Im guessing you could stop at any auto parts store and they could plug the code reader in and reset it pretty easily, most should do this for free

Guessing would be wrong as a code reader will not reset the maintenance minder. The instructions for resetting it are in the owner's manual. If you still need help stop by your local Ford dealership's service department and I am pretty sure they will show you how to do it.

HOW TO RESET THE OIL LIFE ON A 2012 – 2014 FORD ESCAPE: To turn off the Oil Service Light on Ford Escape, conform to the following instructions: Turn off the ignition Close all doors. Turn the ignition key to position II, If your Escape has push-button start, press and hold the ” Start” for two seconds without touching the brake pedal. Next, simultaneously press the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal and hold for a minimum of 20 seconds, until a “Service: Oil reset in prog.” message shows on the instrument cluster display. Continue holding the gas and brake pedals until the display says “Service: Oil reset complete”. The oil change reminder indicator will turn off. This confirms that the reset procedure has been correctly completed.
