Girlie here and I'm gonna try to change oil for the first time in my life using this guide 🤞🏻

Thank you, Brian. You are the first video out of 5 that I checked, that explained the correct procedure for resetting OIL LIFE. The other people say hold the gas pedal and brake to the floor, which didn't do anything for my 2017 Escape with 1.5L engine.

Another tip from no one: Remove dipstick and oil filter and oil cap to let air in and ensure more old fluid is removed

@regsparkes6507 Жыл бұрын

I have a TIP for you, next time you want to pour the oil, try holding the oil bottle ( jug ) with the spout on top, i.e. 12:00 o'clock. This way it will let air in and oil will pour without slopping it all over.

Great video, I just wonder if the wheels chocks you used would do anything other than slide away. Those oil containers are made to be poured while on their side.

Awesome! When I first saw this video I was a little annoyed when I saw the filter all the way up in there and sideways! I was trying to locate mine from the hood side and only noticed something hanging straight down not sideways like this gentleman’s. That would explain why lol

The jack stand should positioned near the front of the car. They are safer than a hydraulic jack. Also. this video is not for all Ford escapes. There are 3 different engines on the 2018 model.

Hi. I'm not sure if this is your Escape, but I'll ask anyway. I am looking for a phone mount for my 2019 Escape. Do you have a good recommendation? Thanks, Eric

Thanks for the great video. Can you let us know the point in the car that you set the jack in the center to support and lower the car. Been trying to figure out a good spot to support the weight.

@BrianFischer 2 жыл бұрын

It's technically not a jack point I don't believe, but if you move the splash guard off, you'll see a part of the frame that looks to be safe to put pressure on. Just be very careful with the contact points the jack is making.

Hi Brian, I see you used 5w30 oil. Is it recommended by the dealer or the user manual? In my user manual 5w30 is recommeneded but all the dealerships recommend 5w20.

@BrianFischer Жыл бұрын

Really, _any_ oil will work. You can use 10W30, 0W30, etc. 5W30 I believe is what is recommended by the manual. The dealership in your area may prefer 5W20. Oil preference can depend heavily on the climate in your area. For example, in a hotter area, like Arizona, you may want a thicker oil since the heat will make it "thinner", vs. in a colder climate, say Alaska, you may want to start with a thinner oil since the cold will make it "thicker," if that makes sense. For all my cars, I've always stuck with either 10W30 or 5W20. Ultimately, your call. 5W30 vs. 5W20 won't have a huge difference.

@@BrianFischer Hi, Thanks a million. So it's not big deal then. I have been thinking about it a lot but now I stop worrying about it. (I thought I made a mistake using thinner oil.) Thanks again and thanks for the video.

Usually the oil specification is on the filler cap, e.g., 5w-20, etc.

@newfie-dean5803 2 ай бұрын

Follow the manual. The manual even specifies what oil to use if you live in a very cold climate. If you live in a normal climate use 5W30 as specified.

@petemahon5907 2 жыл бұрын

Word of recommendation. Don’t use the old oil on the filter’s gasket. Use the new oil you just bought for the oil change. In the long run, it might not make much of a difference, but it’s more of a mindset. Why put dirty oil with possible metallic particles in it onto a piece of rubber that makes direct contact to a machine that vibrates?

@sharonday2027 Жыл бұрын

Would it be ok to use ramps instead of jack stans??

@gp9164 6 ай бұрын

I prefer to use ramps when I’m under the car. I have a 2017 escape and the ramps work great for an oil change. I use Jack stands for anything with the wheels or tires ofc. It’s nice to have both options at home.

@jeffpaxton9172 2 жыл бұрын

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

@muniz27 11 ай бұрын

I'm pretty sure that, as the name suggests, splash guards are meant to keep splashes from making a mess in the engine bay and keep it a bit cleaner. Unless they're made from metal, that's the only purpose they have, regardless of the car brand.

I'd recommend: 1. You slow down and read the onscreen instructions. 2. You get a full-size socket set, preferably in both SAE and Metric. 3. Get spell check. If you can't take a minute to read what I put on the screen, this job might be too complex for you. I'd hate for you to forget putting oil back in the car and then trying to run the car.
