Well, I’m at 92k. I’ve rebuilt the entire rear end when it grenaded. I’m out of warranty for the cam phasers. So that’ll be another $3k repair.
Other than those issues it’s been routine maintenance. I’m gonna need another set of tires soon. Brakes will likely need gone through again as the originals lasted about 45K miles. Well, let me rephrase, the rears started grinding so I had them do all 4 corners. The material is worn down again so I’ll likely just go another round when I do the tires.
I was doing 5K mile OCI with Valvoline 5w-30 synthetic and a Mobil 1 filter but the Blackstone analysis always came back good so I’m just going to 80% on the OLM. I don’t use the expy as much as it cost me $105 to fill with premium last week with 50mi DTE and I’ve got a Fusion Hybrid giving me 40-42mpg on regular as my daily which has racked up 65K trouble free miles despite catapulting over a deer hit by another car that was sliding down the road on its side and a stray dog that darted out in front breaking the fog light bracket which I fixed at home.
I have a small front axle leak but I keep the level checked. It’s just enough to keep it wet. I also don’t like the plastic oil pan and oil drain valve set up. The panoramic roof squeaks but I’ve got some of the special lube on order from Amazon. The RES is also a PITA and not as well integrated as I’d like. The side mirrors freaking out when I change my settings back from another driver but I rarely have anyone drive it so I’ve not been overly concerned
Other than that, it’s been a good vehicle and serves my family faithfully
