2017 Ford Escape Oil Change

[@johnslawncaretips4103]

Take off the filter, pull the dipstick open the oil fill cap first this where air flows and the oil will flow out more freely

[@WendzDarKnight08]

Wow they really designed the oil filter shrouded in hoses and lines.

[@terryclarence1209]

Thanks for the video any idea how to reset the oil change needed message on the dash?

[@hayseedautos]

Mine does not have that light, but you should be able to reset it by turning your key to the run position without starting it, they push both the brake and gas pedal at the same time until the dash says reset complete

Hi, Doesn't your user manual recommend 5w 30 oil? I am a bit confused as the dealer recommrnds 5w 20 but my manual reads 5w 30. What do you think? Thanks.

[@randycollens2681]

Your oil cap says what to use

[@tjintol]

Did you put any oil on the new filter seal?

[@hayseedautos]

Yes

[@masonlovesroblox]

The oil dip stick on these cars is so difficult to read.

[@hayseedautos]

Yes this style of dipstick sucks

I recently changed my oil on the same model car you have and the manual said 4.1litres oil needed. I put exactly that and had to remove about .4 litres. Did that ever happen to you?

[@hayseedautos]

No that hasn’t happened to me. U want to make sure to let the vehicle run for a little bit after you put oil in it and have it parked on level ground to get an accurate reading. And if the oil level is a tad bit high I wouldn’t worry about it

[@vincentrondeau3075]

Alright then thank you very much!

[@AidanSkoyles]

How did you remove oil? In my experience if you over fill a little, just don't worry about it bc it will leak out / spill over / burn off and it isn't an issue.

[@stevenlassiter1532]

I like hoe you put oil in the Filter too. You can't put as much oil in your as I can I my 2017 Focus as I can.fill mine totally up but it does make a difference when.you Start it up.

[@laweety]

Are u able to remove the filter from the top?

[@AidanSkoyles]

No. Gotta get under it

[@laweety]

@@AidanSkoyles thanks

[@cm1133]

The oil drain plug torque spec is 22.5 pound feet

[@AidanSkoyles]

Getting the filter off is very very difficult the first time

[@AidanSkoyles]

And if anyone is intimidated by the jack operation, some screwed together 2x8s works just fine.

[@evangels2]

anyone know how to replace the plastic nuts that hold the splash shield
