I own it, not the bank. Been retired 14 yrs, that after working, traveling in the oil patch since 1973. Will have own it 3 yrs come this October. And 9,2xx miles so far. I worry the gas gonna go stale! 😝

No evidence of that. No.

My truck XLT AWD, 4K tow. I tried to avoid it when I was looking but no choice. Really wanted FWD only. Noe learning Ford gonna do new XLT FWD. And a plus is better injection system than what I have now, the DI stuff. However I own the truck now, not the bank. So prob keep it. Not driven much...

I also want to point to my wife Escape 1.5 EB samples reveals similar results…low viscosity. 62k mikes on engine. Use Motorcraft blend lube.

I’m not surprised of this BStone report. Why? Your viscosity is low. And BStone hinted of shearing. No fuel in the oil. And flash point. They seem to indicate typical for this engine. And that of full synthetic oils!

When i go to dealer for service, I ask service writers “Are your techs certified. 😝 On couple of occasions, after vehicles serviced, spotted some error.

Manual has instructions of how to shutoff that seat belt chime. After several attempts per manual instruction for drivers seat belt, no dice. Came to here to learn more, made adjustment to procedure finally got some success. Now for passengers side, nothing works, the procedure failing. So got...

I did same…worked an auto repair garage, helps pay for my college tuition. Even tho have all the tools, I don’t do oil change anymore. I would create a EPA mess if I did these days! 😆 My 3 sons watched me, learned from me and they do their own oil changes. The good n bad news is they use my...

79 yo. EB owner. Sound in mind and member. Not a old fart. A fool for PM on anything mechanical.

I watch others filling their vehicles at a pump. Seen them click, hand pumping with gasoline pouring out the tank filler. Mistake. Could put raw gas into the vapor collection can, and that could thrown a CEL light up.

Prob is. Wife’s 2017 Escape w 1.5 EB has nearly 60k miles. Other thsn normal maintenance of oil/filter, seems to be doing ok. This engine reported has head/block gasket issues, where coolant leaks causing misfires. So far coolant level ok. She can roll.

Truck will be 3 yo in October, and currently 99,xxx miles. Not driven Much. So prob could see 20-25k in next 3 years? And intake valves may live ok. Truck always garaged, meticulously maintained, oil change at 5k with full synthetic. I own it…not the bank. So I’m gonna let it roll.

Oh you said it! Catfish n hushpuppies. Yummy.

Sample analysis reveals no fuel dilution evidence. In all cases of multiple samples.

I used Motorcraft blend and full syn. I would use blend oil, but oil sample analysis reveals low viscosity. Does not meet the oils viscosity ranges, specifications . After some reviews, decided to try Quaker State brand. Its full syn viscosity range slightly higher than the MC variety’s. But...

No offense, but I’m amazed some still not use a funnel. Just make sure it’s cleaned well.

Mine about the same. Not doing much highway traveling, mostly local short drives. And probably the transmission not going into higher gear.

Read the Ford Protect warranty again. Buy it and it starts the day you brought the truck, not time you purchase it. Not getting 11 years. It’s 8 yrs, inclusive of factory original warranty. As I see it an owner is getting 5 yrs worth of Ford Protect plan.

I do too. Long ago, brought a Chevy truck. The factory OEM tires leaked. Switched them all out to Good Year. Solved that problem!
