Thanks for the video! I’m hoping to do this soon! Legit going to the dealership is a lot of money for an oil change. Wish there was more videos for a 2021 Ecosport maintenance.
Thanks for this video. This makes me more confident in using my new 3-ton low profile jack on the subframe under my EcoSport. Have been worried about using it there, but it will be so much easier to use one jack instead of two on the pinch welds. Got some SUV 6 ton jack stands, and I'm ready for the second round as the cold months start kicking in. My first time changing it, the oil filter was practically on, loctite, tight. I fought it and swore a lot. Same with my sister's Fiesta. They sabotage tighten this stuff to keep you from doing it yourself. Used 5W-20 Super Tech synthetic with a little bit of Lucas synthetic oil stabilizer. Runs good with it.
My 2018 Eco Sport with the 1.0 liter engine has the filter on sideways so it makes a real mess removing it. Other than that oil changes on these vehicles are very easy.
The 2.0L engine is easier to change the oil on than 1.0L EcoBoost. With the 1 liter EcoBoost the engine oil filter is up high on the back side of the engine facing the firewall. It's impossible to not to spill oil unless you get creative. When you loosen the oil filter oil will run all down over the block. Or it will drip down on the axle shaft. I like your tip about filling the oil filter. Most people don't think of that. Depending on location you can't always do that. I like that it sets vertically straight up and down. When the 1.0LEcoBoost it is on its side. The Motorcraft filterr is FL 910S. It is the same for both engines. If you dare. Wix, Fram and others make an oversized filter. In the case of the FL910s the Fram equivalent is the 3614 series. The oversized filter is the Fram 3600 series. All specs are the same as far as bypass and gasket. The 3600 is much larger and will hold just a bit more oil.
My 2020 4 wheel drive with the 2.0 engine takes 5 quarts of oil with a motorcraft fl910s oil filter. Owner manual says 4.3 quarts brings it to the bottom on dip stick. I put 5 quarts in puts it right to full line. Don’t know why owners manual says 4.3 quarts .I’ve done 9 oil changes on it .
When I service the trans on it I will definitely make a video. I will probably do it at 30k. I’m also going to change the PTU fluid because that’s known to have problems.
I have an EcoSport 4WD 2L. The 'service required' message comes on when starting the car. I changed oil a few miles prior to receiving this message. When I go to "Information" on the panel, it only shows 4WD and MYKEYS....there is NO option for OIL. How do I get rid of the message?
Is it a check engine light or a wrench light? Otherwise you need to navigate through the menu to reset the oil change reminder. With the keypad on the left of the steering wheel, use the up and down arrows to get to settings. Then press the button with 3 lines on it. Then use the up and down arrows to get to oil life. Then hold OK to reset oil life.
Try to find the fuel filter then locate the petcock located at the bottom of the filter base. Drain out the water till you get clean diesel. Sometimes under the hood. Sometime located near the fuel tank.
Quality is just not there with fram anymore. I never would have known until I started doing research watching videos of people cutting open fram filters and seeing what poor quality they are. You should check some out.
I guess 'they' say that the High Mileage formula conditions (swells) the seals SO well, that if you went back to a regular synthetic, the seals would leak. I don't know that to be true, however, as I haven't experienced it firsthand. I have not used High Mileage oil in a newer, low mileage vehicle.
@@brycelund4112 From your experience working with the ecosport at the dealer what issues do you see with them with the 2.0 liter engine? I know the 1.0 ecoboost has many issues but I have heard the duratec is a more reliable engine. I am thinking about getting an used ecosport as an in town commuter vehicle. Thanks
Thanks a lot. Great. I just bought one. It's all I could find that didn't have a million frickin' miles on it. 2021 AWD 2.0. Has not quite 9,000 miles. People drive too much. It's like they drive and drive to get away from themselves, as well as living ridiculously far from their jobs. My neighbor won't leave his vehicle alone. He drives around all day when he's not at work, comes home for 5 mins, then gets back in it and takes off again. His wife too. Her car sounds like crap because she's wearing her's out too. All day everyday. Can't people just cool their jets at home? Reminds me of Peter Griffin on cocaine.

I have a 2021 and this helped thanks
Same
Excellent job, great video.
Thanks for the nice in clean bottom of the engine.
Sending you a hug from Montevideo Uruguay.
It's easy to change the engine oil. The transmission and PTU are another story.
Video just helped me out a ton; thank you sir! Looking forward to trading mine in for a truck soon lol

The Motorcraft FL400 is slightly longer than the 910 and can be used if there is sufficient space

I heard the Mobil one synthetic is the best to get. It tested better than all the other brands.
I’ve used it for years. It works well for me.
Good idea about placing key fob away from nehicle.
I’ve seen people changing their oil with the key fob in their pocket rolling around on it. Hopefully they don’t bump the remote start.
Very informative. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it helped.
Where is the transmission fill plug located ? Can you please make a video I can’t seem to find it
When I service the trans on it I will definitely make a video. I will probably do it at 30k. I’m also going to change the PTU fluid because that’s known to have problems.
I have a 2020 Se. This was very helpful

Thanks.
Oh yeah that's easy and safe
How to clean diesel oil filter when dash shows "water in fuel" warning light.
Try to find the fuel filter then locate the petcock located at the bottom of the filter base. Drain out the water till you get clean diesel. Sometimes under the hood. Sometime located near the fuel tank.
@@brycelund4112 your ecosport has petrol engine? Coz i was asking about ecosport only.
@@bhuwanchandra2066 oh yeah sorry I didn’t even know they made these cars with a Diesel engine.
Newbie here, why are Fram filters not good?
Quality is just not there with fram anymore. I never would have known until I started doing research watching videos of people cutting open fram filters and seeing what poor quality they are. You should check some out.
@@brycelund4112 I see, will keep that in mind, thanks!
Fram ultra synthetic is a good filter.
A true mechanic...think safety first...hence = like and Subscribe. 🙏😇🤑🍔
Has anyone out there ever tried to buy a spare rim, or balloon tire for their eco-sport.
They don’t come with one or have a place to put one. They come with a tire mobility kit.
@@brycelund4112 and where are they purchased from.
@@timchapell3137 The tire mobility kit comes with the car. If you are looking for a replacement. Contact your local Ford dealer.
How to reset BMS ?
This isn’t a hybrid but maybe try the owners manual.
@@brycelund4112 nothing mentioned in owner manual about resetting Battery management system....mine is not hybrid too
I’m not sure I have never done that before. If I think of it I’ll check it out at work see if I can find anything out.
Ford uses a new rubber seal with drain plug on each oil change.
May be not done in your place.
I actually work at a Ford dealership and we don’t change those out. They are reusable.
@@brycelund4112 okay.. It's done in India.
Always wear some latex protective gloves when changing oil. The used oil is carcinogenic. Just looking out for you brother.
Guess I’m doomed. Done hundreds of oil changes never worn gloves once. Probably should though.
@@brycelund4112 I used to change oil without gloves when I was young. It's never too late to start
@@LA_Commander Yeah not a bad idea.
High Mileage formula on a new engine.. I would not do that..
Why exactly? I just grabbed full synthetic oil from the shelf. I’ve been using Mobil1 for a long time and it’s worked well.
I guess 'they' say that the High Mileage formula conditions (swells) the seals SO well, that if you went back to a regular synthetic, the seals would leak.
I don't know that to be true, however, as I haven't experienced it firsthand. I have not used High Mileage oil in a newer, low mileage vehicle.
You are supposed to use motorcraft oil filter and motorcraft oil not from those stupid companies.
It all comes out of the ground. Whatever works for you.
You don’t. This vehicle is a piece of crap
From what I’ve seen while working at the Ford dealer I agree.
You are a idiot. Those are good little suvs you don’t know what the heck you are talking about so go away dip blank
