The oil specifications for the Ford Maverick Hybrid are requirements, not mere recommendations. Using non-compliant oil in the 2.5L hybrid engine can lead to poor performance, cold-start issues, and potential warranty complications. To keep your engine protected, the oil must meet the following...

That is incorrect. You can use other brands of oil or filter, but only if they match the required specifications. The specifications are not recommendations, they are requirements to maintain the warranty.

You're reading that incorrectly. It recommends Motorcraft oil and filter. It requires the use of 0W20 full-synthetic oil (other brands can be used, but only if they meet the specifications listed).

Quality properly prepared sushi is healthier for people than canned tuna.

Does this mean they disapprove of the snake oil salesmen like Amsoil?

Like you said, coming to sudden stops uses almost none of the regenerative braking and relies almost exclusively on the physical brakes which will wear them down prematurely. It is the regerative part of regenerative braking that puts the charge back in the hybrid's HV battery.

When Gemini comes up just tell it to "send a text to Pat". It will check and confirm "which" Pat (if you have more than one Pat in your contacts). Then Gemini will ask what you want to say in your message. Once you have said what you want in the message it will ask if you are ready to send it...

The 2023 printed owner's manual in the glove box says that 10,000 miles is the MAXIMUM interval for an oil change UNLESS the vehicle is driven in conditions considered SEVERE USE. In severe use it says the interval should be a maximum of 5,000 miles. It then lists a number of conditions that...

Yes, almost exclusively. It is the most fuel efficient mode. Ever wonder why it is called "Economy" mode?

Likewise, while keeping this on topic, regarding vehicles and road maintenance, I think that electric vehicles are getting a free ride and there should be a way to get them to pay their fair share of road maintenance that the rest of us using gasoline and diesel are paying for. And by the way...

SALES TAX: In rural Utah, the average combined sales tax is roughly 6.10% to 6.35%. This is slightly lower than the statewide average of 7.42%, as many rural areas skip the higher local mass transit or resort taxes found in major cities. A breakdown of the local and state factors: Base State...

Good gravy! If your screen name is reflective of your state it must be Virginia. Our state does not charge any personal property tax at all on vehicles and our counties cannot charge any fee. What is your state doing with all that money? Despite not bilking it's residents like your state, our...

Glad ours doesn't do that. They do charge more, as they should, for completely electric vehicles (i.e. Tesla and E-Mustangs, etc.) since they use the roads and wear down the asphalt but don't pay any state gasoline taxes. In the metropolitan area in northern Utah, they used to let a hybrid...

Why would a state charge more for a hybrid? What state are you in? Utah doesn't do that. Our annual registration on our vehicles is very reasonable. Our 2023 Lariat w/Lux hybrid FWD was $297 back in November. Our 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 long bed truck was $130.50 last summer and our...

The B&O is much more than just adequate. It rivals the similar high-end Bose audio system we had in a previous Cadillac DTS we owned. Both are excellently implemented audio systems.

Ewe spelled hear rong. :ROFLMAO:

If he secretly tries to swap his crummy old XLT with her awesome fully loaded brand new Lariat (with the sliding power rear window no less), I don't think he needs to know what the difference between "Lariat" and "Laramie" is. Once she finds out about the bait and switch, I think she would...

The Maverick tail The Maverick tailgate weighs all of 45 lbs. Hardly necessary.

Home Depot has a thick black mat on sale really inexpensively right now that will fit perfectly in the bed and give you the protection you are looking for

Never do a transmission "flush". Just a drain and fill. The suspension parts are raw metal. It is normal for them to develop surface rust. Have you not ever seen a 30 year old undercarriage of any Ford truck or Bronco? It absolutely has no effect on the structural integrity of the suspension...
