In 2008, the type of oil recommended for the Ford Escape is 5w-20. Using high-quality oil is crucial for maintaining a smooth-running engine. Problems with the oil can arise, such as engine knocking noises and potential engine failure. Another common issue is the presence of a strong burning odor, which should be promptly inspected to prevent any potential hazards like an explosion. Poor oil quality can also lead to decreased gas mileage. It's important to eventually replace the oil, following the guideline of every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Neglecting to do so can result in engine malfunctions.
