We all have opinions, The fact that oil it collected was not blasted into the turbo/intercooler/head/valves is a plus IMO. Being my engine is DI only and no fuel sees the back of the valves I will take whatever I can get to extend life of the engine.

I installed a duel valve catch can on my explorer @300 miles. Checked it @1k and this is what it looked like. It has been pretty cold in Colorado over the last few weeks. Not a hint of water. idk.

Just traded in a 16 explorer limited for a 22 ST. Only fords I have ever owned. The limited was in good shape but just hit 80k miles and the dreaded water pump and PTU issues made me dislike it. So far so good. The 20+ explorers had some issues but seemed to be ironed out now. Most of the...

Had the oil changed at 1k today, blend 5w30 from the dealer. Will use my last free change at 5k. After that will figure out what i'm using.

Sorry just noticed this reply, I would guess its due to fuel dilution.

Correct, DI only that runs a miller cycle? Most of my driving is a 10min idle warm up and then a 20min highway drive to work. 6x days a week. I did already install a UPR duel valve catch can at around 400 miles.

The 2019 had the 3.5, different platform. Yes it has a IOLM, from everything I have read says do not go past 5kish regardless of the OLM. These engines are DI only and known for fuel dilution.

2022 Explorer ST 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo EB Almost at 1k miles and looking to do my first oil change, I have only found a few UOA's from this engine online. Everyone of them seemed to show a decent amount of oil shear and all the 5w-30s where down to 5w-20 by 4-5k miles. My goal is to run for 1y/5k...

Being MSRP with everything I wanted was like 62k... I did spring for the extended warranty. 6yr/75k miles. I will hit the 6 year mark way before I hit 75k miles.

Thanks everyone! And yes, they panic and slow down or switch lanes asap. Depending on them it either speeds up or slows down my drive to work.

Picked this up about 2 months ago, figured I would put some miles on it before I posted. So far the ST has been great, tons of power and no issues. MPG is better than my old 3.5 duratech. Highway onramps have become a huge joy in my life. Small quirks I have noticed... The A piler will...

Appears the filter is a cartridge in a plastic housing. Boy times have changed.

I have had good luck with it in the past. Not being brand loyal. I have learned threw the years engines like what they like and sometimes that's not always the best. My older honda's burned M1 like crazy.

Just picked up a 22 Explorer ST. This is my first new vehicle and I am wondering about oil changes/break in. So far I have about 200 miles on her and am wondering when I should have the first oil change done. I have 4x free oil changes from the dealer but no idea if they will give me issues on...

I'm running LTR6IX11 in my transverse Duratech. Have been great. They do only have a 50k mile life time though. Did not see any lasers that would fit mine (16 explorer). Next time I will go with Ruthenium.

I have been using 4x stands like the OP posted for 10+ years now. Never had an issue but might look into something else now. Really want to get some ramps but they all seem to have bad reviews now.

I run Z36 along with Centric premium rotors on my explorer, no towing but they stop well.

I "donated" aka sold my plasma for awhile. They do some tests with a finger prick prior to each donation. I got sick of getting turned away every other time due to my levels, and the huge needle started to leave scars so I quit. between me and the wife going twice a week, was an extra $700 a month.

The torque wrenches are pretty nice, SO knock offs. I bought all 3 sizes with a 20% off coupon out the door for 150ish awhile back
