Ford Escape Hybrid (2012 year). Manual — part 85

NORMAL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LOG
Your vehicle is equipped with a oil minder system that indicates when
the engine oil should be changed under normal operating conditions.
This means you won’t have to remember to change the oil on a
mileage-based schedule; the vehicle lets you know when an oil change is
due by displaying ENGINE OIL CHANGE DUE NEXT SERVICE or OIL
CHANGE REQUIRED in the message center.

Normal Scheduled Maintenance

(16,000 km) or
12 months
