    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.

    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.
