How much oil does a Ford Edge take?

The quick answer is: it depends on the engine and model year. Most Ford Edge engines require roughly 5 to 7 quarts of oil when you do a full refill and filter change.


Across its generations, the Edge has been offered with several engines, including a 2.0L EcoBoost I-4, a 2.7L EcoBoost V6, and a 3.5L V6. Each configuration has its own oil capacity, so the exact amount varies by year, trim, and drivetrain. To avoid guesswork, consult your vehicle’s owner’s manual or Ford’s official specs for your VIN.


Engine-by-engine oil capacities


Caps vary by engine, so the figures below reflect common Edge configurations. Always verify the exact capacity for your specific vehicle using the owner’s manual or Ford’s official online resources.


2.0L EcoBoost I-4


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


2.7L EcoBoost V6


Oil capacity: about 7.0 quarts (6.6 liters) with filter.


3.5L V6


Oil capacity: about 5.8–6.0 quarts (5.5–5.7 liters) with filter.


Note: Exact capacity can differ by model year and whether you’re performing a full or partial fill. For the precise figure, check the owner’s manual or a VIN-specific spec sheet from Ford.


How to confirm the exact capacity for your Edge


Because engines and configurations vary, use reliable sources tailored to your exact vehicle. The steps below help you confirm quickly.



  1. Locate your engine type (2.0L EcoBoost, 2.7L EcoBoost, or 3.5L) in the owner's manual or on the vehicle’s information placard and verify it matches your model year.

  2. Consult Ford’s official maintenance/spec sheets for your model year and engine combination, ideally using your VIN.

  3. Refer to the oil capacity section in your manual or the dipstick reading guidance after performing a change to ensure you’ve added the correct amount.


If you’re still unsure, contact a Ford dealer or service center. They can pull the exact specification for your VIN and ensure you use the correct capacity during an oil change.


Oil type and maintenance tips


Follow the manufacturer’s recommended oil grade and viscosity for your engine and climate. Most Edge engines use a synthetic or synthetic-blend oil, with the exact grade (for example, 5W-20 or 5W-30) listed in the owner's manual. Use a quality oil filter, and reset or monitor the oil life system after every change. Oil-change intervals typically depend on the oil you use and driving conditions, but many owners follow the vehicle’s recommended schedule or the oil life monitor.


Summary


The Ford Edge’s oil capacity varies by engine: roughly 5.7 quarts for the 2.0L EcoBoost, about 7.0 quarts for the 2.7L EcoBoost, and around 5.8–6.0 quarts for the 3.5L V6. To ensure accuracy, verify the exact figure for your specific vehicle using the owner’s manual or Ford’s VIN-specific specs, and always use the recommended oil type and change interval. If you share your model year and engine, I can help pinpoint the precise capacity for your Edge.
