Missed appt. window. 5% OLM left...

[hardcore302]

OLM is at 5 percent. Earliest appointment at Ford for the 22 Explorer 2.3 Turbo is in late September. It's a lease, but I might wind up buying it out. So now I get to choose my own oil and filter and ask you guys about it! Changing myself. Will be buying at a local AutoZone or AdvanceAP. Whaddya think for oil and filter? Thank you so much!

A dealer is 30 days out for an oil change?

No local Ford dealers with one of these? https://www.quicklane.com/en-us/

Just go to an independent shop

I'll take Automotive Dichotomy for $200, Alex.

I take it to 0% and I pay attention to what oil I use.

If you want to keep it as similar as before, can’t go wrong with Motorcraft products.

I take mine to 0% and longer. I wouldn't ever worry, just drive it till the appointment. One little stunt like that does nothing, and i assume it's included in the lease. After the lease an SP rated euro 40 grade like m1 or quaker state is what I'd use.

Any Ford Dealer I have ever been to has a "Quick Lane" or equivalent for oil changes.

Mobil 1 EP in whatever the viscosity called for on the oil cap is.

Fram Tough Guard or Ultra filter.

I'd recommend Walmart for both to save yourself $10 on the oil alone.

No Jiffy lubes or Valvoline oil change places in your neck of the woods?

 

[ctechbob]

The 2.3 should take about 6 qts of oil, unless it has some wildly different oil pan to my Ranger. The Havoline 6qt box of Lifelong 5w30 from Walmart gets my vote. If for nothing else than ease of use.

 

[Lubener]

Do it yourself and save the receipts.

Quick Lane

Or Motorcraft/Motorcraft.

Just me but if I were potentially keeping an Eco I would not use the OLM and would use whatever quality synthetic oil you want with a solid filter and look to 5k OCI's. I do like the ECO's a lot and if I were getting a new F150 I would likely go 2.7 Eco. Wondering if you'd share your engine hours/idle hours. Might be interesting since you are on LI.

 

[doublebase]

Wait a second, you have almost 3,000 posts and you don’t change your own oil?? I’m kidding.

Persoanlly I’d just go to my local Walmart, buy your filter there, and pick up some Mobil1 (or Valvoline, Castrol, QS, Pennzoil, ST). They have every thing you need right there, and you can’t beat their prices.

LOL I wanted an OIC yesterday because it was nice I just did it. Of course, I realize I'm only 79. I have to admit I'm the kind of guy that waits for no man or beast!

I've followed the OLM on two of my other cars and they are/were running strong at 90K. I just figured we would have some fun.

9k miles. Barely any idling. Mostly highway. My wife's car.

Yes, but I find them to be more expensive. I have a place that will charge a cool 20 if I bring them the oil and filter.
