How much oil does a 2011 Ford Edge need?

• Oil capacity depends on whether the oil filter is changed; a safe, practical estimate for the 3.5L V6 is approximately 5 to 6 quarts with filter replacement.
• Exact capacity should be verified against the owner’s manual or by our technicians during service; we fill to the manufacturer specification and verify oil level on a warm engine.
• Using the correct volume and grade prevents overfilling or underfilling, both of which can cause engine issues — our certified team ensures precise fills every time.
