The specific Motorcraft filter needed for your 2012 Ford Escape will depend on the engine size of your vehicle. The 2.5L I4 engine requires filter part number FL-910S, while the 3.0L V6 engine needs the oil filter part number FL-500-S. An oil filter plays a crucial role in maintaining the cleanliness of your engine's oil by removing debris, rust, and other contaminants that could potentially harm your engine. It is essential to replace the oil filter each time you have your oil changed.
