The 2014 Ford Escape EcoBoost comes with a 1.6L 4-cylinder engine that delivers impressive power for its size. To maintain its optimal performance, it's recommended to use 4.3 quarts of SAE 5W-20 synthetic motor oil during regular oil changes, typically every 5,000 miles. If SAE 5W-20 is not available, SAE 5W-30 can be used temporarily as a substitute. However, it's advised to avoid using higher viscosity oil in the long run as it can cause excess friction and lead to premature engine wear. Investing a bit more in high-quality oil is always a wise choice to ensure the longevity of your engine.
The manual states that you should use 5.7 quarts of Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 motor oil or a similar equivalent for the 2.0L Ecoboost engine.
Every turbo engine should be running on a synthetic blend at the very least.
