2008 Ford Escape Oil Capacity

The 2008 Ford Escape takes either 6.0 qt or 4.5 qt of oil, depending on the engine. The Duratec 30 uses 6.0 qt of 5W-20 oil, while the L3-NS uses 4.5 qt of 5W-20 oil.

Read the capacity alongside the engine code: the figures are not interchangeable across these two engine options. The listed oil grade is the same for both, but the amount differs by engine. These facts describe the listed 2008 configurations; they do not provide separate capacity figures for different trims or other model years.

Before servicing, match your Escape’s engine to the applicable figure. If your engine code or required capacity is not shown here, confirm it on the door jamb or in the owner’s manual.
