I am having other issues, so i did not get it done to just to see if there was oil additives used. plus it is always a good idea to have your oil analyzed to see how your engine is doing. Check them out, Blackstone laborites, I think I paid $40 or 50
LOL common sense is not a source, however a Blackstone oil analysis is. It is your car, so do what you will as I was just letting you know the POSSIBLE issues down the road with Ford if a warranty issue would arise. I also had a 2015 that did not have tick, no oil additives used.
Ford stated...
source? as the only additive I heard them use on new vehicles is maybe XL-17. I had my oil analysis done on my first oil change and there was no additives found. No tick after first oil change.
I believe that is normal since Ford uses the valve cover for other vehicle that do use those screw holes.
Also I would be hesitant to put any additives in the oil like ceretec because it could void your warranty on your internal engine parts. Plus its not a good idea to use additives on a new...
Pretty odd my service advisor said he has over 30 years experience with Ford and has never heard of these type of engine issues. Well at least my issue but none the less a valve train issue.
Dang that's crazy. My number 8 cylinder is leaking a little oil on the plug. They are going to replace it and want to check it in 1k miles. Can't believe Ford takes this long to fix stuff! Good luck!
If you are burning a quart of oil every 750 miles how bad was it smoking? I feel like it would be smoking all the time.. Did anyone pull the spark plugs to check them? what tests did they do to determine you needed a new engine besides the obvious?
Also where did you hear Ford service...
I am thinking the CAI was the difference but who knows. I am going to install a magna flow tru-X muffler in place of the stock resonator. I liked the sound of it on my S550 so should be the same!
okay, took me awhile to figure out what you did, anyway, the climate controlled leather seats are not an add on package, they come std on the premium models which is the 400a package. When you select package 401A you get "unique leather trimmed seats" that are also climate controlled. If you...
What is your source about the full grain leather vs half grain leather? only documented difference I can find is the stitching with the unique leather trimmed seats that come with the 401a package. I think if that were the case it would be advertised because that would be another selling point.
