Engine options and approximate oil capacity
Before listing, it’s helpful to know that the Fusion’s oil capacity isn’t the same across all engines. The following figures are commonly cited guidance for the primary 2014 models.
- 2.5L I-4 (Duratec): about 4.5 quarts (with filter).

Note: These figures are typical values used by owners and service guides. Exact capacity can vary slightly by production year, trim, and whether accessories like a short or long dipstick are used. For precision, consult the owner’s manual or Ford’s official specifications for your VIN.
How to confirm your exact capacity
To ensure you fill to the correct level, verify the precise specification for your vehicle’s engine and configuration. Check the oil fill cap for the recommended capacity, consult the owner’s manual, or contact a Ford service representative using your VIN. When in doubt, err on the side of a little underfill and top up after checking the dipstick, especially if you’re performing a first oil change on a new-to-you vehicle.
