I put the new Escape on PP, and bought a used 07 Fusion. Switched the Fusion to PP, and other than the fun of my first cartridge oil change, (AZ gave me the wrong cartridge) it went smooth. The only question is, I took 5 quarts of oil and the filter out of it. I put 4.5 quarts and a new filter back in per the owners manual(4.5 comes to the full mark on the Escape), and it just reads on the stick. One sight lists the capacity at 4.8 quarts. Is anybody running 5 or 5.5 quarts in the I4 2.3 Fusion?.
Note, the dealer told me they changed the oil on this lease return. I changed it right away anyway. It seemed beat/dirty, as well as being a 3/4 of a quart high. The air filter was so dirty, I doubted, their claim of running all maintenance through the shop before putting them on the lot.
