Ford Escape Oil & filter change '01-'07 V6 (EASY ! No ramps or jacks used)

[@rmess7800]

Thanks for the video! 👩‍🔧 Going to give this a shot on my little brother’s ‘01 ford escape

[@do_regan]

Love that 2x4 trick. Definitely gonna start doing that!

I suggest marking your current milage and date your installing on the new filter before installing it on. I also suggest breaking the filter loose first before unscrewing it, then placing a length of cardboard between the top of the filter and past the exhaust pipe aiming at the catch pan to collect the used oil so as to not contaminate other parts that get hot when running. If you do get oil on the other parts, just spray some "Break clean" on soiled parts and wait til dry, wear eye protection before doing any work below the vehicle.

Ford escape is popping out oil from the manifold what is the cost

[@roketfingers]

Very clear, thanks 👍

[@garethroberts6594]

How did you get the engine so clean!?!?!

[@MrJpchi]

You mentioned the size of the oil pan bolt.

[@jasonstclair1329]

Nope

Thanks

Great video bro ! Thank you 🙏🏿

[@101bluesguy]

Thank you so much for doing that Video I could not find the dam oil filter. Also I could of swarn it only took 5 qts of oil, I'll check the book.

[@Chris.activity]

Glad that I could help!! I let the oil and filter drain out for quite a while on this one, so that could have been why I needed a bit over 6 quarts. Each engines own dipstick is always most accurate guage though, and on higher mileage vehicles I like to be toward the full line of the dipstick to compensate for potential oil loss.

@@Chris.activity If you crank the engine before you check the oil you're likely to get a slightly lower (and truer) reading as it refills the system inside the block as well as finishes filling the filter.

nice sir thanks

[@samshenanigans]

Which o2 sensor is near the oil filter?

[@Chris.activity]

at 3:28 that is Bank 2 sensor 1.

[@alexfollett2780]

Are there any problems from using two different kinds of oil?

[@Chris.activity]

I would try and keep them the same oil weight at least, for example 5w30 or 5w20. But I mix different brands of the same weight often and have never had an issue.

[@jrock-xs9vp]

Great video thanks

[@khaloq2016]

you missed the important point (what is the oil type & how many liters?)

[@Chris.activity]

the oil filler cap has 5w20 painted on it, but you could use 5w30 if your in a hot climate. and 6 quarts.

[@gosth81]

@@Chris.activity What could happen if i used 20W-50? Mine has 155 XXX miles Edit. Btw great video

[@mspriss1978]

Also didn't mention ratchet size..

[@perjian1697]

You're better off using a wrench instead of a ratchet to remove the drain plug if you're concerned with stripping the head

[@hip_check]

Looks like the previous owner used a pair of channel locks or vice grips.

[@WFO.]

Thx

[@eliamgutierrez4589]

[@shawnthompson3059]

Thank you. Now I know how to do this.

[@northwestprof60]

what a mess. Not your fault, but one would think Ford could figure out a better way to do this common chore....smh
