For the 2009 Ford Escape, the recommended oil is 5W-20 Synthetic for both the 2.5 L 4Cylinder and the 3.0 L V6 engines. The vehicle requires 4.5 quarts with a filter for the 2.5 L 4Cylinder and 6 quarts with a filter for the 3.0 L V6 engine. When tightening the drain plug, use 21 ft/lbs of torque for the 2.5 L 4Cylinder and 19 ft/lbs for the 3.0 L V6. Remember to change the oil and filter every 7,500 miles. You can also perform additional maintenance tasks like rotating the tires and conducting a multi-point inspection during the oil change. The labor cost for an oil change typically ranges from $50 to $60, and the process usually takes between 5 to 15 minutes.
