The 2011 Ford Escape's AWD 3.0 l V6 engine is equipped with 6 US quarts of 5W-30. The Escape's 2.5 l 4Cylinder engine useS5 US quarts of 5W-20. Oil and filter changes should be scheduled every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months if using fully synthetic lubricants, or every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months, if using conventional oil. The advantages of using synthetic vs conventional products include better lubrication among moving parts, a longer interval between service appointments and enhanced effectiveness under adverse weather conditions. A motor oil with a thinner viscosity moves more easily in colder temperatures, coating engine components efficiently and providing better protection against friction and corrosion. Cost for a lube and filter job for the Subaru Impreza ranges between $112-$130 in parts and labor.
