In the 2013 Ford Escape, to access the 1.6 thermostat, you have to remove the thermostat housing via the top and bottom radiator hoses. It's recommended to change the coolant every 60,000 miles. For your air filter, aim to replace it every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. When it comes to spark plugs, they should be changed every 100,000 miles unless they're copper, in which case they should be replaced every 30,000 miles. Various engine issues may arise such as loose gaskets needing tightening, spark plugs coming off causing problems, oil leaks requiring prompt attention, and potential overheating leading to dangerous situations like fires or explosions. Keep an eye out for excessive oil consumption as this may necessitate changing the oil sooner than anticipated.
