How to Change the Engine Oil in a Ford Escape?

Model: Ford Escape MK 1 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Engine oil

Every one to two years at most, you need to service the Ford Escape by replacing the engine oil and the corresponding filter. The video explains how to do it yourself, saving money on labor costs at the shop. After lifting the vehicle, position yourself underneath and remove the plug that acts as a cap for the oil pan. Collect the used engine oil in a container and then replace the plug. Also, change the oil filter located near the oil pan. Finally, proceed to fill with new engine oil through the opening at the front of the vehicle.
