Hybrids are really hard on engines - you tube video

My mobile service tech lives about 15 miles north of my house which is 24 miles north of dealership. Once when he called to let me know he was headed my way he said it would take him about 1hr&15minutes to arrive as he was leaving a town north of my house on a mainly 75mph route. Once he called and said he was running about 30 minutes later than the start of his arrival window as he had diversion call to jump start a vehicle (he did not say Maverick ). He drives an escape. The dealership also has at least one gigantic mobile service truck/van that occasionally will be parked in front of dealership probably to advertise availability. Dang thing would probably cost over 100k plus tools, etc.

Only certain dealerships meet the qualifications set by Ford to offer mobile service. I think they have to have enough volume to make it worthwhile. In most cases Ford reimburses the dealer 1/2 hour extra to do a mobile repair. And obviously only certain repairs qualify for it.

It appears to me that mobil service is a separate business at my dealership as well as Quick Lane as well as "full service". (When I asked once for something the quick lane counter said they would ask for service tech to check it). Also if you ask for mobil service whether on the phone or in service you see a particular service rep who staggers lunch with the mobile service manager.

I average 46 MPG not towing.
I tow 3000 lbs 10% to 20% of my miles.
Commutes are 50% city 50% highway.

Two separate oil fills.

The 10K used and 15k used oils are nearly identical.

TBN is Total Base Number and indicates additives remaining.

Plain Mobil 1 used both times. Not Hybrid specific. Hybrid formula I may try going to 20,000 miles.

~ 1.8 ppm/1000 mi for metal wear--EXCELLENT!
