To you. I have only used premium in my cars for the last 20 years. There is a reason one has 300,000 miles amd the other 250,000. Both in original engine and Trans. Regular maintenance is the key. Oil changes every 3000 miles.Personally a one second difference in a 0-60 time would not justify paying more money to get to the same destination. Can you even tell the difference in one second?
No. Just superstition and/or luck.To you. I have only used premium in my cars for the last 20 years. There is a reason one has 300,000 miles amd the other 250,000. Both in original engine and Trans. Regular maintenance is the key. Oil changes every 3000 miles.
Yes lol.No. Just superstition and/or luck.
It works both ways.
My 2005 Hybrid Escape:
15,000 mile OCI
Never changed trans fluid ever.
Ford advertised the hybrid trans was sealed and the lube was lifetime and I trusted them.
Never changed the coolant. Ever. And it never lost coolant. It too was sealed. Never got hot enough to boil.
Never changed brake fluid. Brakes worked fine for 15 years so why change it? Water in fluid is why you change it. When brakes get hot, water boils. Hybrid brakes never get hot enough to boil water. Brake pads last 200,000 miles. 85 octane (Colorado) most of the miles. Else 87 octane for the rest. Used E25, E30, E40, E50, E70 and once, E85.All ran well except E85. I called my baby a "Tribrid". 3 fuels capable. Gas, Electricity, and Ethanol.
Changed spark plugs once at 100,000 miles b/c it was cheap and easy to do. It didn't really need it.
Towed 3,000 pounds 25,000 miles cumulative over the years.
Was running great on original everything except tires, brake pads, and oil at 235,000 miles when it was rear ended by a careless driver in 2019 otherwise I'm sure I'd still be driving it today. Very reliable. Not a dime of trouble. MPG same at 235,000 miles as when new. And not very different than the Maverick. I was getting 35-36 MPG highway and up to (best case) 54 MPG city.... in a 2005 Hybrid Escape.
Changing fluids frequently won't hurt anything. It makes logical sense it could make things last longer. But there's sadly no proof it really does. Of course not checking fluids and running low or dry is a sure fire way to ruin things.
Enjoy your Maverick! I like mine a bunch!
I do not like your post above.
You did not know that "mid-grade" does not exist so it never goes "stale".
They only ship regular and premium.
They only store regular and premium.
When you select "mid grade" it pumps half & half into your tank.
