  1. Fun Fact: Valvoline Instant Oil Change won’t change the Mavericks oil

    I took mine to a Classic Lube Express here in Oregon. I brought the Fram Ultra filter and Amsoil 5w-30 to them. They didn't have it in their system but I just said its 5-1/2 quarts, here is the stuff and told them about the skid plate. They got it all done without issue here.
  2. Have you changed your oil yet? Oil life monitor question.

    Yeah I might be interested in doing that to check it out for curiosity sake and see what the actual run rate of oil life realistically is. I think the biggest thing I've come to understand with the more frequent changes is like Timmy mentioned above. The fuel dilution in the oil is the main...
  3. Have you changed your oil yet? Oil life monitor question.

    I'm running the Amsoil 5w-30 signature full synthetic with the FRAM Ultra filter after I changed the factory oil/filter at 2,200 miles. I'll pull this oil change in 4-5k miles depending how I drive and inspect then. From what I've researched and gathered from others, on the turbo, it's best not...

  5. Snow days for the Maverick

    I was mistaken... slippery mode is available as a standard mode for all vehicles.*** FX4 just adds mud/ruts, sand and takes away the Eco/Sport.
  6. Ram truck died and I can't wait 4 months for a new Maverick

    I had my truck stolen which put me in a similar situation as you... what I did... Use www.cars.com and filter for Ford Maverick 2022 xlt trim (can filter color as well), then sort by newest listing... Refresh that page every day or a couple times a day and call/check in with the dealers. Most...
  7. Opinions wanted: Dealership registration/Tax quandary

    Appreciate the responses from everyone. Will see if what they come back with, and again at the end of the day I know I only want to put so much effort into dealing with this vs. the time/cost it takes out of other activities.
  8. Opinions wanted: Dealership registration/Tax quandary

    This is my thoughts exactly... the service they used to calculate these fees mentioned in the fine print below (these fees are estimates, etc. only blah blah.... "Dealership is required to pay any fee over estimate")... I highlighted this in my email response as it seems pretty silly. They...
  9. Opinions wanted: Dealership registration/Tax quandary

    I'm asking the group here their opinion on this matter and to check myself if I am being overly critical on the dealership I purchased my Maverick from. Quick notes: Purchased Ford Maverick XLT from a cancelled special order in Virginia Live in Oregon Got an Out the Door price agreed upon and...
  10. Ford Maverick AC/ Heat Temp potential issue

    I range from 66-69 F on low Auto for my happy temp. I also keep the house the same temperature or roughly in that range so it's consistent. Seems to work fine for me without feeling like a sauna. I also don't go into the truck with 4 layers on either during winter :).
  11. Oil change schedule / interval? Synthetic oil?

    I don't know if they are stainless steel or not, I actually took the truck to a shop and had them do it with me watching/in vehicle. But I didn't get underneath (sub floor) to inspect that part. I do know all the bolts had threadlocker on and the mechanics had to use some muscle to get...
  12. Oil change schedule / interval? Synthetic oil?

    I changed my first oil here yesterday at 2,200 miles. Switched over to the FRAM Ultra filter and the Amsoil 5w-30 Synthetic signature series... going to run this combo for the life of the truck.
  13. Need some insight... is FX4 package really worth it for me?

    Yeah, I get losing eco and sport mode but the normal mode on this truck has quite a bit of pep if I am honest haha. I was cruising I5 from California/Oregon over mountain passes at 74mph on cruise up the pass and the truck didn’t even hit above 2k rpm’s. It can move if you want it to. Eco mode...
  14. Need some insight... is FX4 package really worth it for me?

    I enjoy the FX4 package myself, the wheels by themselves were worth it for me, add in the rear suspension that uses independent multi-link trailing arm setup with monotube shocks that include hydraulic rebound stops and the additional add ons it was a bargain for me. I don't plan on heavy...
  15. Any Maverick owners with NO problems / issues so far?

    Have had mine for about a month with 2,500 miles. While I'm technically in the spray in bedliner recall build window, have not had any issues other than the infotainment screen freezing once during start up. That was just a quick reboot/turn off & on truck to remedy that. Absolutely great...
  16. Maverick Fuel Tank Official Recall : 5,456 Units w/ Spray-In Bedliner Affected

    Yeah that is what I was afraid of... technically I fall into that category, will see if the letter shows up in Jan/Feb or update through the website. I see the drain holes I assume at the front of the Spray In Bed liner behind the front cabin.... looks like 11 holes across the front, I'm...
  17. Maverick Fuel Tank Official Recall : 5,456 Units w/ Spray-In Bedliner Affected

    Just curious, if you put your VIN into the Ford Recall system does it pop up? I had mine built 10/05, yet nothing shows up (spray in bed liner/xlt, etc.) I have filled it many times with no obvious fuel leak but still cautious.
  18. Real world fuel mileage MPG results by 2.0 EcoBoost owners - check in here

    I just did 1,600 miles up and down Oregon/California through mountain passes etc. I averaged 29-31mpg (4 fuel ups overall) with a full truck (3 passengers, luggage/presents etc.). I was 99% freeway at 72-74mph on cruise with the occasional off cruise. Had some big mountain passes as well, but...
  19. Oil filter for 2.0?

    Anyone going to use the Fram Ultra XG3614? Ordered one up, have an oil change coming up and will give this a go. Curious if anyone else is using anything other than the Motocraft
  20. Snow days for the Maverick

    Just did 800 miles today from California up to Portland through I5 with several hours of snowstorm and slushy/ice conditions. Handled the roads absolutely fine in normal mode/slippery mode while going up and down the passes 4-5,000ft. Running the stock Pirelli scorpion tires, FX4
