Parts for your 2018 Ford Escape-Manifold gasket

2018 Ford Escape manifold gasket — what’s fitted and how to look after it

Technical sources agree a manifold gasket is relevant on the 2018 Ford Escape. The Ford Workshop Manual (2018 Escape/Kuga, Engine 303-01 sections for 2.5L Duratec, 1.5L GTDI and 2.0L GTDI) specifies replacing the intake manifold gasket whenever the intake is removed, and the Ford service parts catalogue lists intake manifold gaskets for all engines. Those same sources note the EcoBoost engines (1.5L/2.0L) have the exhaust manifold integrated into the cylinder head, so there’s no separate exhaust-manifold gasket on those variants
