Ford Maverick oil type and capacity
The Ford Maverick oil type depends on the powertrain: the 2.5L hybrid takes SAE 0W-20 (Ford spec WSS-M2C962-A1), and the 2.0L EcoBoost takes SAE 5W-30 (WSS-M2C961-A1). The hybrid holds 5.7 quarts with the filter. The 2.0L holds 5.5 quarts in the 2022 manual, but the 2025 manual lists 5.77 liters (about 6.1 quarts), so check your year.

Two engines, two oils
Don’t mix them up at a quick-lube shop. The hybrid’s 0W-20 is thinner when cold than 5W-30, and Ford names a separate spec for it. The EcoBoost is turbocharged and gets the 5W-30. Both grades are printed on the oil filler cap.
The first number (0W or 5W) is how the oil flows at a cold start; the second (20 or 30) is its thickness when the engine is hot.
Why the 2.0L capacity changed
The 2022 manual lists 5.5 quarts for the 2.0L EcoBoost. The 2025 manual, which we read in its Spanish U.S. edition, lists 5.77 liters, a bit more than 6 quarts. We haven’t confirmed 2023 and 2024 from a manual, so the table leaves their capacity blank. Pour in a little less than the listed amount, run the engine, and top up to the full mark on the dipstick.
Synthetic or conventional?
Ford asks for oil that meets its spec, not for synthetic by name. Synthetic, blend, or conventional, look for the right grade and the Ford spec on the label.
How often to change Maverick oil
The Maverick uses the Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor: change oil when it asks, and at least once a year or every 10,000 miles. Ford says the hybrid may go past 10,000 miles on the monitor. On dusty or unpaved roads, the 2022 manual calls for oil every 5,000 miles or 6 months. More in how often to change oil and oil change due.
