    Top Tier Fuel

    Not so long ago I contacted Murphy Oil Company asking this same question about Top Tier Fuel. The answer with documentation was that retailers of Fuel Products pay for this designation. I have the 1.5 Dragon engine and have used several Fuels. The WaWa Ethanol free 87 octane is good and...

    Extended Warranty on used 2021 BSBL with 56,500 miles

    I suggest you look closely at what is and is not covered. Do require New parts or remanufactured parts? Do they require and will they pay for Diagnostics or Teardowns to diagnose any issue?

    I think it happened...cracked fuel injector

    From the research I,ve done on the 1.5 Dragon 3 cylinder engine it is programmed to go into lymp mode and deactivate any cylinder that is not functioning properly so you may have been running two cylinders to protect the engine.

    Auto Start / Stop not autoing.

    Thanks, Most definitely agree on frequent oil changes most likely 4000 or less and Full Synthetic. There are several you tube videos on the subject of frequent oil change intervals.

    Review: I got the chance to sit in one!

    I currently have the BSBB 1.5 and have only had it for 40 days. It is fun, plenty of power and I only use Ethanol free Fuel at 89 Octane and get up to 32 mpg. In traffic s/s it drops by 2 mpg to 30. I previously owned an Escape 1.6 2013 and got 25 mpg in town . Everything depends on your method...
