Well we found a 2014 Escape SE 1.6 Eco. Thanks to this forum, I checked out oil specs.
Book says 5W20, 4.3 quarts. Since it is boosted which oil would be best for short tripping?

I do have a nice supply of 0W20 from AZ clearance.
Castrol Magnatec and Mobil 1 Extended Performance.

Castrol EDGE is on the radar.
What do you experts think?
 
I'll wait for a real expert to chime in, but my mom drives an ecoboost Taurus. No real special oil needed, although I put in some Supertech synthetic that I had on the shelf with a Motorcraft oil filter. I haven't seen any real data that says a super expensive oil is needed. Put in what the operator's manual states.
