Why the worry about turbos? Decades ago I agree that a turbo charged gasoline engine was troublesome. Parts and equipment has gotten better. Any modern turbocharged engine has been designed from the block up to handle forced induction from a turbo charger. The days are over of simply slapping a...

I probably just use a quality 5W-20 oil. My choice of oil is usually Castrol Edge or Mobil 1 Truck & SUV oil. I don't see a need for me ever be necessary that I must have a OW-30 oil. 5W-30 will do fine for me.

A 5W-30 oil will work fine for me. I coming from another Ford vehicle where 5W-20 is the spec oil. I use a full synthetic oil. I've been using OW-20 pretty much since vehicle was new. Ford allows OE-20 or 5W-20. Similar spec works for FORD engines using 5W-30 oil. Ford allows 5W-30 or a OW-30...

I am soon going to take possession of a new Lincoln with a 2.0 l EcoBoost. There is a similar thread about using 0w30 for an EcoBoost engine. It doesn't really answer the question of what choices? Pennzoil, Castrol, Mobil1 ESP, other brands make quality OW-30 oils. Almost all are marketed for...

Old thread, I like this oil. Why does the Mobil 1 ESP not have ASE support? I don't this oil having any North American automakers blessing. No Chrysler specs. No Ford specs No GM specs No Dexos specs. I agree I think very good oil. I have come to find just about anything that carries the...

It's a major undertaking. Remove oil pan, remove fuel injectors, high pressure fuel pump, coil packs remove belts and hoses remove valve covers. Use special tool lock the camshafts. Remove accessory belt, remove crank pulley, remove tensioner, remove engine front cover. I'm sure I missed a...

Both the 1.0L and 1.5L EcoBoost engines use a bathed in oil timing belt. The 1.0L has a history of problems with little bits of rubber clogging the oil pump sump strainer eventually leading to oil starvation. Not sure if the 1.5L suffers the same fate. I to was curious what a high mileage oil...

Makes me feel better knowing it's probably fine. I do look under the hood routinely after any service. I've found rags and and ratchet laying under the hood before. This was the first time ever that I caught it thatl the drain plug hadn't been tightened. Usually it's the opposite. Usually so...

You know one thing I went to the dealership for today and I think they did get that right is I wanted a tire rotation Last time I changed the oil it did not get done. I had a slight shimmy and I thought it was the tire They rotated them around and that shimmy is gone. At least they got that...

I'm absolutely meticulous with maintenance. I do nuclear powerplant maintenance. Always torquing every nut and bolt. Traveling for work it's hard to service my own vehicle at times. I dont drive an expensive vehicle because I drive way above average miles. I just want it serviced property and...

From the time I left the dealership and got home it was about a half hour drive because I made another stop. checking the dipstick here in the driveway I don't see foaming or anything. I guess I'll check it again tomorrow when I return home from work.

It's about a half inch up above the full mark. Which is probably about exactly half a quart. I think on the dipstick the range between high and low mark is 8/10 of a quart. and you are right I didn't see them so who knows what oil they actually put in it.

Charged me $97 for a Ford works oil change because I went above and beyond and choose full synthetic oil.

Okay I travel travel with my job and today I got service out of town at Ford dealership I've never been to. Mad as a hornet! First thing is first. My vehicle specs 5W-20 oil as an alternative I can use 0W-20 oil. I requested to the dealership that I wanted 0W-20 full synthetic. No problem. They...

Me either. I'm moving forward with making plans to meet dealership and purchase.

So multiple dealerships have been helpful. The Carfax history on this vehicle reports that it's been serviced and repaired and routine maintenance performed at a Lincoln dealership in Jacksonville Florida. I reached out to the dealership in Jacksonville. I told him I was interested in purchasing...

It's an oddity. It's a MKC FWD Reserve. Reserve is top of line trim. Is loaded with options. Has tech package. Has lane keep assist and stuff. Has the active park assist. Has the premium 19" wheels. Light cappuccino interior. It's also has the factory Class 2 trailer tow package with 2" receiver...

Small world. This Lincoln MKC was originally sold in St Augustine Florida. Spent life in Jacksonville Florida where was serviced. It is currently setting on a lot at a Lincoln dealership in Atlanta where it's been with dealership for awhile.

One more thing. With CPO warranty I would have bumper to bumper warranty until July 2024 or until a total 100,000mi. So still 16 months of warranty.

Yeah, thinking the same. I know there are shady dealers out there but the fact that a an Acura dealership was willing to try to resell on their on lot and Lincoln dealership now is trying to sell it a CPO seems like it was indeed a minor repair. I dont see a reputable dealership wanting to sell...
