Amen.

Yes , I know but extremely often at idle or just above idle the engine "rattles a lot ( very noticeable on Subaru). Unpleasant sound for a mechanic, with 5/20 the noise disappears. I believe that 0/20 even if it works is just too thin. It was developed to improve fuel mileage by reducing...

Very hot or very cold, little in the middle. I do not know why you think the 5/20 is for very hot climate. I have been a mechanic 50 years or so of my life and I spent my time mostly reading or watching mechanical videos, books or documentaries. I have strong reservation with 0 viscosity oil. 5...

The oil was one of the very first full synthetic ( interestingly enough Motul was a USA company which went bankrupt was bought be a French company in the early 1900 and now is very successful especially in motorsports). Demonstration is the lubricating film quality.

So yesterday I got my 'free" ( at first they wanted to charge me) oil change. 2 things: I asked them to use 5/20W full synthetic instead of 0/20 Blend. They still used a Motorcraft blend but 5/20. Again they forgot to reset the oil monitor, so I did it and I shall also use my trip counter to...

In France in the 1960 Motul ( I believe)had a famous commercial where they took a Citroen DS 19 drained the oil, left the plug out and drove it all the way from Paris to Marseille. Another famous commercial was when they drove a similar car on 3 wheels instead of 4, all the way from Paris to...

I have problems with mine too but different. Even withe engine "started" it will not turn to get in gear, it is blocked in the park position. Sometime I have to turn the engine and and off several times before I can rotate the knob. I got my Maverick DEC 27 2025

Good morning to you all. Did any body ever managed to display the OBDII scanner readings on the Sync$ display permanently? If yes, how to do that? Thank you.

I read nothing about a cold beer after a job well done. You are a poet

I called the dealer, in fact my oil change was in July. I go over the day after tomorrow for a free oil change

I just called the dealer: I have an appointment the day after tomorrow for a free oil change.

Even if I had a lift, I do not have the roof clearance. I wish I could

I could reset the oil monitor, I know how to do it but then I have no idea where I start. It would much better to bite the bullet, have an oil change and then reset the monitor ( I want to use 5/20 or 5/30 anyway). My last oil change was around February. The manual say to change the oil every...

This is what I used to do ( I use to do all my maintenance and mechanical work). I am now 76 and too old to crawl under my cars. I have someone else do it.

You are correct

"4th or 5th oil change" that is abut every 30 or 40 000 miles. It seems at tad too excessive for me. Thank you John.

Might be practical but it sure does not help the look

I changed my oil for the first time at around 2500 miles. I got it serviced at the Ford dealer. They put a sticker in saying to change the oil again at 7500 miles. I have now about 5500 miles and the oil monitor tell me that my oil life is 15%. That is only 3000 miles! What's going on?

" 100% is 10,000 miles " how do you know that? I believe the oil life is more that just mileage Thank you

I have a 2025 XLT Hybrid Maverick also. I believe that my lights look different
