What is a 2012 Ford Escape’s oil type?

My partner has a 2012 Ford Escape, and I swear they haven’t changed the oil in years. What type of oil does an Escape use, so I can change it?

Good job taking charge of the situation! Not changing your oil regularly can cause serious engine damage—and so can using the wrong oil.
The
2012 Ford Escape’s
oil type is SAE 05W-20 synthetic blend oil.
Changing the engine oil regularly can extend your engine life and help preserve the integrity of your vehicle. This saves you money on maintenance and repairs in the long run.
Another great way to save money is by shopping for
