Damn! Thanks guys, appreciate the replies. @Builder, what sort of numbers do you see? I am interested in learning the typical temps during operation; this will determine which oil I use.

Is there a readout available for oil temp in the hybrid?

The Fram PH3600 series, which is very common size, fits perfectly. It also crosses to carquest Pemium 85516, which you should be able to find at Advance Auto on sale if you live in the western states. I bought a stack for around $7; that is a really good filter for the price. The fram FL-1...

Hate to be a naysayer in this conversation, but I would suggest you find a different oil. The low viscosity combined with an apparent low fuel dilution tells me the oil has sheared enough to bring the value down to around a 20 weight. Your iron is still around 2ppm/1000 miles, not enough to...

I think some folks here just like to bitch and complain. Difficult to compare a brand new design/manufacture auto with teething problems to other cars which have been out for years if not decades. My '23 has had 3 software recalls, performed in my driveway by dealer, in 15 minutes. There is a...

Has anyone successfully changed/sampled the oil in the hybrid? I bought an amsoil sample pump but the #$%* hose won't fit in the dipsticktube. I wanted to change the oil with the mityvac pump I have, but its tube also won't fit. I suppose a 3/16" hose might go down, but that is a small hose...

In addition to those folks who think its best not to overfill, INMHO there really is no reason to do so. Trying to get a mileage result from one tank refuelling is just mental masturbation. Of course this is just an opinion, so take it for what its worth. But on the other hand being...

I wonder if the washer is in a different location between hybrid and Ecoboost. I didn't have any trouble with anything when I installed mine.

While you are right in the "crud" department, think about transmissions and how many manufacturers were making "lifetime" transmissions with no dipstick or drain plug. So most people don't really trust what they say, part of the requirements from the Dept of Energy involves maintenance. My...

LOL, you guys with aftermarket Rhino linings don't have the spiffy logo😁(y)

ITs not a question how much the engineers know. The EPA is pressuring climate change BS on everybody and everything. Some folks say well the hybrid engine doesn't get used all of the time so mileage doesn't reflect the little use. And that is exactly the problem; all engines will pass some...

You have mentioned this several times, saying that Kirkland 0W-20 is GF5. Others have shown that is an old bottle; it has been GF6 for some time.

This is getting silly. The Magnusson-Moss act (a federal law) is pretty clear that manufacturers cannot play games with product warranties. If a consumer follows the guidelines set out by the manufacturer, and there is case law regarding this; the manufacturer will have to prove that the...

IF anyone out there is still interested, the Peak with the yellow label is not only compatible, it is Approved by Ford, with the same spec. Ford WSS-M97B57-A2

This is an awesome U-Tube video to watch "AVOID the ONE MISTAKE Almost EVERYONE Makes With A Brand New Car" This fellow, Lake Speed Jr., is a certified tribologist, or oil/lubrication expert. For those who a: believe the factories still use "breakin oil" and b: who believe the factory change...

RIght on! IF you want to see examples of the BS service intervals from the various factories, just look at all the "lifetime" warranties on trannies. Most of them don't even have a dipstick. If you let a transmission go to 100K without service, well, you're begging trouble. Most non-factory...

The older escapes used a H35, not the same as this one.
