Ecoboost Oil Change
The oil filter does pick up various contaminates including any metallic particles larger than the micron rating of the filter media. However, the engine produces very fine metallic particles smaller than the micron rating of the filter. The magnet helps pick up these particles as well. I cut...- kekman

Hi from THE Buckeye state !!!
I have 10 grandkids and use this to tow a boat every weekend from May thru October- so they are jumping in and out after full days on the lake- wet swimming suites, fishing gear, waterboard gear, etc. I always had dark interiors in my cars in past for same reasons you mentioned until the last...- kekman

Tire pressure
17 EXPY Limited with 22" tires- the sticker says 35/35. Tire pressure and rotation is the key to successful tire life. I check mine every weekend and adjust before towing. The best way to set tire pressure is off of the load rating chart each tire mfg has for their tires by specific brand and...- kekman

Who has stickers on their Expy and what are they?
I keep the stickers to a minimal. My hitch cover has an Ohio State reflective logo on it- so I have to pull it off when going through MI or PA. (loved the post with the machine gun barrel for hitch cover- cool!) The only other thing I have is a 3"x 4" American flag on left corner of rear...- kekman

Change Tranny Fluid???
Just remember that regardless of which transmission you have, it is a basic hydraulic/mechanical device. The life of any hydraulic system is in the hydraulic oil: proper type, maintained often, filled to proper level but not over-filled. We trailer our boat over most of eastern US. I change oil...- kekman

ForScan Tweaks - 2015+
Really liked the post- great info. It is a little quirky: For me to get this to work, I have to have ignition on; audio on; and let the bluetooth connection complete-> then it will come up. Prior to that you can hold the buttons for a minute and nothing will happen. Thanks for the post.- kekman

2 Newb Questions
All response so far are accurate. On the brake dust, do you know if they turned the rotors? If not, then you would get an aggressive break in period with a lot of dust initially- especially if the rotors are grooved. If they didn't turn the rotors, then I would question the quality of the...- kekman

Ecoboost Oil Change
Great tip- I will definitely try that at next oil change. Here is another little tip that amazingly works- install a super magnet on outside side of your oil filter. Try it and first time you change filter- cut filter open to see the metal it picks up- it will make you a believer. Been doing...- kekman

2017 Expedition Limited New Mud Flaps.
Hi Guys- new member. Just bought a Certified Pre-owned 2017 Limited in great condition. First thing I did was install Weathertech mudflaps. Took 15 minutes to do all 4. Simple. Look decent. I do not think they extend far enough down. I manage a large fleet of trailers in North America and...- kekman
