Hey everybody! I'm looking into getting a 2013-2014 Ford SVT Raptor. Probably will be around 100-120,000 miles will be my target area. My life situation has changed and work situation. Wife and I have been kicking around getting a truck and I have always wanted to get Raptor. I'm looking at...

Got the fluid changed out. I ended up using mobil1 75w-90. There is not that much fluid in these transfer cases. The change was very easy and quick to do. I attached pictures of the fill and drain plugs, just in case for anyone in the future since I couldn’t find pictures anywhere.

Thanks guys! I did finally find in the ford pass app in the manuals, only the revised one from 2019 (not the 18 or revised 20) has in the capacities section a 75W-85 gear oil. But does not say what it is for and there is no mention of transfer case anywhere. I finally found some pictures of...

I’ve got a 2018 Ecosport 2.0L with a little over 60,000 miles. Bought it used at 60,000. I’m going to be doing an ATF exchange and brake flush. But I wanted to change out the transfer case fluid as well, but I can’t find any information on what type of fluid or even where the drain and fill...

2018 Mazda CX-5 - Changed the oil (Mobil1 0W-20 HM and Mazda Oil Filter), did an ATF drain and fill, changed the cabin and engine air filter

So the dynamic lines, that move on the reverse camera when you turn the wheel, doesn't always show up on the screen, only every once in a while. What would be causing that?

Will put that one on my list, thanks

We did get it at a Ford dealer but they hadn’t even had a chance to clean it when we got it. I’ll have my brother check for recalls. Good idea on the serpentine belt.

Just traded in the wife's old Escape on a Ecosport. Looking for any advice on maintenance schedule or items to look out for. Here's the details: 2018 Ford Ecosport SES 2.0L - 4WD 60,000 miles Has new tires and brakes, and fresh oil change Will use 5W-20 and motorcraft filter every 5,000 miles...

27.9 mpg average over about 70,000 on 2018 Mazda CX-5 AWD

Nope I actually drive like a grandpa most of the time. Every once in awhile I’ll drive a little spirited on some rural paved back roads for some fun but it’s still not like I’m driving really fast. I coast most of the time to a stop. Just had my brakes checked at 65,000 miles and they said I...

I usually replace at the wear bars or very close to them when wet traction is starts to disappear. Currently have all season Nitto tires on my mazda now, rated at 65000 miles. I am at 34,000 miles on them and I’m almost to the wear bars. I’m planning on replacing them at the end of...

I live in Ohio, many curves and hills, gravel roads. No matter what brand of tires I usually average around 35,000 miles for a set of tires. Best I ever got was close to 40,000. And I wouldn‘t say I’m a spirited driver either, I’m pretty layed back. I do 5000 mile rotations. And this was on 3...

Well I did some more research and I’m going to try this out: https://www.springtimeinc.com/product/bug-off-garlic-dogs/Natural-Dog-Supplements It’s the granuals. Started it this morning. Just put a little sprinkle on his food this morning. Will just do a little for each meal and build him up to...

Yeah that’s why I tried it and wanted to use it but as I stated in an above message, he ended up having seizures with the Seresto collar on.
