Great video! As my Fusion is getting closer to 175k miles, I’m thinking more and more about doing oil changes myself so I can make sure things are done properly and with care. This doesn’t seem to difficult if you have access to a good lift 👌🏼
@@tiffanyv4205 2.5L n/a but i found someone with the same engine and it is 5w20... Says it in his cap and in his book. Which i cant do i lost my book and dont have the words on the cap
jpnm81 almost every one is doing this. Some cars have a smaller access panel thats a part of the bigger shield that can be removed easier for drain plug and filter access.
Well um yeah ya have to life the car enough off the ground to be able to reach the oil drain plug and filter.... It's the same deal with any car... Pickup trucks??? That can vary depending on their stock body height off the ground versus how far you are..or are not.
He literally just did this in less than 15 min. Why do I spend over an hour and pay $40+ at the dealership????
Actually $40.00 is a fair price for the oil change.Thank you for watching . I'm happy to help. Don't forget to subscribe.
Cause they also perform tire rotation, air filter replacement/cleaning, vacuum the cowel, check brake pad life, tread depth, top off fluids, etc etc..
@@jimthecarguy and i do agree $40 is a pretty reasonable price for an oil change/service
Obviously because you don’t know how to change oil?😂
@B B never said I did lol
Just did mine super easy! Thanks 4 the vid
Man that has to be the easiest oil filter placement ever.
How many quarts does it take ?
Thanks Jim! Great video

Would anybody know what the torque spec is for the oil drain plug on this car?

Great video. My 2014 Ford Fusion Titanium 2.0 ecoboost took 5W30 not 5w20.
Must be because you got the turbo motor.
Thank you so much for a great video. Great explanation!
Whats the drain plug size.. 9/16?
Is this a 2.0 ecoboost ?
Is this guy Steve pitbull's brother or something?
Thanks for watching
What size gasket is on the plug?
I try to Google this and i get 5w30 and 5w20 ass results both for this same model.... From reputable sights too... So which do i use..
What is your Ford Fusion engine? 1.5 , 2.0....??

@@starcraftgod1212123 Get a PDF of the owners manual here owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/owner-manuals.html
Wouldn't it be okay to prefil the filter before hand tightening it back on?
Yes you can. Thanks for watching.
Using a ratchet too break bolts loose. When will people learn too use the right tool for the job.
What are you talking about? How do you remove a bolt?
@@jimthecarguy I think he's suggesting you use a breaker bar lol
would it be a major problem if a use a 5W30 Synthetic blend from motorcraft in the 2.0 ecoboost engine?
I will talk about this on my Sunday night live stream at 7:00 PM.I hope you can stop by
jimthecarguy i just found this video. So i didn't see the live video. Would 5w30 synthetic be a issue?
I read the owners manual and saw the oil cap.
Ford specifically recommends using 5W30
At least for my 2013 2.0 ecoboost Fusion.
Fusion in the video needs SW20, mine needs SW30.
Is that cover metal or plastic ?
None
Omg really ford ? No access to the drain plug, is anyone else doing this?
Yes one of there better ideas.A lot of other manufactures are also doing this.I just had a VW in the shop today with that plastic shield.
jimthecarguy ya they really don't want people to service cars except dealers I guess
jpnm81 almost every one is doing this. Some cars have a smaller access panel thats a part of the bigger shield that can be removed easier for drain plug and filter access.
You right .Some are plastic and the others are made of some kind of other material.
Is this on the 2.5 engine?
Mines the 2.5 they're identical
This is not this easy without a lift
Thanks for watching.
Just use car ramps
Well um yeah ya have to life the car enough off the ground to be able to reach the oil drain plug and filter....
It's the same deal with any car...
Pickup trucks??? That can vary depending on their stock body height off the ground versus how far you are..or are not.
I have a 2013 Fusion Titanium and my engine is covered. Did this car have the plastic cover over it's engine? Thanks for the video!
Yes I think they do but I'm not sure
Mine does. Personally I love it because it keeps the engine clean
