What I find weird is, like today, the BS goes into sleep mode when not used for a while with the battery maintainer connected with the battery at full charge.

Yes, with full synthetic.

I'll join you guys with about 3500 miles per.

I did a change at about 2K miles and went with a full synthetic Motorcraft dealer change.

I have two NOCO G40 jump starters. I used them for neighbors a couple of times with no issues.

Eyelet on the positive side of battery and my ground is connected to the Red Line hood lift bracket. My BS sits a lot and I ran a wire connect with cap to the cowl area of the windshield. Easy, quick off and on connection. I have used a Deltran Battery Tender Plus and have for over 20 years. I...

Ford cutting costs. The deletion of parts over the last few years and now cheaper grade fluids. WTF!

97% after 4k miles and 9 months. Something is wrong.

That's why the dealership service nickname is 'stealerships'.

I bought a leftover '24 Badlands and I'm at 418 miles and 89%. At 2300, I'll probably be 77% or less. The oil meter means nothing to me. I go with 5k or 1 year full synthetic oil changes.

Like the video, a couple of days ago, I changed the oil only at 355 miles and went with Motorcraft full synthetic. I did it from the top of the engine using an oil extractor. I could only get a bit over 4 quarts out. Added 4 qts of Motorcraft full synthetic. I ran the engine a few minutes and...

I'd go AGM next. AGM batteries can resist damage from extreme temps and vibration. The absorbed mats give AGM batteries a sponge-like resistance to vibrations. A regular car battery's sensitive internal components can break apart if you shake it hard enough. Its lead plates are hanging from a...

In a quick search, not cheap but cheaper than $43. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304867504254

For $43, I'd go aftermarket too.

I usually buy OEM air filters and cabin filters. I don't need one for the BS yet and usually buy from eBay. I recently purchased a Honda cabin filter for $21 for my wife's HR-V.

I liked it. No wrench is needed and no hot oil on your fingers or drain plug falling into the pan. The 6.7qt pan doesn't need a wrench. So if I was still doing my own oil changes, no need for the Fumoto valve.

I've used that drain plug on many vehicles before back in the day when I did my own oil changes.. It is nice to have as you don't have to take the drain plug off.

Won't work on the 6.7 qt capacity BS plastic pan.

My BS is going to Ford service for an oil change tomorrow. I will ask if they can go 5w30. Summers are hot here and winters are mild.

The 1.5 is 5w20. I'm sure I could go 5w30 in my area but I'll stick to the 5w20.
