I like to change my own oil. Has anyone observed or asked a Ford rep about the ability to access the oil filter? On the Ranger I have heard that one of the front wheel well liners must be partially removed in order to access the oil filter. I hope that this is not true on the Maverick.

I was hoping for a top access filter.

My wife’s Fusion 2.0L EB has the oil filter on the bottom near the oil pan rail and I believe the mount is cast into the block.

My escape hybrid 2.5 liter has the oil filter on the bottom next to the oil pan.I believe the maverick has the same engine.

I found one video and this appears to be true. That's OK though.

One of the videos shows a cover plate under the engine which must be removed for oil filter filter access. I guess this is good and bad. Good because the engine stays cleaner😊 and bad because it is a little more difficult and time consuming to access.

Here's a great video that shows the steps for changing the oil in the Maverick FX4.

Thanks Primrose I posted the information but did not copy the link, if you saw mine and you posted link thank you. I change my own oil, I hope the Hybrid will be easier, it should as I have changed the oil in the CMax, no problems.

Hmmm someone besides me that thinks an early oil dump makes sense

I understand the DIY for the oil changes but.... With the Ford Pass app I got with the truck you get three free safety and maint, checks that include oil changes. I figure let them do the first few before I take over, and also save some $$.

Oh definitely. If you have that then you might as well take advantage of it. Have you used one of them yet?

Not yet on the Mav,. Also had them on my F150 used them for that one.
