The FPP-89 is an upgrade and filters down to a smaller micron range for not a ton more.

It does restrict airflow by just a bit more but not super noticeable. I noticed I no longer smell diesel exhaust at all with it and...
They come around 45-50 psi from the factory because they are strapped down to a train for several weeks and it helps prevent flat spotting.
The 35 psi Ford recommends will be the best combo of ride comfort, mpg, stopping distance, and wear pattern.
The stamped max tire sidewall pressure is for...
I have noticed this as well. My thinking is the Atkinson engine returns much better MPG the hotter it is, so cooling it down while off would impact MPGs negatively.
Ford coolant WSS-M97B57-A2 is good to 265° F, so no worries on 210°-215° F. The 0W-20 oil is good >400° F.
The only actual part is a $400 retail RADAR module, $50 wiring harness, and a $50 switch. Guessing it costs Ford about $150 to add ACC and lane centering at their costs (maximum).
It seems to use fuel through the engine as a proxy for oil wear, plus time (at almost exactly one year to the day, mine went from 1% to 0%).
No reason to change at anything but 0% except for peace of mind.
That is because there is a secondary timer built into the OLM that adheres to the...
I did a bunch of testing and found leaving the key inside did not effect battery drain in any appreciable manner.

"Todd" was full of crap.
Ford covers the CV axles under their 5/60k powertrain warranty IIRC so those of us with pre-redesigned axles should be able to get them replaced for free anyways as most of them fail in the 20k-30k range.
Solid deal but just keep in mind in two years when the lease ends, there won't be anymore EV credits and chances are they will be producing even less of them than today.
That being said, in two-three years it might make a lot of sense to purchase an EV coming off lease that's been returned, as...
Yes, the Ford Duratec 2.5l is a fantastic motor (knocks on wood, lol). It's part of the reason I bought the hybrid and not the ecoboost, which is still a good motor but not as dead reliable and easy to maintain (ie turbos) as the 2.5.
Those wear numbers are very low for that many miles and type of driving you do (especially towing 3k on the '22 hybrid). <2 / 1000 miles is very, very good.
M1 is good oil. Like you, I used it on my wife's Prius for many years however it's lead to oil sticking up the rings and starting to cause...
It's the 3rd gens with the issues not the 2nd gen. 2nd gen was basically bulletproof.
No idea what causing the HG failures, many theories but one of the most prominent is the fact that the water pump is electric and on the 2010-2012's they don't throw a code if the impeller detaches and the RPM...
FWIW the pour point of Motorcraft 0W20 oil is -58°F. General rule of thumb is another +20°F on top of that, so -38°F, oil will protect your engine without issue.
At 120°F, your oil will absolutely flow and have zero issues with protecting your engine on every restart.
I am coming up on one year since my last oil change. Roughly 5,000 miles since last year, 8,500 on the clock on my 2023.
I'm at 5% oil life. A few days ago I did a 400 mile highway round-trip and oil life didn't even drop 1%.
There are obviously several components here - cycles on the motor...
For anyone with a lariat and ACC, does it aggressively brake while in traffic when a vehicle pops out in front of you? Even in slippery mode the braking is intense, and then if that vehicle moves across the lane and into another quickly afterwards the Maverick will almost floor it to regain its...
I have no idea what shielded or twisted wire is but I used 18awg GXL automotive wire and haven't had an issue in a year of use, in all sorts of temps (25-105 F) and several thousand miles of use.
IIRC either the OP or someone early on used ethernet wire (CATV) and had issues with disconnections...
