103,000 miles on my Ecoboost report

[East-TN]

I know everybody's driving habits are different, I mostly drive short (10-20 minutes) drives almost everyday, but here is a pic of what my JLT Catch Can has collected over the last 1500 miles:



It's about 1.5 ounces...for 2018, I'm averaging about 1 ounce/per 1,000 miles driven.

Here is what the bottom of the Catch Can looks like after I've emptied it:



I believe most people won't notice much of a difference in their vehicle's performance...the effect of this oil being drawn into the intake and possibly coating the valves is a very slow process and may be very difficult to detect.

Nice travel trailer. Is that a Mini-Lite? I've been eyeing the 2509S to replace my 2018 R-pod, but I think it's too soon after buying the R-Pod last December.

It’s. 2016 Rockwood Roo. Has one slideout and three queen bed pop downs. You see the diamond plate on the side. Someone jackknifed it and punched through that wall. Has a couple small dents on other panels too. I bought it as a salvage trailer this summer for $1300 and just covered the hole with diamond plate and reinsulated and covered the inside with thin ply. Good as new.

Glad to hear it's been trouble-free, though I expect any vehicle I buy to get to 200K without major issues. So far they've all done it except for my Ford Probe. omg what a POS that was.

I drove my last two Toyota’s to 300,000 miles without any major issues so I have high standards and expectations.

They have never made a ecoboost v8. 2014 was the last year of the 5.4 v8 in the Expedition. 2015 and until current, the only engine available in the Expedition is the 3.5 ecoboost.

Gorgeous EL. We have a 2016 regular length LIMITED model. Really been happy with it. Pulled my father's boat (23 foot '97 Bryant with V8 recently) to get winterized and the EXPY did great. Looking forward to getting a TT to camp with family.

Good question here. Muddy if you have not yet I would recommend changing both your trans and transfer case fluids at 100k. Fords intervals on these parts aren’t the best advice, and are just a guide.

Did I read right, Ford is dropping all their car line? The numbers I guess don't lie. But can SUVs and pickups keep the company profits going. Obviously theirs the large vehicles F450 and larger, but what about competition for Toyota's Corolla, Camry, and their car I hate but sells like iphone the Prius. You'd think they would have invested heavily into Hybrid and Total electric to compete. Maybe their thinkin Lincoln will fill that gap. They'd have to have models at lower price points to compete. 2020 is going to be an interesting year.

Nothing other than oil changes so far. I’m on a nationwide trip right now. As soon as I get back end of November all fluids are getting changed. If it’s a fluid, it’s getting swapped for fresh stuff, blinker fluid included. So yes diffs, coolant, brake fluid, trans, etc. I agree that fords fluid change schedule is a bit more lax than I would advise.
