    Oil Change Interval in Winter

    Does anyone change their oil change interval in the Winter? I normaly go 5,000-8,000 kms (not miles) between changes depending on whether I've been towing or not. In winter I don't tow and had thought the oil might last longer than normal because our car seldom even gets heated all the way up...

    Where is the block heater cord?

    Where should I find the block heater plug under the hood on a 2019 max platinum? I confirmed with the dealership that there should be one but I can’t see it anywhere from above or below. Should it be obvious if it’s there?

    Any danger in forcing downshifts? Or lugging engine?

    We're partway through a 5 week road trip towing a 7,000lb travel trailer and I've noticed that when going uphill the Expedition is very reluctant to downshift, especially from 7 to 6 (I normally drive in 7-8 when towing around 60 mph). It's a 2019 Platinum with HD tow and lots of practice...

    OEM Parts in Canada (spark plugs)

    Has anyone been able to find Motorcraft spark plugs in Canada? None of the online retailer seem to stock Motorcraft or even NGK (even Canadian Tire) and shipping them up from the US is pretty expensive. Our local dealership in Peterborough, ON, is horrible and I wouldn't trust them to do any...

    Go over 6 months between oil changes?

    I was in Mexico for part of the winter so my 2019 Platinum Expedition has only been driven 2400 miles since my last oil change. No towing but mostly cold weather short trips since I changed it at the end of November. I use Mobil1 Truck & SUV which says it’s good for 1 year between oil...

    Premium fuel for longevity?

    I used premium fuel for the first 8 months of ownership of my 2019 platinum max, mostly 91 octave without ethanol. Then I thought I’d save some money by using regular gas instead. Do any of the engineers on here have an idea of whether using premium gas, ethanol free gas, or any particular...

    Transmission coolant top up

    Yesterday on a long, steep climb while towing our transmission got close to overheating (118 Degrees C). So I thought I should pay some attention to the coolant. I believe the attached picture is the coolant and it’s at the minimum level. What do you recommend to use for topping it up?

    What Could Ford Do Better?

    Just in case the engineers at Ford ever want to know what their biggest fans want changed in future Expeditions, why don't we tell them a couple things that are irritating about our Expys that could be ironed out in future releases? My biggest pain point is the foot activated lift gate. It...

    Trailer Disconnected Error

    Occasionally while towing our airstream, I get a notification on the dash that the trailer has been disconnecting. When I pull over to check, the umbilical cord is still in place and all the lights are working properly. I pull out and re-insert the umbilical cord, and I'm usually good to go...

    Use 360 camera as dash cam

    I assumed at first that this would be easy to do but I can’t find any info online. I’d like to get a dash cam installed and my expedition already has cameras all the way around it! Has anyone figured out how to just record footage from those cameras without needing to install a whole new...

    Low Tire Pressure Warning

    Hi all, I’ve got a 2019 expedition with a really handy feature that shows the tire pressure in each tire. Unfortunately, it appears to be off by 8-10 psi and is giving me a low pressure warning (31psi or lower) while the gas station pump is telling me all the tires are up at 40psi. Has...
