I have always followed the owners manual and have never had an engine failure either. Motor oils of today are amazing compared to the good ol' days.

Just FYI, Flooded cell and AGM have different charge voltages. I double checked mine with Forscan and it is set to AGM and 80% charge. If I had a problem I would change it, but I don't. This site says AGM's are best kept kept charged to at least 50%. I have always read any lead acid battery...

Anyone ever try one of these? There are a few others on Ebay too...

At those extreme low temps I would use full synthetic for sure. And a 0-30 is the way to go. There is no doubt that a full syn will flow better than a blend at those low temps.

The type of guy you are (tech savvy), I'm surprised you haven't used Forscan the set your charge rate to 90% or so.... Just FYI, Forscan shows my truck to be set to 80% charge and an AGM battery. I have not had any notifications sense my dealer alarm was disconnected, so I have not changed it

I don't know if the tech can see all that, I kind of doubt it. That is A LOT of data for Ford to store on their servers for how ever many days/weeks/months. I can tell you they kept my truck overnight for 3 days to find the draw from the alarm.

If you do take it in disconnect your dashcam and amps. They will blame it on them for sure. Problem is even when disconnected they will still likely blame them. I guess tell the service writer you disconnected them and it did not help the problem. I had the same problem and it was a dealer...

Does that include dinner and a movie first?

yes

I have the Lariat and it doesn't do that. There are settings for door locks, I'm pretty sure I've seen them but never have changed them.

nope, just drive it.

Did this get rid of the annoying pop-up too? Do you recall the module and setting you used?

I got it to work after about 5 tries.

So, in a nutshell, service mode simply retracts the pistons all the way and most likely prevents any input like hitting the brake or park brake switch from doing anything? I've done rear brakes on a Lexus with elect park brakes and the way to do it is remove the actuator and turn the pin to...

interesting. I guess it could be the system trying harder to charge the battery because it's sulfated? It would be interesting to compare the module's battery settings with my 2023 hybrid's.

That is not a battery related recall though...

Yes, lead-acid batteries last longest when at 100%. I don't get why they do this.

mine too. Coincidence? I think not.

It was set on AGM, I didn't mess with it.
