So - I'm getting quite tired of dealers using non-OEM fluids. I had a brake fluid flush done today at a Ford Quick Lane, and specifically asked for Motorcraft fluid (the owner's manual calls for "Motorcraft® DOT 4 LV High Performance Brake Fluid") Of course, when I got home and looked at the...

Evidently, as both are on Quaker State's website. They appear to have the same benefits, except All Mileage has two checks under "Protects against wear" and High Mileage has one. https://www.quakerstate.com/en_us/products/blends-and-conventional-motor-oils/quaker-state-high-mileage.html...

I decided to get my 2013 Fusion's oil changed at a Quaker State quick lube place. They didn't carry the Quaker State "All Mileage" oil that seemed like a good middle-ground, so I opted instead for QS High Mileage (I'm not sure that it was worth the $30 premium over regular Quaker State) . They...

Thanks for the info! I might attempt this next time around. I found a transmission shop that recommended a drain and fill, so I'm going to go ahead with that (they said that flushing is "bad for the transmission". Seems like everyone has their own strongly held opinions on this stuff) Since a...

Unfortunately, mine does not have a dipstick. The drain and refill procedure involves filling until fluid seeps out of a window (I'm sure this window has a name, but not sure what it is). Sounds too messy and complicated 🙂

That's what I thought when I had it done last time at a dealer, and when I picked it up I found out that they used BG fluid 🤦Havent had any issues with it, though.

My understanding is that these days, when people say "flush" (at least in the case of BG flushes) they actually mean fluid exchange. Is that correct? Thank you everyone for the advice, it is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone, Need some advice... My 2013 Fusion (2.5 L engine) has 137K miles on it. I ran the factory fill transmission fluid 90K miles and had it "flushed" with BG Full Synthetic (314) about three years ago. I planned to have that fluid replaced now (with 50K miles on the fluid). I've had no...

Hmmm... I usually run 7-8K mile OCIs. Not sure I'll want to go that long this time if there's not a silicone anti drainback valve.

Glad to know it's the right filter for the application. Wonder why there's a new part number and if the FL-910-S is going away.

It looks about the same size as an FL910S. To make things even more confusing, the notes on the invoice say they used an FL500.

Yes, that's what's printed on the filter. It is a spin on.

Yesterday, I got my 2013 Ford Fusion (2.5 L)'s oil changed at a dealer I had never gone to before. I noticed that instead of a Motorcraft FL910S filter, they used a Motorcraft FL2114-B12 filter (MU2Z- 6731-A) . I'm not able to find much online about this filter. Does anyone know if this filter...
