2017 Ford Escape Oil Filter in Fort Worth, TX

The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule for this model year calls for oil filter replacement every 10,000 miles. Replacing it with the oil keeps captured debris from remaining in a loaded filter. The filter’s bypass valve can open when the filter loads, allowing oil to circulate without filtration.

• Filter replacement accompanies the oil service.
• The filter is matched to the engine fitted.
• A leak check follows engine operation.

The technician selects the filter according to the engine’s specification rather than treating every Escape engine as identical. After installation, the engine is run so the filter seal can be checked for leaks. The filter is replaced alongside the oil as part of the service.

• Filter matched to the engine specification.
• Drain plug gasket or washer when the engine uses one.
• Inspection of the filter seal after the engine runs.
