  1. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    According the Ford Maverick the first fluid change for the eCVT is 150k miles, unless under “special operating conditions” (see page 442 of owners manual) than it is 30k intervals. Ford recommends change eCVT transmission oil from 30k to 150k. Quiet a big difference! It is like saying change...
  2. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    i used cheap oil catch can https://www.amazon.com/muge-racing-Universal-Reservoir-Breather/dp/B08LN4GHLP/ here is the link . I will take pictures next weekend (my mav is upstate NY)
  3. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    Adding Grease between the rims is a good thing. i had my older f150 brake cylinder failed because of corrosion at the cylinder spindles. good thing! thank you!
  4. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    I respectfully disagree regarding NOT to install oil catch can. Oil Catch can is a cheap insurance . an hour of work and $30. in my maverick hybrid in about 400 miles i collected about 10 ml (milliliters ) of sludge (yellow water with oil). otherwise, it would go to the piston via airflow sensor...
  5. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    Regarding eCVT transmission: Manual says 150k with normal use or 30k if extreme use. I plan to do first transmission oil change at 30k and following at 100k. at 30k i will send it in for analysis. it doesn't take much time to change trans oil. cost about $100
  6. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    Thank you, I am familiar with Blackstone Labs but I have never send oil to analyzes. agree with magnetic plug. do you know what magnetic plug size is there? what would be your suggestion on eCVT oil change? every 30k?
  7. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    Some clarification and math on oil change. Below is the reasoning why i chose to change oil based on hours vs miles driven. 1. let's assume my driving speed is averaging 60 mpg. Therefore, i can drive 6000 miles in 100 hours. 2. Second assumption: let's assume my driving speed is averaging 30...
  8. New software update?

    I have two mavericks one was updated to ver2. another cannot pull update. stock at G1.9.0.1 SAME wifi same internet connection. one is updating another is not. both of them connect and check version. version 2 works faster. more smooth. Question! Anyone have done an update via USB drive ? there...

    i actually had to google the difference. do you want to say that Sequential Mass Fuel Injection will have cleaner burn, less carbon buildup ?
  10. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    That's big difference "29.7 with E-10 fuel & 2.6 with no ethanol gas." in next few weeks i will test my MPG on e-10. now i am using non-ethanol since it is only 30 cents more than e10.
  11. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    interesting, I was always under impression that ethanol is causing carbon build-up in direct injection engines. with my mileage i would spend extra $80 per year on none-ethanol fuel. i will do more research on none-ethanol gasoline
  12. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    Valid argument. do you think it worth to use ethanol free gasoline vs ethanol e10 or e15 if you would not consider price difference 30 cents per gal. ? My objective is to reach most longevity and reliability. if i use non-ethanol fuel in small engines i can start it at any time of the year even...
  13. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    yes. bringing to dealership with oil catch can void warranty. I noticed about 10ml of water and oil after 400 miles of city/highway driving. i think oil catch works so far for my situation in hybrid.
  14. New York Sold: SOLD - For Sale - Maverick XL Hybrid

    For Sale - 2022 Ford Maverick XL Hybrid - 4 days old 39 miles. I am asking $33,400 OBO. It has no modification. Odometer is 39 miles. (miles from dealer to my home).
  15. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    I was under impression that E-15 does more carbon build-up to valves then E-10. Ethanol and oil is the main the cause of carbon build-up. My gas station sells ethanol free gasoline that I always trying to put in my tank. it is about 30 cents more.
  16. When are you doing your first Hybrid oil change?

    I changed my first oil at 200 miles - glad I did. it was full of metal sparking particles. Main reason why i change is that I don't like the fact that ford is putting small oil filter and semi-synthetic oil blend vs. full synthetic oil and full size filter. After initial oil change sequential...
  17. Longevity, or First thing TO-DO when received new Maverick!

    I received my 2.5 Hybrid. I plan to keep my Maverick for 10+ years. first thing I have done to prolong longevity of my Mav: I changed my first oil at 200 miles - glad I did. it was full of metal sparking particles. Main reason why i change is that I don't like the fact that ford is putting...
  18. Oil Change Mystery!

    I would check dipstick length to make sure it is correct length. In my case i did oil change by myself and added 5.7 quarts of oil - that was right amount of oil. (hybrid model) I changed my first oil at 200 miles - glad I did. it was full of metal sparking particles. Main reason why i change is...
