    Safety Recall 22S36 - Certain 2021 Model Year Expedition and Lincoln Navigator Vehicles - Underhood Fire

    I’ve thought about this from a liability perspective as well. When the notification came out, we were in the middle of hail season in my area. I would never park it outside during that part of year. If the vehicle gets destroyed by hail, does Ford share any liability? The only reason it’s...

    Used 87 instead of 93...check engine light.

    As I somewhat expected, the CEL went out on its own. I had no further triggering after the initial light, nor did I have a trigger after filling up with the same exact fuel again. My hypothesis is the sudden switch from 93 to 87 caused a brief emissions change while the engine computer adapted...

    Used 87 instead of 93...check engine light.

    I always fill up at Costco. Surprised to get bad gas from them because they sell top tier and the fuel never sits in the tanks long.

    Used 87 instead of 93...check engine light.

    On another note, I appears these messages in the ford app are indeed specific based on this thread I found. https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/catalytic-converter-warranty-just-fyi.31378/#post-428511

    Used 87 instead of 93...check engine light.

    Very good point. I had actually thought of that first, and checked to make sure they are there.

    Used 87 instead of 93...check engine light.

    Thanks for confirming 87 should not be an issue. My only thought was maybe the computer had set the timing based on the 93 fuel for so long, and then got some knock with the sudden addition of 87 fuel, and tripped the check engine light, but has probably since pulled timing. I have never seen...

    Used 87 instead of 93...check engine light.

    I have been running 93 octane fuel since the vehicle was new (about 1 year). In my head, turbo vehicles always use premium fuel, and that is what we always put in since new. I happened to be looking for something unrelated in the owners manual, and saw that 87 fuel is fine. Since it is nearly...

    Expedition as Long Trip Road Vehicle

    I did about 5k miles in mine over the course of a month and a half, including 2 1500 mile hauls. I would highly suggest the captains chair configuration. With the mobile wifi and captains chairs, it's like a rolling living room. With all the drivers assistance features, like advanced cruise...

    Help identifying what appears to be a fluid leak

    As another follow up, I went out and started the car up and moved it to the other side of the driveway so that I could scrub off the soot. While it was idling, I could see the water coming out of the tailpipe and that mid muffler, a pretty good stream. I then took the vehicle for a drive to...

    Help identifying what appears to be a fluid leak

    That makes sense. I went out and wiped the collected soot off, and will try to make sure the vehicle gets up to full operating temp more often. I have plenty of experience with exhaust soot from turbo / DI vehicles, but I have never seen evidence of it from places other than the exhaust tips...

    Help identifying what appears to be a fluid leak

    Thanks for the replies. This vehicle definitely does do plenty of short trips when not being used for long road trips, like run the kids down the road to school. (I know this is terrible for a vehicle). I do agree, this looks like soot that I would find on the exhaust tips being mixed with...

    Help identifying what appears to be a fluid leak

    Over the past month or so, I began to notice black spots on the driveway where the Expedition is parked. Given that the vehicle is a '21, the last thing I am expecting right now are oil leaks. I thought that maybe it was just the AC drain picking up some dirt on the way to the ground and did...
