How much oil does a Ford 2.0 hold?

Oil capacity for Ford’s 2.0-liter engines varies by variant and model year. In general, the non-turbo 2.0 (Duratec) uses about 4.5 quarts with a new filter, while the turbocharged 2.0 EcoBoost typically requires about 5.2–5.7 quarts with a filter. Always confirm the exact figure from your owner's manual or Ford’s official specifications for your vehicle’s VIN.


Engine variants and typical capacities


The following sections summarize typical oil capacities by engine family. The numbers refer to oil capacity with a new filter installed.


Ford 2.0 Duratec (non-turbo)



  • Approximately 4.5 quarts (4.3 liters) of oil with a new filter.


Note that exact capacity can vary slightly by model year and specific engine variant within the Duratec 2.0 family.


Ford 2.0 EcoBoost (turbocharged)



  • Approximately 5.2–5.7 quarts (5.0–5.4 liters) with a new filter.


Turbocharged EcoBoost 2.0 engines typically requre more oil due to the turbocharger and related cooling and lubrication demands; check your exact spec for your model/year.


How to confirm the exact capacity for your vehicle


To ensure you have the precise figure for your car, use the following steps:



  1. Open the owner's manual and locate the Specifications section for engine oil capacity; note the value listed for your exact engine and year.

  2. Check the engine bay or door jamb labels for the recommended oil type and capacity, which often show the correct amount with the filter included.

  3. Consult Ford’s official service data or a reputable repair database using your VIN; capacities can vary by year, market, or engine revision.

  4. When performing an oil change, account for the filter and oil added; if you’ve replaced the filter, the capacity figure may be slightly different from the bare engine specification.


Always verify with the manual or dealer to avoid overfilling or underfilling, which can affect engine performance and longevity.


Summary


In short, a Ford 2.0-liter engine’s oil capacity generally falls around 4.5 quarts for non-turbo Duratec variants and about 5.2–5.7 quarts for the 2.0 EcoBoost turbo variant, with exact figures depending on year, model, and filter. Always verify the precise capacity for your specific vehicle using the owner’s manual, VIN-based service data, or your Ford dealer.

What oil does the Ford EcoBoost 2.0 recommend?


The recommended oil for a 2.0L EcoBoost engine is SAE 5W-30, which should meet Ford's WSS-M2C946-A or WSS-M2C961-A1 specification. Ford recommends a synthetic blend, such as Motorcraft® SAE 5W-30 Premium Synthetic Blend Motor Oil, but many 5W-30 full synthetic oils that meet the specification are also suitable. 
Key specifications

  • Viscosity: 5W-30 is the standard viscosity recommended for most conditions. For extreme cold climates, 0W-30 may be an option, depending on the specific vehicle. 
  • Specifications: Look for oil that meets the Ford specification WSS-M2C946-A or WSS-M2C961-A1. 
  • Compliance: The oil should also be compliant with standards like ILSAC GF-6A and API SP-RC. 
  • Oil Type: Ford officially recommends a synthetic blend, but a 100% full synthetic oil that meets the required specifications is a good choice, especially for turbocharged engines.
