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.

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.
