Q: How to install aux input in Ford Escape?
I have a 2005 Ford Escape with a Mach 6 disc changer in it. I am trying to figure out how to install a aux input jack without spending $70-$80 on a kit. I know you can do it with the right cables. What cables will I need and can I get them somewhere like Radio Shack? How do I go about installing it? I do have a little experience installing car stereos.

Q: Does the oil life monitor in a Ford Escape actually measure the quality of the oil?
The change oil now message is coming on in my new 2009 Ford Escape. We've got about 2000 miles on it...all country road driving where it goes 60 mph all the way there for the 40 mile drive. Does it actually mean the oil is going bad? I know the car was built last october. Could it just be that the computer says it has been six months since it was first turned on and it should be changed?
A: There's no way it can measure the quality of the oil. There's probably an internal clock that measures time. It may be combined with your odometer to determine that your oil should be changed every 6 months (or whatever time period FoMoCo determines) or xxxx miles. If you use synthetic oil, you can go as much as 2x longer in time and mileage before changing oil.
It's the car manufacturer's method of getting you into their dealership for service - and money.

Q: I need help extending range on a ford escape OEM keyless entry remote control.?
I have a 2001 Ford Escape, the transmitter has a range of about 20-30 feet most of the time. I would like to boost it by quite a bit. I would also like to know where the RKE antenna is located in the vehicle, and how to access and identify it. Thanks in advance!
A: Hold the remote up to your chin when operating it...it turns your body into an antenna for more range...not a whole lot but usually better. A geeky electronics guy might be able to modify the remote for more range or pop for an aftermarket unit that works on RF signals...1000 foot range on mine.
Q: What type of automatic transmission fluid is used for a 2003 Ford Escape and how often should it be changed?
What type of automatic transmission fluid is used for a 2003 Ford Escape and how often should it be changed?
***2002*** Ford Escape
A: This seems like your other question.
The transmission fluid is ATF fluid.
Any fluid about a dexron mercon III is fine for that car.
You can buy multi purpose fluid ATF as well which would be fine.
But, you want to know specifically what kind your car wants?
Pull, the transmission dipstick out and and read on the stick, it well tell you exactly what fluid it takes.

A: The Ford Escape (designated U204) is a compact SUV sold by the automaker Ford Motor Company beginning in the 2001 model year and priced below the Ford Explorer. The Escape was sold in Europe as the Ford Maverick. It was jointly developed with Mazda, in which Ford owns a controlling interest, and was released simultaneously with the Mazda Tribute. In the United States, Ford's Mercury division released a luxury version called the Mariner starting with the 2005 model year.
A hybrid version of the Escape was released in 2004, making it the first hybrid SUV.
The Escape is built on the Ford CD2 platform, which is in turn based on the Mazda GF platform, which was used by the Mazda 626.

Q: What are the biggest rims i can put on a ford escape?
I was going to put 22's on my ford escape 02 xlt but idk if it will rub anyone know?... Its black so i was also mayb gona put some 20's with bigger tires idk what to do anyone know
A: You could use a combination of larger diameter rims with a "low profile" tire to get the "look" you desire while keeping the same total wheel/tire diameter so it doesn't rub. You'd best go to a reputable tire/wheel dealer and ask them for a safe combination. Also read your manufacturers warranty information. A different tire/wheel setup other than what came from the factory, may effect your vehicle warranty. The wheels and tires are part of your suspension and have an effect on axles, bearings, transmission and possibly other components.

Q: What does the XLS and XLT mean on the Ford Escape?
I own a Ford Escape XLT and would like to know what the XLT means. I also would like to find out what the XLS means even though I don't own it. It is the same make and model, just a different badge.
A: The letters don't really stand for anything.
they are just 'trim' levels
XLS is a base model
XLT is a step up & gives you more standard (& optional) equipment
Limited is top of the line with more standard equipment (& availability of more options)
