    Recommended oil type

    2.5L, 1.5L and 1.6L EcoBoost: SAE 5W-20; Ford recommends Motorcraft 5W-20 or an oil meeting WSS-M2C945-A (B1 from 2019).

    2.0L and 2.7L EcoBoost: SAE 5W-30 meeting WSS-M2C946-A (B1 from 2019). The 2018–2019 manuals list SAE 0W-30 (WSS-M2C953) as an alternative for extremely cold climates.

    The Fusion Hybrid and Energi are not covered on this page.

    How to reset the oil life on the 2014–2020 Ford Fusion

    See also: Oil life reset by brand.

    Ford’s manuals reset the oil life monitor from the information display: use the steering-wheel controls to go to Settings > Vehicle > Oil Life (newer models: Vehicle Maintenance > Oil Life), then press and hold OK until the display confirms the reset. Reset only after an oil change.

    Oil change tips

    • A 5-quart jug covers the 1.5L; the 2.0L and 2.5L need a 5-quart jug plus about one quart.
    • Add a little less than the full capacity, run the engine, wait a few minutes and check the dipstick before topping up.

    All capacities and oil grades on this page come from Ford’s owner’s manuals, published on Ford’s official owner manuals site (chapter “Capacities and Specifications”):

    Ford lists one capacity per engine, always including the oil filter. We checked the capacity tables in every model-year manual on this page.

    Recommended oil type

    2.0L EcoBoost: SAE 5W-30. Ford recommends Motorcraft 5W-30 (synthetic blend or full synthetic) or an oil that meets WSS-M2C946-A (2014–2017) or WSS-M2C946-B1 (2018–2019).

    1.6L EcoBoost, 1.5L EcoBoost and 2.5L: SAE 5W-20, meeting WSS-M2C945-A (2014–2017) or WSS-M2C945-B1 (2018–2019).

    Ford’s site does not publish the 2013 Escape owner’s manual, so we have not checked 2013 figures; the 2013 Escape used the same 1.6L, 2.0L and 2.5L engines as 2014, but confirm with your manual.

    Ford tells owners not to use supplemental engine oil additives.
