The 2015 Ford Escape uses different oil filters depending on the engine under the hood. The most common filters for this model year are the Motorcraft FL820S for the 2.5L I-4 and the Motorcraft FL910S for the EcoBoost engines (1.6L and 2.0L).
In 2015, the Escape offered three engine options: a 2.5-liter inline-four, a 1.6-liter EcoBoost, and a 2.0-liter EcoBoost. Each engine has its own spin-on oil filter. Knowing exactly which engine your Escape has helps ensure you buy the correct part at an auto parts store or from a dealer.
Engine-by-engine oil filter numbers
Before you buy, confirm the exact engine in your Escape. The following mappings cover the most common configurations for that year.
- 2.5L I4 engine — Motorcraft FL820S oil filter.
- 1.6L EcoBoost engine — Motorcraft FL910S oil filter.
- 2.0L EcoBoost engine — Motorcraft FL910S oil filter.
Note: Some markets and vehicle builds may use alternative cross-reference filters. If you have the old filter, check the stamped part number or cross-check with Motorcraft’s parts finder using your VIN to be sure you’re ordering the correct unit.
How to verify and purchase
When in doubt, use these steps to confirm the correct oil filter before ordering or visiting the parts counter.
- Consult the vehicle’s owner's manual for the recommended filter part number.
- Inspect the existing filter for its part number, if accessible.
- Use a VIN-based parts lookup on Motorcraft or a trusted retailer to confirm the exact filter that matches your engine and year.
If you prefer, bring the vehicle to a dealership or independent shop for a quick confirmation or installation.
Summary
In short, a 2015 Ford Escape does not use a single oil filter for every configuration. The 2.5L I4 typically uses FL820S, while the 1.6L and 2.0L EcoBoost engines use FL910S. Always verify your engine type or VIN to ensure you order the correct filter, and consult the owner's manual or Motorcraft's official parts finder for confirmation.
