I can't remember the last time I have seen price spread that low between 87 and 91. It's constantly at a $1 per gallon more in all my travels. That makes it 25% more, not worth it in most cases .I will use 91 while towing if it's hot or hilly.
...sharing your data. These numbers, along with the +/- emotionally biased perception of "peppier" performance make a strong argument for the 2.0L MPC. Out west it is not uncommon to see pricey tier 1 ethanol-free premium grades. I've wondered if these preparations reduce, increase, or have no...
...Assumptions:
Complete fill-ups of 16 gallons
My local prices today in Metro Phoenix
Estimated average mpg
10,000 miles per year driven
2.0L MPC
My main takeaway is 91 would, while costing about 15% more per fill-up, save ~$123 over a year using nearly 30 gallons less than 87 over the same...
...was applicable to a completely different engine. About the only thing the same between this 4 cylinder and the 3 cylinder Dragon used in the pre-MPC Bronco Sports is the open-deck design and the failure was coolant related.
Folks will have no problem finding content like this for Ford: they...
...trip was almost 4 hours highway each way, so I had a great opportunity to compare it with my trade-in, a 2023 BS BB.
First impression: the new MPC engine is a big step up from the Dragon. Since the car is brand new and still breaking in, I kept things gentle—cruising at about 91 km/h, with...
...oil change at 1,065 miles, sample in the mail to Blackstone.
The filter was another story. There’s conflicting info on which is the correct filter. For the 2.0 MPC, some sources says it’s a 910, others say 2717. We just spun the original one back on and I’ll deal with it in another 4,000 miles.
...door b-pillar vs the traditional location above the door handle. The drivers door b-pillar was not wide enough.
Also noticed the '25 BS new MPC engine is listed as a "Dragon B." I assume "Dragon" or "Dragon A" is the prior generation engine. I wonder if Ford is not promoting the...
Keep in mind the BS has now had four fundamentally different motors: Dragon 1.5 and 2.0, and MPC 1.5 and 2.0. For all the apparent similarities, there are some significant differences between family and displacement. Even identical parts between them will behave and respond differently in the...

Engine Oil Leak May Cause Fire
An oil leak can result in loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, an oil leak in the presence of an ignition source such as hot engine or exhaust...
Attached is the PDF of my oil analysis report from Blackstone Labs for my 2025 Bronco Sport Outer Banks with the 1.5l MPC engine. I didn't have any concerns leading into the oil change, such as coolant consumption, so the report is somewhat on the boring side. But I like to track each of my...
The video link reviews the 2025 2.0L MPC engine in a Maverick Lobo. This is the same new engine design that is in the 2025 BL. The 2025 1.5L 3 cylinder is very similar in overall look.
Note that the 2.0L now has both direct injection and port injection. It is interesting that Ford has not done...
2025-281 says 2025 Bronco Sports, 1.5L and 2L engine … first recall for the MPC Engine in a Bronco Sport?

The only filters I would even consider are the K&N-HP-1002, Wix-51348XP, Baldwin-B7491 Napa (also Baldwin)- FIL 1348MP As for oil, Mobil 1 or Gulf synthetic since for whatever reason this ended up on oil rather than the posted question about the oil filter.
...my first oil change on our new Bronco Sport Outer Banks, and I'm now confused about the correct oil filter. As we know, the 2025 1.5L has the new MPC engine that replaces the old 1.5L "Dragon" engine of years past. The owner's manual indicates that the correct oil filter for this engine is...
