Just to clarify the thread 2025 and newer have both GDI and Port injection So much talk about oil catch cans for older models . Just for others to know,. I know OP engine only has direct injection.
LOL Of course its possible Duh. BUT at what COST of TIME!! and dollars. Dumb statement,.
Many live in an apartment. No plugs near. So sure go fast charge,, Time and dollars. Or get a Mav Hybrid and NOT deal with that cost,. Right NOW EV are NOT less costly money wise plus time if you cant...
Good,,, You can learn a lot of tear downs on youtube But I worked as tech for decade so NO its not youtube only . Its youtube now. Also built many drag race engines at a race shop back a while ago. . My whole point is that MOST people who only use there OWN car as proof of a certain oil...
When you said you were an engineer it brought up memories of bad engineering designs at least for repairing vehicles in mind. That one example really irked me as there were two large wholes and could have made it so one lined up with access to the bulb. ...
But to recommend oil change times...
Yes it take dozens of engines apart. You need a large sample of various oil change times. Which YES I have disable myself BUT not anymore. I watch the latest engine design and how they fail on youtube now. And YES they can build up sludge in certain HOT parts of an engine first. I see you have...
Don't get me started on engineers. I give one example. My mother had a hyunai. 3rd brake light went out. The dealer wanted 1200 dollar to replace a 80 cent bulb. Remove entire back lid to get access. I go into trunk and see it BUT there are wholes to each side NOT one directly under where bulb...
I disagree. Until you tear the engine apart to see how dirty it really is you cant make a clear judgement. See where the oil has built up sludge .
I watch a few guys on youtube who tear part failed engines and one showed that the turbo had a small screen on the oil line and how it sludge up...
You really have to ask How many who have replied ever taken an engine apart? I bet zero. Then how many have taken apart engines that went through various oil change intervals. Again I bet NONE here. So take there opinions with HIGH skepticism.
Oil life varies with driving type too. All highway...
So you did vacuum bleed the brakes?? With just one of those Hand vacuum pumps?? Put into maintenance mode via forscan , correct? Just want to make sure what you did. After brake bleed worked correct?
Not yet I will do mine next month. I plan to use forscan and bleed like the video i posted. I of course will let others know once done. But from what I have found out so far related to an escape hybrid they used forscan .
BUT hey if there is a thread on how its done with either a vacuum bleed...
Have YOU personally done it?? If not You are guessing,.
I have read threads saying oh sure it will work and others say NO it wont. Yet in all of it I have yet to read. I DID IT and it worked. No video on youtube of a hybrid Maverick being done at least that I can find.
Many have SAID Oh do...
My understanding is that will NOT work on a hybrid maverick. Vacuum bleeder is what I used on past vehicles BUT NOT the Hybrid. It may still work on the Gas Mav.
I cant see a reason for a pressure bleeder. BUT since i have yet to do mine I cant see for certain Just amazed no one here has done a full bleed. If there no one who has done one on a hybrid yet? Guess people ignore this. BAD decision.
No idea how far vehicle in front of you who dropped cooler was away BUT another reason for dash cam. I MIGHT have caught his licence plate He would be on the hook for repairs then.
I Doubt its totaled
I did a quick read of article It was hybrid in general stating hybrid often cost 2300 to 3800 more. In 2023 it was NO extra but even now its 1000 extra I think? . I think they LUMPED in Plug in hybrids. Plug ins are NOT worth it.
Regret no!!!! had I switched to gas as at the time I wasn't...
Roof rails go from side to side . Never seen parallel ones. Best to install normal roof rails and make your parallel rails yourself for whatever reason you want rails like that.
