    10W30?

    Hi All, I highly recommend using Amsoil and spend a few bucks for one of the best motor oils out there. Read the tests results. I have used this oil for over the last ten years in all my vehicles, none i repeat none of them burned a drop of oil. My current ride is a 2014 with 81K on the clock. I...

    Recommendations for rear shocks & smooth ride

    I told the dealer what I wanted and he replaced all four, the newer coil spring around the strut calmed down the ride and is smoother, just my feel with my vehicle. It is pampered and well taken care of and looks just like it did when I drove it home.

    14 expedition low/rough idle

    I have a 2014 Limited and changed to plugs around 70,000 using the Iridium plugs, changed all the filters, no problems. Check each plug to see how it looks upon removal. It will tell you how each cylinder is firing. We added a Flowmaster Delta Force cold air induction, model # 389-615125. Don't...

    5W-30 instead of 5W-20

    Using 5W-30 instead of 5w-20 is okay to use if you are starting to use oil in the engine. Look up Amsoil and read the test results comparisons with other high quality oils. It has superior wear protection and I have been using this oil in all my vehicles, cars boats and motorcycles for many...

    Question on True Synthetic oil (5.4L)

    I'd like to add that I have a 2014 Expedition with 78000 miles and the only oil I have ever used in this engine is Signature Series 5W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil, since I had 500 miles on the engine. It's a excellent oil that can go 25000 miles between oil changes, I usually change the oil once...

    The 5.4L 3-valve "mileage vs symptoms" thread!

    My 2014 Expedition Limited has 76,000 miles and not one problem! Use Amsoil Signature oil., change it once a year about 18,000 miles, doesn't use any oil or leak anything. Looks as good as it did when I first got behind the wheel.

    5W-30 instead of 5W-20

    Take a look at Amsoil Signature synthetic oil and the test results against Mobil One, Royal Purple. Then make your own decision as to what you will put in your engine. I've used it in all my boats, son's motorcycles and all our vehicles with great results. My 2014 Expedition Limited has 75K...

    Garage Heater Recommendations

    I would suggest try to insulate the walls and ceiling. Insulate the garage doors as well seal up all the weatherstripping around the garage doors and that will keep the heat loss at a minimum while using a secondary type of heater. The insulation will keep the temp in the garage from freezing...

    Our New 2015 Platinum Expedition

    V8 vs Eco Boost If you really prefer the V8 go to a dealer and have him search for a 2014 V8 in the trim level you want. I wasn't thrilled with buying a V6 with Eco Boost, so I searched and spoke with my dealer and they found me a 2014 Limited with all the toys, plus I got a super discount on...
