The 'net seems to be suggesting that 05-20 or 0-20 oil is too low a viscosity to properly protect bearings etc in many newer engines. If you own a BS with the 1.5L engine, does this worry you? Would you run a 1.5L on oil with a viscosity of.. X-30 as a precaution? Would you do this in a...

Has anyone replaced their "wet " oil pump belt yet? Mileage? Cost ? HAs anyone put more than 100,000 miles on original belt? Fog

My '22 BS/OB developed a shudder at very low speed - less than 5 MPH, around 18K miles. Lived with it as I also had a bad RDU . RDU was replaced, shudder still there. Took to dealer for regular service, at 22K miles, so I paid for transmission fluid replacement. I don't drive much so I...

My 2022 BS/OB needed a new RDU at 20K. That appears to be the single clutch version. For that year and possibly up t0 2024 all non Badlands got the single clutch RDU while the Badlands got the dual clutch RDU. I found information that suggests that starting with 2025's, all the BS got the...

Ford sent me a Customer Satisfaction Survey on the 3rd anniversary of my in-service date. The usual,..Would you recommend to a friend. etc. I got to admit, I gave the vehicle a poor rating. I enjoy the vehicle ( BS/OB 2022 ) but too many recalls and an impression of general lack of attention...

Does anyone at FOMOCO know how to handle recalls? $165 Million fine. Let's see, buy 457,000 AGM batteries, Volume discount..$100 each and $100 shop time to install. That's $91.4 Mil and possibly no fine. And still leaves $73.6 Mil to put toward the next disaster. Owning a BS makes me...

OBX with 20K miles. No problem YET with RDU. But I was concerned that the TSB is applied AFTER you have the problem. Assessment of possible damage caused by intrusion of water etc from original vent tube design causing " contamination of RDU fluid " not part of TSB. No idea of what damage...

I may regret this, but right now, I am neutral ( as opposed to negative ) about my 2022 BS/OB around 16K miles. I bugged the dealer for 2 1/2 years to replace my EFB because, basically, it was a POS. He always declined, said the fact it would not hold a charge for more than 20 minutes was...

I have a 2022 OBX, built late December 2021. 1.5 EB My paper owners manual says oil capacity is 5.3 qts. I did not get the " addendum " some have talked about with the vehicle. The online 2022 owners manual shows 6.6 qts., makes no reference to build date. The online Motorcraft Oil -Quick...

My 2022 OBX is 8 months old, 4200 miles. No issues until 2 weeks ago. Auto stop/start stopped working. When I stop with my foot on the brake, the grey A on the dash lights up. Car is warmed up, no air, no heat, nothing on. Outside temp @ 65F. Information message for S/S shows "...

BS/OB delivered 02/22/22 Observations and comments; > Opening passenger side front door does not unlock passenger side rear door. Or any door. This is a pain. Any workaround? Friend with 2019 Subaru says hers is the same. My previous ride ( Flex ) I am pretty sure if either front door was...

What oil is in a BS / 1.5L from the factory? My owner's manual mentions a synthetic blend or a full synthetic. Should I assume the factory oil meets the warranty specs, and is, at a minimum, a synthetic blend? No Dino oil? Fog
