Ford Edge Oil Capacity & Oil Type
TL;DR
Capacity ranges from about 5.5 to 6.0 US qt (5.2 to 5.7 L) with a new filter, and viscosity is either 5W-20 or 5W-30 depending on which engine your Edge has - check your underhood sticker or owner's manual to be certain.
Ford Edge oil capacity by engine
The Ford Edge was built across two generations (2007-2014 and 2015-2023) with several different engines, and oil capacity is tied to the engine, not the model name. Figures below are with a new oil filter installed, gathered from Ford-aligned service data and cross-checked across multiple maintenance sources.
Where to confirm your own vehicle
- The underhood emissions/oil sticker near the engine, which lists exact capacity and viscosity for your build
- Your owner's manual, in the Capacities and Specifications section
- The oil filler cap, which usually shows the recommended viscosity grade
| Engine code / years | Capacity with filter (L / US qt) | Viscosity |
|---|---|---|
| 3.5L Duratec 35 V6 (2007-2010) | 5.2 L / 5.5 qt | 5W-20 |
| 3.7L Cyclone V6 (2011-2014) | 5.2-5.7 L / 5.5-6.0 qt (sources vary by year) | 5W-20 |
| 2.0L EcoBoost I4 (2015-2023) | 5.2-5.4 L / 5.5-5.7 qt (sources vary by year) | 5W-30 |
| 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (2015-2023) | 5.7 L / 6.0 qt | 5W-30 |
| 3.5L Cyclone V6 (2015-2018) | 5.7 L / 6.0 qt | 5W-20 |
Why the same model name has different numbers
Ford changed engine families twice during the Edge's life (the original Duratec 35, then the Cyclone V6, then the EcoBoost turbo engines), and each swap changed the oil pan, filter, and often the recommended viscosity. A capacity you read for a 2010 Edge does not apply to a 2018 Edge even though both are called Edge.
2012-2014 2.0L EcoBoost note
The Edge also offered an early 2.0L EcoBoost from 2012-2014. We could not find a figure for this specific early version that we felt confident stating as a hard number, so if you own one of these model years, read the capacity directly off your underhood sticker rather than relying on a generic web figure.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Ford Edge 2.7L EcoBoost really need 6 quarts?
Yes, service data for the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (2015-2023) consistently lists 6.0 US qt (5.7 L) of SAE 5W-30 with a new filter, though some owners find the dipstick reads full slightly before the last few ounces go in - fill to the dipstick mark, not strictly to 6.0 quarts.
Is the oil capacity the same for the 3.5L and 3.7L Edge engines?
They are close but not always identical - the 2007-2010 3.5L Duratec commonly lists 5.5 qt (5.2 L), while some 2011-2014 3.7L Cyclone service guides list 6.0 qt (5.7 L). Because sources vary by exact model year, check your own underhood sticker or manual before buying oil.
What viscosity oil does my Ford Edge need?
V6 Duratec and Cyclone engines (2007-2018) generally call for 5W-20, while the EcoBoost turbo engines (2.0L and 2.7L, 2015-2023) call for 5W-30. Always confirm on your oil filler cap or in the owner's manual, since Ford has updated recommendations over the model run.
Where is the most reliable place to find my exact Edge's oil capacity?
The underhood emissions sticker (near the radiator support or on the fan shroud) and the Capacities and Specifications section of your printed or digital owner's manual are both sourced directly from Ford for your exact engine build, which makes them more reliable than generic online charts.
