Did my initial at about 1200 miles, 1900 kms. Replaced with 5W30, Pennzoil Ultra Platinum (PUP). Skye won't be seeing a lot of miles. I'll be changing once a year. I rely on the Ford Intelligent Oil Life Monitor. As others have commented, the Oil Life Monitor relies on multiple factors to...

I'd seen that, yes. I updated my post. Apologize if I implied this should be done by the owner/operator. Hopefully, the "settling" period of these car/s and their systems is a brief one.

FWIW, a reference from the inspection checklist: "With the ignition key in the OFF position, check battery state of charge. Recharge if indicator is red or voltage measures ≤12.4 V." New car, generation, systems, software, post-production delays, etc. When I receive a new computer, I'll plug...

I'm afraid the numbers could be quite large. While the initial assessment of affected stations has been completed, I think it is too soon to know the amount of cars impacted. I'm not familiar with the location, but some of these stations can have rather large sales volumes on a normal day. With...

For those in FL, if not already aware, the following is occurring on the west coast: diesel fuel loaded in gas station ground tanks by mistake. I've not read of incidents in other areas of the state. https://apnews.com/article/florida-...idalia-storm-f87e0a62250d252eff7ea51cc3a78880 "The...

I think, nothing more than convenience. To install the can, you'll disconnect and remove an existing PCV-related connection, one from the passenger side. For tracking, the car is moving around, things sloshing (LOL) around, high G and RPMs, more severe duty, etc. For FI or turbo, some can have...

Agreed. Street driving with occasional track, passenger side only. Track enthusiast, tracking often, both sides. Forced Induction or turbo, discuss with the vender.

If you have a detailer in mind, go to their place and get a junk strip, a scrap strip of film you're interested in. Stick it somewhere on your glass and drive with it for a few days. If they cannot accommodate the above, they should have a display with the different percentages and types, on a...

In another forum, someone started a thread in '22 to solicit feedback on this topic. The general read was about 8 mi / 12.8 km at pickup. Skye was at 8 / 12.8 . Factory-to-storage pad, with a drive around the test track on the way, transfers through transport waypoints, dealer prep and...

For routine maintenance washes, Gyeon's Bathe is excellent. One of the best. https://gyeonusa.com/collections/wash-soaps/products/q2m-bathe IF the car is coated in PPF, you can use Bathe as often as you like. If you'd like a mild decontamination soap for PPF, to be used once every few months...

https://www.up.com/customers/track-record/tr053122-hurricane-preparedness-tips-2022.htm I need to study this further. CSX had some tells of their storm policies. So when hurricanes or large storms are approaching an area, sailors will sometimes leave port and drive to safety. I'd like to think...

Agreed. Hopefully, crossing the land will weaken the system. Happy Thoughts.

https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/ Hurricane Franklin is presently expected to vector off, back into the Atlantic. :whew: There is a tropical depression #10, forecast to cross FL, rain to be moderate in Jacksonville. If things continue as expected, :please: it appears things will be OK. :like:

Thanks for posting. Items One and Two seem more like annoyances. Item three though...I read the announcement several times. I can understand messaging, authentication and self-checks. And I can appreciate the complexities of software. Until a fix is designed tested and available, reads like...

I agree. My situation was a bit different. I was working with Internet Sales. I entered the discussion wanting to make things as easy, quick and painless for the salesperson. My reasoning was, for inputting an order and virtually no other effort, they'd quickly lock in an MSRP deal. It worked...

I actually used their offer as a negotiating tactic to buy my '22. Initially, the person I was working with wanted a $5K ADM. We were discussing this and that over time (Internet Sales), wearing each other down. My final insistence was they had to meet me at MSRP, as I could buy one from...

Very well could have been intended, but things changed, yes. Many have believed same. My thoughts... Everyone seemed pretty chummy with that they already had, so to provision the new intake/TBs to the Mach 1, while welcome, was not required. To give buyers incentive to purchase/upgrade to a...

The A-pillars in front with the windshield, and possibly where/how they attach to the unibody.

Two general locations: 1. the underside of the car, to help prevent flexing/twisting of the unibody. 2. the roof pillars, and possibly where they attach to the unibody, to help survive a rollover.

Try to take solace in that, whatever is going at the factory, Ford has your order, has gifted you a VIN, and the car, wherever it is, won't be leaving until it's right. With Ford shipping cars, line production, finished product and information should begin flowing better than before.
