    Best oil for a hybrid?

    Not many. About 8,000. It is only used as a “Town Car” 😂. Home Depot runs, runs to the dump and a fishing vehicle. It is better to transport smelly fish in a truck bed instead of an SUV. Ask me how I know. I was fortunate to get this one at the Ford “A” plan (after fighting with the...

    Best oil for a hybrid?

    I too, have a ‘22 Ford Maverick Hybrid. Also, use Mobil 1 0W20EP. I put 210,000 miles on a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Same engine, same oil. In your Corsair, you have the same 2.5L Hybrid engine as we have. However, your Corsair’s curb weight is a good 700-800 lbs more than our vehicles. I would...

    Question about oil change intervals 2011 Ford fusion hybrid 2.5l 4cyl

    I don’t think you have any issues of concern. NYC taxis routinely put 500,000 miles on that 2.5L Mazda derived engine in the Ford Escape, in bumper to bumper driving. If you can break that engine (with regular maintenance), you are a BAD man. You need to be a Ford test track driver, because Ford...

    My 2023 Ford Maverick still hasn’t arrived at dealer.

    This purchase was worth the money spent to me. The only caveat I have for prospective buyers is to resist (and run away) from any greedy Ford dealership trying trying to pad their pockets with exorbitant additional MSRP fees. Some have added as much as an additional $10,000. Like the previous...

    Hypothetically, who makes a good 5w-20 for a modern, non-turbo engine?

    Alright, let me try not to lose some of you who know what I am saying, but just want to argue anyway. If you look at a chart that is what is commonly referred as a 20wt motor oil there is a viscosity range it can fall under. Minimum 5.6cst@100C up to a maximum of 9.3 cst@100C. Anytime upwards of...

    Hypothetically, who makes a good 5w-20 for a modern, non-turbo engine?

    I don’t believe a lot of the above responses were very good answers to this hypothetical question. A whole lot of pontification and word salad and very little choices and reasons going on here today. If you come from the belief that some of the better 5W20 motor oils you can use, are actually...

    2021 Ford Escape Hybrid - Motorcraft 0/20 FS - 8355 Miles

    Nice looking results. The thing that confuses me a bit is that the Motorcraft website shows only FULL Synthetic for its 0W20 viscosity, not semi or blend, on the label. A) Was the blend eliminated? B) or is it just one product with a name change to full synthetic? (I believe Delvac 1300 did...

    Using Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W20: Any Additional Advantages in my Application?

    Of course not. The words “save money” were nowhere on my mind or lips. My objective and question went straight over your head. I wished to exercise my options, regarding available 0W20 motor oils that may be robust enough to go BEYOND the stated Ford specifications. Nearly every over the...

    Using Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W20: Any Additional Advantages in my Application?

    If Using Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W20 in a Non Euro (Hybrid) gasoline vehicle whereby the manufacturer recommends a 0W20 motor oil. Is there ANY reason to run this motor oil, instead of the more common: A) Mobil 1 0W20EP B) Mobil 1 AFE 0W20 or C) Mobil 1 Hybrid 0W20 or D) Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 0W20? I am...

    Pennzoil Q&A – General Motor Oil and Maintenance Topics

    Not a question, but a request Sean: I would like to see a more functional difference between your flagship Pennzoil Ultra Platinum lineup and your Pennzoil Platinum oils. To me, (and many others on this forum), the difference between the two products is subtle in formulation. Your Pennzoil...

    Any one have knowledge about a 2012 Fusion?

    My OCI was typically in the 5,000-6,000 mile range. Could have very easily run it out to 10,000 with Mobil 1 EP. 5,000 mile intervals are easy to remember and notice. Full disclosure, my Fusion had the 2.5L HYBRID engine. Consequently, it wasn’t always running in a gasoline mode, even though...

    Any one have knowledge about a 2012 Fusion?

    I repeat everyone else’s comments. The engine is bulletproof. Ford’s best 4 cylinder. Previous owner had to really do something stupid to kill it. Mine had higher odometer miles than most. 205,000 before trading it in to CarMax. Car was reliable and still going strong at trade in time. I used...

    Mobil 1 has (mostly) improved the HTFS viscosity and VII content with API SP

    Hey Gokhan, Something about the current Mobil 1 0W20 EP (GF-6, Dexos 1 GEN 3, API SP, Triple Action Product) makes me think it a downgrade as compared to it’s “majority PAO” predecessor. Flashpoint is now reduced to 222C as compared to 235C for 5W20 EP. Pour Point is now -45C as compared to...

    One year/10,600 mile review of my 2022 Ford Maverick Hybrid

    My comments mirror what has already been stated. I have owned a ‘22 Lariat Hybrid for about 14 months. Optional Hot pepper 🌶️ Red color appears orange in direct sunlight and red in the overcast or shade. My mpg is averaging mid 40’s in mostly city driving, sometimes over 50, depending on...

    22 ford maverick hybrid mpg readout

    I took a look at the display of my ‘22 Maverick Lariat Hybrid. Current overall mpg reading of 44.4 (or as the late Moses Malone called it “Fo, Fo, Fo 😂) on 60% city driving. I too, have seen mpg reading of upper 50’s - low 60’s after short city runs. An acquaintance of mine with the same...

    New at Walmart Pennzoil Full Synthetic High Mileage and Mobil 1 Hybrid 0W20

    According to what ExxonMobil technical spokesperson told me, the Hybrid oil is supposed to be a 15,000 mile “guaranteed” oil. It is positioned in between the 10,000 mile AFE and the 20,000 mile EP oil. It was not supposed to hit the market until after May, but Walmart released it early. My...

    Car plunges 250 ft off Devils Slide off Pacific Coast Hwy

    97prism is calling this a Model 3, not a Model S or Y. I don’t know, I don’t have a Tesla. If my memory is correct, wasn’t the Tesla Model S the one that reportedly broke the IIHS roof strength testing equipment?

    Car plunges 250 ft off Devils Slide off Pacific Coast Hwy

    I was trying to figure out which model Tesla this was model 3 or Y. I couldn’t tell. Anyway, I am glad everyone survived.
