Definitely not. The RDU (Rear Drive Unit) and PTU (Power Transfer Unit) require different types of oil. However, you can use any brand of oil for the PTU as long as it meets Ford’s specifications. The RDU, on the other hand, is a specialized component engineered specifically for Ford, requiring...

I replaced my plugs at 45K, I happened to have another set of OEM plugs which I believe I paid around $40 for (3 plugs). Taking my time it took less than 30 minutes to replace them. I looked into replacing my alternator as I've read here it does cost upwards of $1500, parts and labor. If and...

Oh yes, forgot about the dreaded road salt and magnesium chloride. Being from Washington State I know all about that. None of that in Florida, just hurricanes and palm sap.

I disagree wth your shops assessment. I've modified my exhaust a couple of times. I changed the entire configuration from the catalytic convertor outlet to the exhaust tips. From what I observed; from the exhaust manifold to the CC is modifiable but then you get into warranty and emission...

I presented my own data which is indicative of millions of others who perform regular maintenace both on personal vehicles and in a professional capacity. The results show if you have ever been a regular maintenace kind of guy and track your work. Plus you cannot lump every Bronco Sport sold to...

I'll have to defer to 45 yrs of expierience of performing maintenance on my vehicles and equipment. It's a common sense thing honestly. You can wish for your car to last 15 years and do nothing or you can perform regular maintenance and up the odds your car will run as as good as the day you...

I do a drain and fill every 10K, it takes about 3.5 qrts. and takes about as long as it does to change the engine oil and filter. Cheap insurance for the long term considering some are posting 8K for a new transmission at a Ford dealer. I'm sure the cost would be lower, possibly around 4-5K...

I recently did a drain and fill on my 21 BS OB. The process is easier than I thought. Just make sure you have all the tools and it will take about as long as it takes to change the engine oil and filter. I didn't measure the fluid I drained but I had 5 qts of ULV fluid just in case. After...

Good morning, the PTU and transmission definitely "do not use the same fluid/oil". The lines you see are most likey the PTU coolant lines, the same coolant as the engine uses. Your transmission takes a Mercon ULV, P/N XT-12-QULV. Your PTO requires Motorcraft XY-75W85-QL Synthetic Hypoid Gear...

Good Day BS Wrench Heads, I've been following the PTU threads for quite awhile and decided to takle changing the PTU oil myself. I inquired about having it done at two different dealers, both quoted $300 to have it done which was too rich for my blood. Everything is twice as much at a dealer...

80K a year to change oil and rotate tires? In any reality that is great money for the work. I live in south Florida, top 5 highest cost of living areas in the states, techs are getting much less than that and that is why the quality of workmanship is less than what you expect. Seems Ontario is...

Service techs come and go. Sounds like he was high on something. I pay $44 a hour for a DYI lift and do all my own now. Even paying for the lift it is cheaper and everything is done how I like done. Makes me mad to hear about your expierience. Hope you find a quality shop the next time.

Good info on this thread. As one posted above about using points. I've had my BS for over two years now. I used points for everthing, oil changes, tire mounting, wiper blades, you name it. Now I save the points for other things like tires, alignment, and odds and ends. OEM is good but there is...

The Optima brand makes great batteries. I'm looking to get ahead to when it comes to replacing my stock battery. What are your thoughts on Lithium batteries?

Did you look into a warranty replacement?

Just finished installing a UPR Catch Can. The excellant quality of this can is evident from first glance. Every component is made from the best material available for the application. There's plenty to choose from, some quite a bit cheaper but if you want the top of line version this is the one.
