We had 2 Ford C-Maxes, a 2015 SEL, and 2016 Energi plug-in.
I used to drive the Energi 16 miles round-trip to work on just electric. After a week or so I received a pop-up message that I should run the gas engine to circulate the oil, coolant, fuel etc.
Both were easier to get in and out for...
For us, an EV would be okay for the trips we make to Portland, Auburn, Augusta, etc., but the hybrid makes it so much easier to go longer. In our recent trip to Maryland to see our son and family we made our usual overnight stop in Fishkill, NY with a fill-up, and another fill-up at the same...
Yes.
$247.94 plus tax for the battery, $92.26 for labor.
With 41,000 miles the old battery was not covered under 3/36000, but at least the points will go toward the next oil change.
It's listed as BXT*99RT4*A on the invoice.
Went to the dealer with the Battery Saver problem today (since Christmas it's become more frequent). They did tests on the original battery...it failed the Rotunda test, and indicated replacement was needed.
New battery was installed, I believe it is the AGM type, 36 month replacement warranty...

Anyone planning to attend the 45th Annual Founders Day at the Hamlin Library and Museum in Paris this Saturday?
45th Annual Founders Day & Classic Car Exhibit
Will have to wait to see if the changes will grow on me (but not like a fungus).
Not going to run to the dealer tomorrow and place an order...
And I wonder if the front license plate will fit between the upper and lower grilles?
Most states still require front and rear plates.
And here I thought I was one of the few who have sent samples to Blackstone.
When I had my oil changed last December, I asked the service manager for a sample of the oil. He looked at me funny, and asked why. I said I wanted to get a baseline sample for the truck, that I have done this on other...
We received a "Customer Satisfaction Program 22B39" notice in the mail concerning the battery cables. I have an appointment scheduled for the 25th.
We also received a second "under hood fire" recall recently which stated that parts wouldn't be available until October. We had the holes drilled...
