Changing engine oil in a 2011 Ford Fusion 

It’s people like you who have taught me a lot of the maintenance and fixes I’ve had to do over the years. Thank you for uploading

I see this video is 5 years old, but I just purchased a 2011 Fusion SEL. I've never worked on a car (it's a a NY thing we have the best transportation, so really don't need a car). Now I"m in my 60's and live in pacific northwest, so I cannot afford most mechanics. I am so grateful for this video, fantastic job bro. I am going to check your channel to see what else you teach. This is spot on perfect and good advise too. So from a total novice who is going to try and save some money and learn at same time, respect. This is perfect. Thank you again.

You might not be responding to replies anymore but I’m also planning to change my oil on my Ford Fusion. You feel like a dad teaching me how to do it lol. Thanks a ton for this! You are helping people everywhere!

Thank you so much. This is the best instructional video i have ever seen. No bs, clear shots. Great job man!

I appreciate the thorough explanation, but especially the camera work. Excellent!

Perfect, Chris! Man, am I glad I watched this. Saves me fumbling around when I do my first Fusion change.

The only thing I would do different is take a screw driver and poke a hole in the bottom of the oil filter to prevent your hand from getting oil soaked. I just bought the IDENTICAL car to yours. Thank you for showing me how to change the oil in my new baby. Dave in South Carolina.

Thanks for the video! I'm planning on doing my wife's oil change on her 2011 fusion and now I know how to do it.

This did help... I needed to know the placement of the bolts on the under plate and the size of the bolts. I have the same car. Thanks! Very helpful video.

Nice tutorial. I also drive a Fusion. Mine is a 2017 so I am still letting them do maintenance. I am sure many people will benefit from this video. It seems that everyone turns to the internet to learn how to do things these days.

just to let you know very helpful

Thanks man. I just bought a 2011 fusion and liked your video. Looks like changing the oil will take a little longer for me to do myself, but i won't be surprised by the plastic covers, thanks to your help and info.

great tutorial man. Im going to use this to chnage my oil for the first time on my own. Everything was done clearly and easy to follow. Even explained the screw sizes and amount of oil to use. i have the 2011 fusion also. Made everything really easy! Video deserves way more views

Great video! Thanks for taking the time, truly appreciated

wow good job, I'm going to change the oil myself for the first time. u are very thorough.

Like the dad I’ve never had

Hey thanks man, came in handy. I'm one to watch these almost every time so I dont have to search too much or guess socket sizes😅 exactly what I needed. Keep on keepin on✌

You could also put it in neutral and roll it off the ramps without starting it

Thanks bud great video man saved me some cash do it myself

Thank you Your car is 4 Cylinder mine is 2011 too but 6 cylinder little bit different I don't have to open 2 covers they put the Drain & the filter under the filter cover

Thank you so much for posting the video. Extremely helpful!!

I’m about to do my oil change right now. Thanks man! Very informative!💪🏼

Clear and concise, very helpful

Thanks a lot man my girlfriend is on her way and says she needs her oil changed in about 20 minutes. I watched this three times...now it GO TIME BABY. Very helpful!

Super clear and concise! Thanks a lot.

Thanx , just what I was looking for .

useful! I was wondering about those stupid covers.

Much appreciated man

Very Good Info Bro.

Very useful! Thanks for showing us.

Just what I was looking for!!

Lol. Don't have a cover. Great video

good straight forward tutorial without all the bullshit.

Thanks for the tips

Great video bro, very well done

Thanks for the video

Hey thanks Chris..very helpful. I wonder why Ford put those bottom panels. Toyota did the same thing. Maybe more aerodynamic? 😂

Good stuff. Well explained 👍

Good video. But maybe you forgot or didn't put in the video. The oil filter needs oil inside before installing. But hey.good info

After doing it, the little cover screws are 7mm and the single 10mm, and the drain plug is in fact 15mm

Smart to put the drain cover back on after draining. I know I’d make the same mistake of going back under and putting them back on after filling. 😁

Do you believe in engine additives for high mileage vehicles?

Good video. Nice and simple.

I prefer hot oil with a glove for better drainage.

Very helpful man. Thanks.

Thabk you very much that was very helpful

Thank you that was great 👍🏼

She still running? I have 292k on mine so far. Just changed the oil. My dipstick broke off tho so I was looking for oil capacity. I usually just eyeball it. 2011 Fusion SE Gray.

Thank you Appreciate the easy guide

Very very very helpful thank you

Should the car be let down so the car is level and all old oil is drained? Thanks For the help!

Thanks man!

Thanks for sharing video/knowledge.

I also have a 2011 ford fusion. I have a leak. I have no idea where its coming from? whether its engine oil, or transmission, or the power steering. Do you know where the power steering pump is located? and how can I determine where the leak is coming from ?

great video when its cold out i would say change when engine is warm to hot to get everything out of the case and pan but wear some good gloves Thanks!!!!

Nice video mate, I recently bought a 2011 Ford Fusion and got my 1st oil change at a service station but I purchased the oil myself but as per the owners manual I wanted to add 5.3 quarts, standard sizes are a 5 quart and I asked them to use a bit from a 1 quart can, he went a little over maybe 5.35-5.4 quarts, is this harmful for the engine? Should I get a little drained out

Thanks, needed a tool list

Owner manual says 5.3 quarts but after adding a full 5qt container of oil and checking level, its perfect.

How much did you spend changing the oil yourself?

Sounds just like my 2011 Ford Fusion. I spotted them der ramps at wally world for just under $40.

Thanks!

Great job bro.

Thank you.

Really helpful!!

Wish me luck doin this my first time now to

Thank you

Thank you sir

Thanks from ensenada

Love when people post these kinda videos, this whole job takes half the time he took!!! Step one warm oil not hot drains faster, step 2 rear cover oil plug drain oil by time you get cover off for filter oil will be done draining, replace plug and cover then filter and cover. ROOKIE'S

Hi my friend can you please give me the socket size for the screw cover please, very good video

6:14 That IS the damn drain plug bolt? WHAT THE HELL??? I have more experience than most kids my age, but mostly with older GM’s and my first car which was an Altima. But the fucking plug is sideways on this car?? What the fuck 😂 honestly I looked at it right away with doubt, but I should have just known. Because what the hell else is that bolt doing there 🤦🏻‍♂️ Three of my 9/32 screws were missing, and the only other screw that was holding that oil filter guard up was one of the 10mils from the guard next to this one. Plus my drain plug cover isn’t even there, and this is exactly why I love doing maintenance on used cars that have been purchased recently. Anyways, thanks for the help man, I appreciate it. Haven’t really worked on a car “this new” and I was scratching my head a bit over this one, as silly and basic as it is

Thank you so much, i really appreciate this video, you save me $54. Can you please tell me where you purchase those ramps you drove up on?

Thanks brotha definitely helps Stay trippy hippy

So you need a new filter?? Every time you refill it ?? Ooh

👍👍👍

I can NOT get the oil drain plug bolt loose. 15mm is too big, I tried using 13mm but just can't loosen the plug. Tried using a hammer to tap the socket wrench but am worried about stripping. Any tips?

9/32 socket = 7mm

Thanks so much! 🙏🏻☺️

If you're going to make a how to video then I suggest providing people with the most essential information like the size of the wrench you need for the oil plug. Come on man

Car went over the ramps went to fast what now

Im mad i just paid my uncle 25 bucks to do this.

Disposable gloves...

I love the Fusion, but, what a useless design. Wasted plastic. I’ve never had an issue with any car’s oil components scraping the ground or being damaged. I know it looks clean, but, is so wasteful.

After adding the 5 quarts of new oil what was your oil level after you lowered the car? Or did you have to add oil after adding the 5 quarts? I ask because the oil change place charges me for 6 quarts of oil for my 2012 Fusion SE with the 4 cylinder engine w-auto transmission.
