No,
Per your owners manual (pg 314); In case you dont have a copy, I'm including a link below to see it or download it free online from Lincoln.
(Note 2)
"Use of synthetic or synthetic blend motor oil is not mandatory. Engine oil need only meet the requirements of Ford specification WSS-M2C930-A and the API Certification mark".
Reg or synthetic, its about the same price if you do it yourself (motorcraft 5w20 synthetic is less than $15 for a 5qt jug at Walmart). If you have it done at the dealership remember to ask for the "works fuel saver package" and you get the oil & filter changed, tires rotated, fluids topped off, and the Ford/Lincoln multi-point inspection, etc for $29 plus taxes. (Not endorsing, just telling you how to save a few bucks if you go this route. If I do it myself its about $20, if they do it and its about $12 more and they rotate the tires, top off fluids etc.)
Some are, some are not. The Prius is a hybrid only model, but other model Toyota's come in hybrid and non-hybrid configurations.
Yes, there is a hybrid model of this car.
They still make a synthetic stock for a model 700
yes, Honda aims to manufacture new models of Hybrid cars every year. The most famous hybrid model is the Hybrid Honda Civic which is very fuel efficient and reliable.
The Accord hybrid was available to consumers in model years 2005 through 2007. The Accord hybrid was its own trim model but retained most of the features of the EX.
Currently Volvo doesn't carry a hybrid gas model in the U.S. Over the summer it was announced that a plug in gas model hybrid will become available in the U.S. in 2013.

Most people assume hybrid cars only come in the typical small and compact size sedan model such as the Toyota Prius. But over the last few years, hybrid vehicles have been created for almost any make and model possible. Hybrid SUV's have been created such as the Ford Escape Hybrid, Hybrid Coupes have been created such as the Smartcar, and even Hybrid Pickups have been made such as the Chevrolet Silverado.

Yes, the Ford Escape comes in both regular and hybrid models. Although the hybrid model will generally cost more in the price tag, it will save you more money over the years in gas costs alone.
