17,000 miles on engine. Had been letting dealership do it. Free oil changes ended. I’m doing them now. This was yesterday.

I’m don’t want to be a doom and gloomer. The 2.0 T edge for a couple of years has a block design problem. 2017-2019 is what I remember. The head gasket will leak into the cylinders. The only fix is to put a new block in it. Ford has been swapping them out for this issue . I believe now at no...

It’s not a dog. Accelerates fine. But it is not a turbo direct injected fast 4 banger either. But not having a turbo direct injected engine is why I bought it.

I own both these engines. 2019 F150 3.3 n/a Dual injection ( direct & multiport ) and 2023 Honda HRV 2.0 n/a port fuel injection with no start stop bs. Neither are power monsters . And they aren’t rocket ships. But in todays modern engines , they are slipping into the old school engine’s...

It has the 6 speed. I have no complaints with the engine or transmission shift points. I can pull 24-26 mpg if I let it roll at 65 mph. It’s flat land where I live and drive mostly. It’s not the engine for everyone. I’m not hauling or towing heavy loads. Mulch and a washer/ drier type stuff. 3.3...

They had that in 2018. A plastic oil pan also. I believe. Mine (2019) they changed back to a steel or at least metal oil pan with a normal steel plug. This is on the 3.3 n/a engine.

Free oil changes are over. 3 years worth. F150 3.3. I bought PP 5W20 and a Fram ultra guard oil filter. The washer on my drain plug , is it the kind I change out every time ? Or a metal/ rubber coated style. Had that on my thunderbird. If I should replace it , where’s the go to place to get...

I forgot to add. The 2023 Honda HRV has no stop start bs. So they’re tried and true 2.0 N/A multi port fuel injection engine. CVT I think 159 hp. The engine in today’s market is considered old school imo. It moves well enough. But not fast like the normal modern 4 bangers. I got one for the SOLE...

Can only talk about what I owned. Honda's been great. Have had three in the family with cvt's. 2012 & 2017 civic with 100'000 / 70,000 on them. Changed oil at 25,000 miles. Now the 2023 honda HRV is based on the civic platform. It has the tried and true 2.0 liter N/A port fuel injection. It is...

When I removed the factory fill and had it in a white bucket , it did have the ever so slightly blue tint. I mean so light I had to pour it out and then pour clean water in bucket to look again. It did have a tiniest tint. So light you can’t see it. But it froze in my house freezer. So I swapped...

Yes in my freezer ….. it froze.

I had a suction pump and got it out. Bought a gallon of the standard all season blue from Oreilly auto parts. -20. I wasn’t taking it 60 miles for them to do it. Look I know what ya are saying about tasting it. I put less than a drop on my tongue. Taste buds said nothing. Spit it out and swished...

New vehicle last night . Checking fluids this morning. The windshield wiper reservoir fluid is clear as water. Might be ??!! I put a sample in freezer. I tasted it. Tasted like water. A drop on my tongue. Rinsed my mouth with clean water. Is it supposed to be clear ?? I realize they put a dye in...

I just got this ultra at Walmart this week for my f150.

I have a 2019 2.0 ecoboost. Recommended oil is 5w30. Can’t speak for yours. I use Motorcraft filter.

Motorcraft fl500s. Got some points to use at Ford dealership . I have a 2019 f150 3.3 Put 5000 a year on it. So once a year OCI normally. Getting some free fl500s and sitting them on the shelf for a couple of years should be ok ? Might throw in a couple air filters also. I figure no issues. Not...

Well I’ll have 2 year’s maintenance deal with my new car purchase. 2023 HRV. So I guess that’s two oil changes. I’ll probably go to mobile one Advance 0w20 when it’s my turn with a Honda filter. OCI will be 1 year or 5000 miles. Wife’s ride. She’s retired. Grocery and a few trips vehicle. Cheers...

The mystery goes on.

I had this happen to a Toyota 23R. I discovered it by doing a timing chain replacement at 110000 . It would have a mild rattle at start up. What happened was the oil chain tensioner was slow. A piece of the chain guide broke off and wound up at the valve springs. Chewed it up. I swapped...

Glad to see this post. Have a Honda 2.0 n/a on the way.
