  2. Oil for 2026 Maverick Hybrid

    Since in TX I wouldn't worry about the 0w part BUT like others have said its probably a cheaper oil.
  3. If they can do it, you can do it.

  5. Quit believing these 12 oil change myths....🤔🛢️⚙️

    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...
  6. Quit believing these 12 oil change myths....🤔🛢️⚙️

    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...
  7. Quit believing these 12 oil change myths....🤔🛢️⚙️

    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...
  8. Quit believing these 12 oil change myths....🤔🛢️⚙️

    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...
  9. Quit believing these 12 oil change myths....🤔🛢️⚙️

    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...
  10. Quit believing these 12 oil change myths....🤔🛢️⚙️

    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...

  14. Hybrid Brake Fluid Change Procedure questions

    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...
  15. Hybrid Brake Fluid Change Procedure questions

    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.
  16. Hybrid Brake Fluid Change Procedure questions

    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.

  18. Why hybrid owners regret their choice...⚡🪫⛽

    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.
