Thanks for the video. Definitely time to do it myself. I went to Ford and they left the under shield dangling once, recently they left the oil fill cap off, oil splashed up on my engine on start up. Got a so sorry! After they cleaned up my engine. Plus they doubled the price on a standard oil change. Again appreciate all Escape do it yourself Videos.
I can pass on a tip. Once you get the filter loosened , use one of those zip lock freezer bags over the filter . The oil wont be running all over and if the filter slips in your hand due to the cramped space it falls into the bag. Less ness
Ok.....so they actually give you near zero room to access the oil filter, figures. Thanks for the warning. Nice job though. I'da had oil down to my elbow. Doing this tomorrow. Same vehicle. Thanks for the vid.
@@chrisrichardson1366 Couldn't get the old filter off by hand. Had to get my filter pliers. I definitely took some of your tips seriously and it worked out well. Thanks so much for the long distance help. Can't get that locally.
Thank you for pointing that out. I thought it was weird it was posted at 4.4 L. When 4.3 quarts were recommended on the Amsoil site. Sorry for the confusion.
What shitty engineering that a regular service component (oil filter) is not more readily accessible. I saw some other online place where they say that a long interval oil filter can plug up to a point where the oil will be bypassed, so even if the oil is rated for a long intervals, I would recommend at least changing the filter more often and add back new oil to cover what you lost from the old filter.
Good video but personally I would read the owners manual for oil quantity, you read the amount of oil that goes in the A/C system. For ecoboost owners, do not recommend 12k miles or a year between service intervals. 3-5K mile oil changes should be typical for the longevity of the turbo. Otherwise you will be replacing a turbocharger if you do extended oil changes as oil filter and oil manufactures "suggest."
For everyone so miffed about the oil filter. These are forced induction, turbo charged grocery getters. First generation for ecoboost. You can't just put the oil filter next to the gas tank door, with it's own door (sarcasm) but seriously there is only so much room considering the turbo uses the same oil system. It's very complicated and it can't just be in your center counsel. It's not that obscured.
I use my car jack, a jack stand, and a spare tire. I pick a tire, switch it out with the spare, and rotate it. I continue this process until I have rotated all of the tires and returned to swap out the spare. Does this make sense?
It's funny how the under carriage shields are too flimsy to provide any real protection and they don't help with aero either because they only cover the engine not the whole car. Ford wont admit it but the shields real purpose is to catch engine oil leaks before they land on your driveway. I guess they gave up on building an engine that doesn't leak. LOL

Sucks to hear about your experience and I am glad I could help.

Thanks. That is a great idea.
I enjoyed the sharp attention to detail. Thank you.

I hope it goes smoothly.

On mine I have easy access
Ford gives zero room for anything on these garbage escapes
My 2015 Ford Escape S used a T-27 torx and a 15mm socket, but it's a 2.5L
Thanks for the information. It may help someone else.
4.4 fl oz is the oil for the ac system the motor takes 4.3 quarts of oil.
Thank you for pointing that out. I thought it was weird it was posted at 4.4 L. When 4.3 quarts were recommended on the Amsoil site. Sorry for the confusion.
I thought it was 5.7

Thanks for the video. Is this a 1.2L Escape.
This is the 1.6L engine
But yes everyone skip the part where he said add 4.4Oz that literally a sip of juice.you need Quarts
Der, da, der, you're so smart.
Very helpful. Thank you.😀😃
Gracias por su explicacion
Thanks… helpful!
You're welcome!

How do you rotate your tires?
I use my car jack, a jack stand, and a spare tire. I pick a tire, switch it out with the spare, and rotate it. I continue this process until I have rotated all of the tires and returned to swap out the spare. Does this make sense?
Sorry, for the delay in my response.
Where did you get the oil filter?
I got the filter from Amsoil. Here is the website www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/?zo=5701631
Ok, it's best to let a shop do it, thanks..
You need to fill the coolant asap.
Thanks for noticing.
@@chrisrichardson1366these things make that coolant dissapear

Roger that.
My Escape takes 5W-30 0_0
You must have the 2.0L 4 cyl turbo, yes? Thanks for pointing that out. The 2.5L 4-cyl engine and the 1.6L 4-cyl engine require the 5W-20.
Such an unaware comment...😂😂
I will never understand why they dont place the oil filter in a place where you dont make a mess changing it. #stupid
Tight engine compartment for efficiency but I get it
