 09 escape 4 cyl. first oil change
Hi! I have a 09 escape 4 cyl. 6 sp. auto trans, front wh. dr. with 2000 mi. and want to change the oil for the first time. I called the dealer to see which filter it took and it was like I was asking for Space Schuttle Parts. 30 min. later they said it had a cartridge filter rather than a spin on, is Ford going back to the 60's, what is the reason for a cartridge filter? Anyway what is the cartridge filter part # and what wrenchs do I need to change it? Also how many qts. does it take and do I need syn. oil, does this have any grease fittings and what other maitainence should I do when I change oil? THANK YOU!!!!! Rick |
