How much oil does a 3.5 Ford Edge take?

The 3.5-liter V6 in most Ford Edge models typically requires about 5.7 quarts (roughly 5.4 liters) of engine oil with the filter. Always verify the exact fill amount for your specific year and engine variant in the owner's manual or on the under-hood information label.


The question spans several Edge generations, as Ford used the 3.5-liter engine across multiple model years with minor variations. This article summarizes the commonly cited capacity and practical guidance for checking and changing oil on a 3.5 Edge.


Capacity and specifications


Most 3.5L V6 engines in the Ford Edge use a capacity of about 5.7 quarts with a filter. This figure applies to the Ti-VCT versions that powered many Edge models from the early 2010s through the late 2010s. Always confirm with the owner's manual for your exact year and engine code.


To help you confirm the right quantity and care, the key numbers and considerations are summarized below.



    Key figures to keep in mind when planning an oil change:


  • Oil capacity (with filter): 5.7 quarts (5.4 liters).

  • Recommended oil grade: typically SAE 5W-20; verify the specification for your year and climate in the owner's manual.

  • Oil change interval: commonly 5,000–7,500 miles (or 6 months) depending on driving conditions; synthetic oil can allow longer intervals.


Bottom line: For most 3.5L Edge engines, plan on roughly 5.7 quarts of oil with the filter, and always confirm the exact amount and grade for your vehicle from the manual or door sticker.


Summary


The Ford Edge's 3.5-liter V6 typically uses about 5.7 quarts of engine oil with the filter. Always verify the exact amount for your model year and engine code, use the recommended grade (usually 5W-20), and follow the scheduled oil-change intervals. After filling, check the dipstick to ensure the level sits between the minimum and maximum marks.
