2010 Ford Escape - Oil Drain Plug

Ford Escape Oil Drain Plug

The oil drain plug for your Ford Escape is used to drain the oil from the oil pan when you perform a routine oil change. Often, the drain plug on your Escape may be sealed with a gasket that should also be replaced when performing an oil change. The oil drain plug may be cross-threaded or otherwise damaged when it is replaced, which can cause leaks and make the oil drain plug harder to install or remove. Signs the oil drain plug or gasket is damaged include seeing signs of an oil leak or low oil levels. Losing oil should not be ignored, as this can lead to the engine seizing up. If you need to replace your oil drain plug or gasket, or need an oversized oil drain plug to make new threads in your oil pan, O'Reilly Auto Parts carries replacement oil drain plugs, along with replacement motor oil and the tools needed to perform routine oil changes on your Escape.
