    After 5+ years MetalSlug is going back using motorcraft oil filter on my Ford vehicles only.

    I have two Ford vehicles. For the F-150, I can use the Motor craft filter. It uses a cartridge and I can see whether it's quality or not. Generally, I just buy whatever brand is readily available. The Escape uses the FL-910s size filter. It gets nothing but the Premium Guard made filters.

    New-ish Maytag washing machine from 2018 is already dead

    Do you use liquid fabric softener? If so, stop. It's a waxy substance that can clog your washing machine. Instead, use white vinegar. It works pretty good as a fabric softener and keeps your washer clean.

    Our 2025 Escape ST Line is nothing like what the OP described. The transmission works fine. We are averaging 33 mpg. It merges onto highways just fine. I would say performance is equal to our former VW Tiguan. My major gripe is the OEM Michelin Primacy tires

    Quality replacement refrigerator?

    I will be adding an ice maker. The rotary controls is one of my main reasons for choosing a large top freezer model. Touch type controllers will go bad and cost a lot to fix. Through the door ice and water are great features of side by sides. However, these are other areas of failure.
