Finally got to drive it.

RE: Oil change - there are many posts about when, etc.

If this is your first hybrid vehicle, I just want to point out there is hybrid-specific engine oil.

Notice as you drive around town that the temp guage for the ICE seldom gets up to "normal" 4 bar range and it varies between two and four even as you drive.

The downside is the ICE doesn't burn off the moisture that creates sludge in the oil.

Hybrid-specific oil has extra additives that counter this. I have used Mobil-1 hybrid specific since our first hybrid - my wife's 2011 Prius, and now in my '24 Mav hybrid.

Buy the Motorcraft 910S oil filter and a jug +1 qt oil and your Mav will take 6 qts.

Many happy miles as you get to know your hybrid Mav and use of the reg braking.

I will probably just take it to the dealer and request Motorcraft 910s and the oil.

Hey guys had a broken foot so cojldnt even test drive my maverick. Took a 200 mile 5hr trip with little to no stops. Mainly highway miles. But didn't think this was terrible. First time driving a maverick on a 2024 xl hybrid. What do you all think?

That seems close to average will probably get better if you use the "pulse and glide" method on the highway to allow more electric miles. A two to three seconds delay is usually enough to allow electric operation only even on the highway for a mile give or take.

Funny thing is after I filled it up. I drove 120 miles Mostly highway and I was averaging 39+ mpg

I just purchased a 24 XLT Hybrid 2.5 Maverick. I noticed when I was researching it that it had better city MPG than highway. After finding out the reason for this I knew this was the truck for me. I drive average 100 miles per day 5 days a week. The gas mileage I'm getting just amaZes me.
