How To Change Spark Plugs for 2013-2016 Ford Escape: HOW TO ESCAPE

In this video, we're focusing on changing spark plugs for a 1.6L EcoBoost Ford Escape.
We will change 4 spark plugs with the Motorcraft recommended plugs.
You will see the noted materials and tools needed. Thread grease for the plugs is OPTIONAL as stated by my dealer.
NOTE: When using a deep socket to remove a spark plug, make sure you have the thinnest walled socket possible. If it's too thick, it will bind in your spark plug well and feel awful like you're cross threading... I know because I did it.
Please let me know if you have any questions and or suggestions.

Just found your channel, I've watched every single one you have. I have a 2013 FE SEL myself and these have been a great help! Looking forward to more videos, keep it up!

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Hah- that's awesome! Thank you very much for the support and encouragement! Please let me know if there is something specific you'd like to know about and I'll see what I can do!

I just purchased a 2015 Ford Escape Titanium and found your channel looking to reset my keyless entry code. Thanks for all the information! A few more ideas I haven't seen you do yet. I'd like to see: Sunroof Maintenance and/or Repair Other ideas: Replacing/Upgrading Interior Lighting Engine Bay Maintenance

I have a 1.6l ecoboost as well and looking to do this myself. Thanks for the videos as they have definitely been helpful. With the 16mm socket do you recall the brand you ended up getting I have a walmart deep well set but have not tried it yet as I still need to get extensions too. Thanks!

Brand new ignition coils come with dielectric grease gobbed in hole. It doesnt affect anything, but seals boot/ sparkplug connection from any condensation.

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Thanks, @Joseph! I could see that being a benefit when you're ordering new coils. Just thought I'd show that you can add the dielectric grease to the existing coils if people were looking to use what they already had. Thanks for the comment and for checking out the channel! Let us know if there's something you want to see in a video

Hi, there. Are you able to do a short video how to replace the panel instrument/bezel, that's the trim just around the radio keys. I bought it and not able to install it yet. Thanks

[@nicholascarioti6623]

Hi there would you know how many leaders does a 2015 Ford escape 1.6 EcoBoost transmission take for drain and fill because I am going to change the fluid thx

[@NickTheOkie]

Where is the link to remove the cowell? I have a 2019 2.0 eco... any videos for this?

[@13chak13]

I have 2014 escape battery keeps being drain , I jumped started it and drove it for a while perfectly fine. Went home turn it off . When I locked it I heard the beep noice really low so I unlocked again and try to start it back on and will hear nothing but clicks like if it was drained again ? So I waited couple sec tried starting it again and it hesitated but it started ¿ what could it be ??? I had someone test the batter and alternator but every reading was good apparently

[@skeletonshorror5184]

Don’t forget to realign your wipers afterwards! 💀🔥💰

[@sanchezeeeeful]

What is the guage calibration for these i placed these and my car is shaking now and my check engine light is on and it wasn't before. Please help

[@michaelrose5918]

Is it really a good idea to blow out the plug cylinder a second time while the spark plug socket is open to the cylinder below?

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Good question- its really up to you and the environment you're in. If there's junk built up under your engine cover or if its windy around you... just use your judgment. Obviously you don't want to INTRODUCE more debris, but if you know you have clean air and that your working area is clean i thought it to be prudent to do a quick blast for checking.

[@skeletonshorror5184]

I was wondering the same - why not use a shop vac to suck anything out? Great video, thank you! 💀🔥💰

[@nicholascarioti6623]

Hi there at how many kilometres do you recommend changing the spark plugs I have a 2015 Ford Escape 1.6 ecoboost and it has 54,000 kms on it

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Standard is 100k mi, but 161k km- that's the ford recommended service!

[@nicholascarioti6623]

How To Escape: DIY, Tips, and Reviews ok thx!!

[@maryomahalyasery1322]

Hi hope you can help me am from Australia and am not sure where to get the tolls from.

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Hi there- by tolls do you mean spark plugs?

[@alvarozx1000]

Donde puedo pedir esa bujías cual es la referencia

[@AndrewW296]

Is it safe to use canned compressed air instead?

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Yes just make sure the can is tipped upwards! If it is upside down there may be condensed fluid inside?

[@nicholascarioti6623]

At how many k do you recommend to change the transmission Fluid

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

Factory recommends every 60,000 mi, which would be roughly 96,000-97,000 km!

[@nicholascarioti6623]

Ok thx

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

@@nicholascarioti6623 You got it!

[@nicholascarioti6623]

[@jawaone2474]

Why don’t you get a spark plug socket?

[@HowToEscapeDIYTipsandReviews]

I do have a spark plug socket- the one I had was too thick in the sidewalls though so I had to go get a different one as discussed in the video
