I was looking at the 1999 Ford Escort Owner Guide ( for North America ) It shows that Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid is used as the power steering fluid So , the answer would be ( Yes )
According to the 1999 Ford Escort owners manual : ( 5W-30 engine oil is used in the 2.0 liter SOHC engine ) and also the 2.0 liter DOHC , Zetec engine
Yes , the 2.0 litre Single Over Head Cam and the 2.0 litre Dual Over Head Cam four cylinder engines used in a 1999 Ford Escort are both fuel injected

Salvage yard or Ford dealer.
Yes , according to the Gates website ( they make timing belts etc. ) both the SOHC and DOHC 2.0 liter engines used in the 1999 Ford Escort are interference engines EDIT -- the DOHC engine used in the escort zx2 is a non-interference engine. The Gates website and any other which mention the zx2 as an interference engine are wrong
the headlights used on the 1998-2003 ZX2 are all interchangeable. The only differences in the headlights are those used in 1998 as they were slightly different in appearance. Other than that, there are no differences in fitment from 1998-2003
They are the same engine if the 5th digit of the VIN is the same. ************ It is illegal to install an older engine in a newer car, period, and the engines used in the Escort and Focus are not bolt-in swaps anyway.
A 1995 Escort wagon takes either 10-30 or 10-40 weight oil. The lower weight oil should be used in the winter to prevent the oil from gumming up the engine.
You can get a new one at the dealers for $135 or you can get one at the boneyard (salvage) for about $20.
