I just did it and only managed to get in .85-.9 of the quart. My theory is that there are some casting depressions that hold oil that doesn’t escape through the drain plug. It’s possible that you tilting it forward corrected that, but then the fill being tilted forward also gives more room...
I average 26.5 (on pretty much every tank) which is probably unheard of for a Tremor, but that's a 60/40 highway/city split. In the city I take off like a grandma to stay out of boost and it really keeps the average up lmao
I did my RDU at 14,950 today and honestly the fluid that came out was pretty pristine looking. Only a little bit of sludge on the magnet. I know the twin clutch dana units are different but they seem to wear better than the standard one. We'll see when I do it again at 45k. I plan to do the PTU...
Seems like it depends on the conditions and how long you wait and idle before driving off, when I leave my complex there’s enough speed bumps and low speed driving that I don’t notice it at all once I get to the main road. When I leave my campus I get right up to 50mph straight out of the...
Does anyone else have this? If I let the truck sit for like 5 ish hours and then pull off, the first acceleration event or two is super unsmooth, it's like you can feel the throttle closing and reopening repeatedly. Doesn't seem to have anything to do with the trans trying to shift, its just...
The pinch weld can too, it’s reinforced the entire length of the car. I just use a hockey puck for a softened connection and microfibers on jack stands.
I've wondered why there's so much variance with this. I don't consider my XLT to be loud on the highway at all, but some people say these are horrible. I wonder if it's mostly a tire thing?
I found this out but then felt bad because the lowest point isn't really obvious, I kept pumping and then the handle just kind of deflects around the ratchet with a bad noise and made me worry I broke something (luckily it did not lol)
I guess freezing isn’t the right term, but it does reduce the amount of heat available to the refrigerant and thus changes the pressure differential in the system which can cause various components to have to work harder. I’m no hvac technician though. I know the system tries to maintain the set...
I’ve noticed if I leave mine on level one long enough it will bump itself up randomly for a while. I assume it’s to keep the evaporator from freezing since the truck is built around an industrial AC unit
Honestly, this is as good a time as ever to increase your interval. I've been a 5000 miles change guy my whole life, but I have yet to see any good evidence why 7500 isn't a perfectly fine interval with modern oil quality, even in a dirty engine like the ecoboost unless you have horrible driving...
I think they have to conform to the manufacturer maintenance schedule for warranty compliance, so the oil has to at least meet the Ford spec. I personally wouldn’t worry about it
