  1. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    I have followed your suggestion and find that you are partially correct. That is true of some brands but not universal. It is also questionable whether these "extra" detergents are of any additional benefit. Here is one websites opinion and commentary (I know that opinions vary)...
  2. Torsen-type (i.e., Quaife ATB) for the Ford Maverick AWD truck

    Torson type LSDs are elegant game changers. Built on the idea that a worm gear can drive but cant be driven. So cool. No clutches or ramps. Totally smooth.
  3. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    Show me proof. Same with your Techron comment. For over 15 years the additive package in a PARTICULAR brand's 87 Octane is EXACTLY the same package that is in their 89, 91, or 93 Octane versions. However, I stand ready to be corrected with hard evidence.
  4. Rust on / around bed tie downs

    That rust happened because the person that drilled the holes did not clean up the metal shavings from the drilling process. They also did not properly treat/paint the drilled holes. Most of what you see is tiny steel metal shavings that have rusted.
  5. When to do 1st first oil change? 2024 XLT Hybrid

    As a matter of law, you can take a 55 gallon drum of conventional oil and add a drop of synthetic and it is legally a synthetic blend. If you want a blend buy a few quarts of conventional and a few quarts of full synthetic and let 'er rip. (Don't get me started on why most "synthetic" oils...
  6. 2025 Hybrid. How do you decide when to change the oil?

    What a field day for the mods A thousand members all at odds Debating oil intervals how long Mostly saying I’m right and you are wrong Stop members; What’s That Sound; Everyone’s Popcorn; Poppin’ Loud Advertising Runs Deep Into your wallet it will creep Scaring you to change oil now Dealership...
  7. Is the Mav the best vehicle and value you have ever owned - hybrid only responses.

    I had an early Cortina for a while. Mine had the early 1600cc engine. It was FUN.
  8. Is the Mav the best vehicle and value you have ever owned - hybrid only responses.

    I like the Maverick. Mine is a 25 Lariat Hybrid AWD w/4K tow package. It is in contention to be the 2nd best vehicle I have ever owned. (My 2020 Pacifica Limited Plug in Hybrid might beat it for 2nd place.) The best by a country mile was my 1999 Chrysler 300m. Nothing else I have ever owned...

    When I go to the link I get this This does not fit 2025 Ford Maverick
  10. MPG Correction Tutorial - AFE Bias Adjustment (via Engineering Test Mode)

    I have done this a number of times and at first I thought it was working sometimes and not working other times. I later found out that it was working every time but not always displaying. So. Here are two tips. After you press and hold the OK button you need to press the start button WITHOUT...
  11. Another recall

    I can see the distraction of people saying WOW, Ford finally fixed that ugly front end.
  12. Another recall

    That 2025 front end was a HUGE improvement. The truck no longer looks like it has a bone through its nose.
  13. When does the Hybrid Maverick use electric only vs. gas only vs. both?

    Amen! All of the Weber State auto tech videos are great!
  14. Giveaway: If you could add one feature to the Maverick, what would it be?

    The OP asked for an opinion. I provided one. You felt the need to attack my opinion. Sad.\
  15. How does everyone feel about the auto start stop?

    Not a high horse. Simply a person that cares about our children's future. We control the destructive things that WE cause. Unless you have been causing volcanic eruptions they are not a part of what we can control.
  16. How does everyone feel about the auto start stop?

    It has nothing to do with your ability to pay. It is the poisoning of the earth that is the problem. Only when the last river is poisoned and the last tree is dead will we realize that we can't eat money. We do not inherit the earth from out ancestors, we borrow it from our descendants.
  17. How do I Disable auto-start crap?

    I wasn't being remotely condescending until I wrote "You are not suffering". Apologies.
  18. How do I Disable auto-start crap?

    I have no problem with you wanting it off. I simply have not heard a single reason that goes beyond preference. Preference is a perfectly justifiable reason. I was simply hoping that someone could present a concrete problem that was caused by the Auto Start Stop. No worries. Cheers.
