    2019 MAX Oil Burning issue?

    Took our 2019 MAX (40kmi) for Cam Phaser replacement 2 weeks ago. Checked the oil today and it’s a quart low! Called the dealer to see if the cam phaser fix involved replacing the oil as well, they said they always do a 6qts with the cam phaser fix. SO either the tech didn’t add the right...

    The last two oil changes on my 2012 Expedition I did myself, using the standard motorcraft synthetic blend w/motorcraft filter. It’s an easy 20 minutes that I have no problem doing but I’m curious about lubrication while I’m under the truck; are there any parts with fittings that I should be...

    Oil Change Observations

    Did my first oil change. It was relatively simple and if you are considering it, I wouldn't hesitate. I have the plastic oil pan and plastic drain plug. While I saw reports of it being messy, I didn't have a problem with spillage at all. Rather than just pulling the plug all the way out, I...
