capacities chart at the end of the manual that lists this information for all three engine options.

Ford suggests that for the 2014 Ford Escape, it is best to use engine oil that is approved for the specific SAE viscosity rating of 5W-20. The 2014 Ford Escape equipped with a 2.0L engine has an engine oil capacity of 4.5 quarts.

Recently had Jiffy Lube perform an oil change on my 2014 2.0l Ecoboost, where they added the recommended 5.7 quarts. The following day, after the vehicle had been idle in the garage overnight, I checked the oil level and found it to be significantly above the maximum mark on the dipstick. Upon returning to the service center, they removed approximately 0.5 quarts, resulting in the oil level sitting slightly above the MAX indicator. It seems that the 5.7 quarts specified is accurate, but this assumes an engine that is completely dry. In reality, some residual oil may remain if not fully drained prior to refilling.

Mara's mistake is that the volume is actually 5.7 quarts in the 2.0-liter container.

The oil capacity is 5.7 quarts and it requires 5w30. I am employed by both Ford and GM. If you start the engine, the oil level doesn't register at all with only 4.5 quarts.

Just use 5.5 quarts of 5w30 or 10w30 oil during the winter. That's all you need to do.

The oil grade indicated on the oil cap is 5W-30, not 5W-20. You will need a total of 5.4 quarts including the filter.

In 2014, my titanium eco car requires 7 quarts of oil every time I bring it in for maintenance. I always have to purchase a couple of extra quarts because the service technicians never follow my request.

5.7 quarts. That's equivalent to a little over 5 and a half quarts.
