How many quarts does a 2013 Ford Edge take?
In brief, the 2013 Ford Edge typically takes about 5 quarts of engine oil with a filter for a standard oil change. The precise capacity can vary slightly by engine option, but 5 quarts covers the majority of configurations. This article explains the capacities for the available engines and how to ensure you fill correctly.
Engine options and oil capacity
The 2013 Edge offered two main engine choices. Here are the commonly cited oil capacities for a drain-and-fill with a new filter:
- 3.5L V6 Duratec: 5 quarts (with filter)
- 2.0L EcoBoost I-4: 5 quarts (with filter)
Note: Oil type is typically SAE 5W-20 for both engines, and the 5-quart figure is for a standard oil change. If your vehicle has a different configuration (for example, unusual trim or drivetrain considerations), verify the exact capacity in the owner's manual or with a dealer.
Oil type and fill recommendations
For most 2013 Edge models, Ford recommends using SAE 5W-20 viscosity oil. Synthetic blends or full synthetic oils are commonly used for longer change intervals, but always confirm the grade and specification in your owner’s manual or on the oil cap label.
How to check the oil level and avoid overfill: park on level ground, run the engine briefly, turn it off, wait a few minutes, then check the dipstick. Add small amounts of oil until the level reaches the full mark. If you accidentally overfill, carefully drain out a bit to bring the level back to the full line.
Summary
The 2013 Ford Edge generally requires 5 quarts of engine oil with a filter for a standard oil change, regardless of whether you have the 3.5L Duratec or the 2.0L EcoBoost engine. Use 5W-20 oil as a standard recommendation and always consult your owner’s manual or dealer for the exact specification and capacity for your VIN and drivetrain configuration.
