Whoa, Wayne's! Not that I go there as I get E15 at Woodmans on Milwaukee most of the time and my no ethanol gas for small engines at KwikTrip on American Parkway.

No the only thing you will gain from a K&N air filter is additional large particle contamination in the combustion chamber.

Do you have climate control turned on? If you are commanding AC then the engine will stay running and not run a lot in electric mode. Have you reset trip 1 or trip 2 recently? If not what your total mileage and electric mileage? If you are not getting a lot, like 25%, electric mileage, then I...

Drive it up to Madison!

Same experience. My ex had a 2018 Forester Touring with Eyesight and I really did not care for driving with the ACC and lane keeping turned on. All the alarms were annoying and the lane keeping seems unnatural back and fourth torques on the steering wheel. I turned it off most of the time on...

Motorcraft use to make a Synthetic Blend 0w20 oil specifically for the hybrid engines. I think this was just a copy and paste error from an older manual.

But they can't. The manual clearly states to use motor oils of the recommended viscosity grade (0w20 for hybrid or 0w30 or 5w30 for turbos) that display the API Certification Mark (Starburst) for gasoline engines. I used the basic Pennzoil Synthetic black label in my truck. Perfectly fine oil.

Walmart sells Motorcraft filters as well as Motorcraft oil.

I can see the following... Driving 14 miles heats up the engine well, something that won't happen with a hybrid just sitting turned on. Take it to lunch, what do I care. The dealerships insurance is liable for any damage. After the engine is well up to temp the tech uses a hydrocarbon sniffer...

Why would you intentionally let more contamination into the combustion chamber? Do you not want the engine to last long? Use the OEM filter and replace it as recommended. Regarding the oil filter, again you will never go wrong with the Purolator made OEM Motorcraft FL-910s or the larger...

I just returned from a week long trip through WI, UP MI and MI. Left with 2270.0 miles on the clock and returned with 3387.1 miles. Filled up with 11 gallons of E15 heading out of town, topped off with more E15 the next morning and a third fill with E10 as Michigan does not carry E15. That is...

So I believe the blend suggestion is for older 2.5L hybrids like my 2015 Fusion and 2017 C-Max. Those manuals recommended WWS-MC947-B1 spec oil. This matches the 0w20 blend as well as the rev 6/18 synthetic bottle and is SN/SN+ GF-5. The 11/19 rev bottle states WSS-M2C962-A1 and meets API SP...

Yea lux package

Actually you are wrong. Ford makes a 0w20 specifically for hybrid engines and it is a 0w20 blend. My dealer has always gone in back and gotten six quarts of the stuff for my C-Max instead of using the bulk, as it is what is specked for the car. When I was looking at oil specs for the Maverick I...

Mostly highway driving so lower all electric miles. I really have not driven it much as I got my Kia Soul EV back from the shop a few weeks back and uses that for daily driving, free electricity and all that. Still, happy with the fuel economy of the truck. I'm taking it on a 1,500 mile road...

After a nice three hour drive home a few weeks back and stopping at NAPA and Walmart for a filter and oil, I parked the truck and got it up on some jacks and gave it a good drain. And I do mean a good drain, it sat for at least 30 minutes before I spun the plug back in and sprayed it down with...

Been incredibly busy but I got this delivered a few weeks ago. The dealership did not wash or otherwise prep it, it came to my driveway with the dust of Mexico. Hand washed and rinsed in the drizzle, then into the garage and a layer of Turtle Wax Ceramic + Graphene paste wax on the body. I did...

Mine shipped on 05/05/22, ordered 09/11/21. I hope to have it by the end of the month. Debating getting a ceramic coat on it or just using the Turtle Wax Ceramic Wax paste and spray. My plan was to drive it home and wash and clay it lightly, put it in the garage, up on jacks, remove the wheels...

Well my Rapid Red First Edition Lariat Luxury is on a train car. I am hoping to have it in three weeks.

I still think for $75 The Works package is not a bad price for a full inspection and tire rotation plus oil change with Motorcraft oil, I just hope the tech is being paid well for the labor. My dealership gives me the package at a 50% discount for all vehicles purchased there. Which is why my...
