Take it to a professional and have the valve lash adjusted. Also replace the spark plugs.
The air filter on a Ford Escort ZX2 is changed by opening the latches on the air handler box and lifting up the top cover. The old filter can then be removed and a new filter put in place.
The ticking sound is coming from the valve lifters. When the oil filter is changed, air is introduced into the system, which causes air bubbles to form in the oil. This causes the valve lifters to "leak down", which is what causes the ticking sound. It can take several days for the bubbles to dissipate. It's annoying, but harmless.
Depends on engine displacement, but usually 4 or 5 quarts (including when the filter is changed).
If the ticking is coming from the top of the engine it is likely the Hydraulic (valve) Lash Adjusters.A fresh oil change using a quality oil and ***an OEM filter from the dealership*** should clear the noise up within 15 minutes of driving.Use of a non-OEM filter can cause valve train ticking noise.
check your transmission fluid. if it is not low, when is the last time you changed your filter.
It has no cabin air filter.

I have a 95 escort , 1.9 liter engine . The car runs fine, goes in reverse fine and into first fine, BUT will not shift into second. I changed the fluid and filter. There were no shavings on the magnets or in the bottom of the pan. The fluid was clean and did not smell burnt.
Changed the pcv valve. It fixed my p171 code on my 2001 escort. Have to get the PVC valve from the ford place. They are the only one that carry the right one. PCV valve is available at AutoZone part # PCV 1001 for 2001 Escort SOHC 2.0L
