Do oil changes. That in and of itself will do more for your engine than the flavor.
I've been using Mobil 1 synthetic forever but any 0w-20 oil will be ok for the hybrid.

As might have been noted, the only consensus on the best oil is that there isn't any consensus.
Rather, there are just varying numbers of individuals who happen to agree on a particular brand and formulation and disagree with groups of other individuals who have differently held opinions.

motocraft FL-400S or equivalent is a higher capacity filter with same micron filtration and bypass pressure specs.
The PG241EX filters were like $4.25 each on rockauto when I bought them in bulk with some other filters and windshield wipers. The OE Motorcraft filters made by Wix / MH are good filters, but if you dig into this Premium Guard company a bit, the filters they are making are actually really impressive units for the money.

I’ve read many articles and suggestions on Maverick preferred oil. I have a 2024 Hybrid and would like to know what is the suggested oil from this group. Thanking y’all in advance.

I generally stick with Penzoil Ultra Plat 5-30 and a ford filter.

This is my recipe too.
learned my lesson on over maintaining vehicles long age( a little better then factory recommends is fine) never got it back on trade or resell,just cost a lot of time and money,one salesman said you can write anything in the logbook.

I use this because me and my Maverick have cholesterol issues.

I change it every 500 miles and save it for cooking. Adds minerals to the food. :ROFLMAO:
