This is awesome! My dad won’t show me because he says girls should never have to change their own oil on their car but I really want to learn! Going to try this 😁
Very helpful...I'm 50 years old and just did my first oil change lol , with your help ! I see now that I can buy an Escape shroud where it has removable areas for the oil plug, oil filter and trans plug....alleviates the need to remove the entire shroud for oil change....pretty cool
Im a 39 yr old women and i like learning how to do things in my car not to be depending on no one Unless its something complicated 🙄 But i like that you was very specific with everything Thank you
Excellent work. Thank you very much for the information. Today I am going to make an oil change to a ford escape truck at a friend's house, and with your magnificent video I am 100% prepared. It will really be very useful to me and I am very grateful to you.
I appreciate that you went thought every detail even little things like how to pop the hood. Although I did know how to do that sometimes how to videos skip little steps that I do not know and this gets frustrating!
Very good presentation. I will be doing this on a 2014 Escape. I set my oil drain container on a platform, closer to the drain plug, for my '93 K-2500 p/u in order to avoid that big initial arc of oil that caused you to move the cardboard. I just set newspaper under my drain bucket to catch random drops. Trucks with ground clearance are best for doing oil changes and other maintenance, which makes for an easy slide under without jacks and ramps. I lay on heavy cardboard found at the main Boulder County recyke drop off station.
@@jakeguitar01 ~ You bet I did and the oil change went well. Not fond of oil spilling on components but after the new filter was on and the oil in and no leaks, I sprayed around under there with Carb cleaner. Clean as it was when I started the job.
Dude, your closing comments "It looks like it's overfilled, I don't even know". THATS THE REASON I'M HERE! lol. Changing the oil on a 2.5L 2013 Ford Fusion - Same engine. It turns out the oil dipstick on this engine is read in reverse - It is normal for there to be oil all up the dipstick, the "fill" and "full" holes are reversed. The very tip of the dipstick, to the first hole from the tip, is supposed to be dry.
Make sure the engine is warm, not hot, before you start. This allows the oil to flow and drain easier and more completely. Open the oil filler cap on the engine before removing the drain plug on the oil pan. Also, clean the shoulder where the oil filter seals to the block and spread oil around the oil filter gasket (rubber ring) before screwing it on.
..a larger oil drop pan/a 20" by 13" tough black plastic drain combo always works for me!..the cardboard containment box was a great idea/vs. and kitty litter! yeah. recycle that oil! some shops use it for their heat! >it "ain't" a two man job! >when Was an oil change! attach a sticker on the inside of the driver's side door..we didn't see any fittings to lube? the hex bolts were all there?
I'm 17 years old and work at an oil change shop. *Always* use a high torque impact wrench on the plug and filter, turn it to max and bottom that baby out! It insures a good seal incase cross thread.
Good video. I think FORD could have used hex head bolts instead of TORX ...GEEz... Good idea getting help from your son... Way to teach your son about cars. BTW , I love FRAM grippy filters. If you think oil is hard to get in , show the coolant cap. This is a hard car to work on ....
If you think the torx head screws and the coolant cap is ridiculous, try changing your battery in your Escape. You practically have to remove the engine to do it. I'd fire the designers and engineers who come up with this nonsense. The only thing I can think of is that they do it on purpose so the average person cant do it without the proper tools. That way, people are forced to use mechanics, and preferably THEIR mechanics at the Ford service department.
Yes that big plastic cover over the back of the motor is just so annoying to work in. Plugs, coolant, oil, batt, everything is under it. For the coolant and oil I have an extra piece of 1/2inch garden hose with a funel just for this.
Gracias por el video . Mi opinion es que podrias hacerlo con mas limpieza. No limpias la base del filtro le pones aceite usado a la liga del filtro nuevo . No sopleteas en el tapon de la tapa de punterias para que salga casi todo el aceite sucio .
@@jakeguitar01 Good idea to use OEM parts but if you want a non expensive alternative and very good quality filter I recommend to give Bosch Premium oil filter a try, it might be a little better than Motorcraft but cheaper and it's not as expensive as other brands. KEEP THE GOOD WORK.
FYI, for the 2.5L engine in my 2014 Escape, the oil specified is 5W-30, not 5W-20 in the video. I've looked at a number of these instructional videos and posts, and nearly all of them spec 5W-20. But 5W-30 is right on my engine's oil cap. I use Mobil 1 and an extended interval M1-102A filter, so I only need to change the oil once a year. Some of the T30 Torx screws holding the under tray in place were missing. You can get them from your local O'Reilly's or Autozone store or you can get a set of 10 from Amazon for about $10.
Are you perhaps outside the US, because the American manual says to use 5w20 oil meeting Ford Spec WSS-M2C945-A for the 1.6L EcoBoost and the 2.5L N/A engine. If you're in the US at some point someone put the wrong oil cap on it.
I got the 5w20 cap on my 2.5L 2014. For some reason the first services at the agency they said and put 5w30 in it, it even mentions this in the owners manual. After 30k km and the 2 year warranty expired I started doing the oil change by myself with 5w20 as the cap says and the runs smoother with a higher mpg average than before. Now with 110k km ill stick to 5w20 for the rest of his life.
There's not really a whole lot of difference between 5w30 and 5w20, most 5w30 unless you buy the stuff for european cars is API resource conserving or ILSAC and runs pretty thin for grade, it's not drastically thicker than 20 grade maybe 15%
I noticed at the end that you said it looked over filled..... i noticed the same thing doing mine. The 2.5 L says it has a 5.7 quart capacity. Have you been using only 5 quarts every other time you changed the oil or do you end up adding more
Depends on your climate where you live and drive. Here in Arizona they recommend 5w-30 Synthetic Blend, or Full Synthetic. Try to find a manufacturer sticker on your car somewhere that should have the recommended motor oil weight. The oil sticker should be under the hood, near where the replacement oil goes in. If in doubt, try calling an oil change business in your area. Ask them their recommendation. Most businesses like that will be helpful even if you decide not to use their services. Hope this helps. ALSO, .......IF you still have the owners manual/service manual that originally came with the car, there should be maintenance schedules in the back that most times will give you the recommended oil weight specifications for your car.
No mention of the drain plug gasket. In fact, I didn't see one on the bolt at all. I am prep'ing for a change of 2014 2.5L, and the FoMoCo replacement plug is 12-1.75 and has a rubber gasket with a raised lip around the perimeter (auto parts store didn't have just the gasket). Really not very confident about this...
Nice job, but please stay away from fram filters, believe me. I used these filters for so long in a newer Nissan maxima, by the time the car hitter 105k miles,, it was already feeling like an old car, and I never abused the car, never used bad oil, always did maintenance on time.
Great clip of "how to", but I tend to say no to Fram filters. I've cut many apart and they are garbage! Stay with a higher quality filter. Just because it's priced right has zero to do with quality. I'm a Wix Filter user. Better quality inside, what you can't see, and I can live without the grip.
+Bill R ---> thank you. I worry about a filter that claims they "last longer". What does that mean? Does that mean they don't filter out everything on the first pass? I'm not saying that Wix makes that claim. But, I am going to do my oil changes on time, and if I cut open the filter, I want it to be filthy at 3000 miles. That tells me it's keeping the oil clean....
+177bandit Hi. Yeah, maybe so. Sometimes I buy what's on sale or what's available. For example, home Depot now sells oil and filters for cars, but the synthetic oil they sell is penzoil not Mobil 1. And they only sell Fram filters there. I did my Toyota the other day and saved at least 15 bucks over going to pep boys or auto zone. So, the Fram filter was probably on sale that day, that's all.
What is on sale means zero. I've been in parts industry for over 30 years. Every time someone who wants to buy cheap brakes I try to change there mind. You have your family in that car ! Same with filters. Wix, Napa, and others are much better quality filters. Anyone could buy a $3.00 filter, but you get what you pay for. I've seen a Fram filter collapse and suck in because they are trash.
It's funny how the under carriage shields are too flimsy to provide any real protection and they don't help with aero either because they only cover the engine not the whole car. Ford wont admit it but the shields real purpose is to catch engine oil leaks before they land on your driveway. I guess they gave up on building an engine that doesn't leak. LOL
Your Supposed to fill the oil can filter with oil prior to putting it in your starving the motor when you first started out of oil friction is not your friend if you’re going to give good information at least give it all
This is awesome! My dad won’t show me because he says girls should never have to change their own oil on their car but I really want to learn! Going to try this 😁
Good for you girl !! 😊 is fun
That’s not right at all. Everyone needs to know just in case. How to change oil and tires. As well as brakes!
All should know how,,, I have taught many.young ladies,,,,You'll be proud.... Woman can do anything they want to learn... Creating independence...

Doing my first at 45. The prices have gotten insane.

Nice job guys. I only use transmission fluid or conventional oil on filter gasket. Synthetic can and will cause a leak.
I have the same model car and engine. They say 5.7 quart refill...so do i need an extra quart to buy on top of the 5 quart jug? Thanks
I'm 17 years old and work at an oil change shop. *Always* use a high torque impact wrench on the plug and filter, turn it to max and bottom that baby out! It insures a good seal incase cross thread.
Hahahahaha! Yeah. Ok.
Hahahaha.
That's messed up dude...
And don't even bother checking alignment on the threads. Ugga dugga that baby right on! Lol
on point
Awesome!!! thanks for the video 🍻
For the old oil, couldn't you siphon the old oil into the container to dispose of it instead of picking it up and pouring it?
I’ve always been tol to use new oil to lube gasket of filter.
Is the 1 gallon enough?
My care takes 1 gallon +1 liter

Removing the shield was more of a PIA than the oil change!
That shield is a defect too. It has lil plastic parts inside and break easily from being taken off all the time
how much liter is the Volvoline synthetic oil? I have 2013 Escape SEL
5.4L
Thanks for the video man I appreciate that!
No problem!

Great job use clean oil to put around the seal of the oil filter
No washer or O ring on the plug??
Mine holds 5.7 qt.. how you get all that oil in a 5 qt container
Nice video, good oil not so good oil filter but very helpful information.
Thanks for watching, I only use genuine Ford Motorcraft filters now.

how do i change the oil of the transmisión un one of these Cars i just cant find how
I'm not sure yet because there is no transmission oil dipstick and no filler hole.
Luis Servin its a sealed transmission u cant find a dipstick or something in the engine.
Ask an expert he might help u
Why the 5 20?? My says 5 30?? Should I use the 5 20?
Puede ser en Español
I was wondering what size screws holds the under engine splash shield ? ( Ford Escape 2013) Can anyone help me and Thank you !!
You can buy the torque screws and nuts on ebay. If you over tighten the screws you will strip the plastic and sheet metal nuts
What about the interval light.....
I noticed at the end that you said it looked over filled..... i noticed the same thing doing mine. The 2.5 L says it has a 5.7 quart capacity. Have you been using only 5 quarts every other time you changed the oil or do you end up adding more
I have a 2012 Ford escape with a 2.5 and I always do 5 qts of oil .The first oil change I did was 5 and 1/2 qts and I was over filled
Mine says the same.. I use 6 quarts.. No problems at all ..
I just did mine with 5.4L got the oil level righ at the top dips mark.
I took the shroud off and trashed it, more of a pain in the ass, but oil change was easy

Shouldn't you be using a XG3614 instead of a PH 3614. According to Fram the PH filter is for conventional oil.

not necessary.. engine will fill the filter immediately when you start it.
