I did a 5000-mile change in May and did oil analysis, and I was shocked to find 4% of fuel dilution. There was no indication of any injector not working properly and it was recommended by the lab to resample at half the interval. I just drained at 2700 miles and waiting for the results. I do a lot of short trips and have read this can cause that issue with DI engines.

Hand tight a 1/4 turn

Since I got them installed, I'm just going through hell to make the lift work. I barely driven anywhere due to severe vibrations. Do I have to get new wheels? What am I doing wrong?

I also found a ceramic oil additive by stp

How badly did affect the mpg?

I do my Ecoboost at 4000 miles an use Castrol oil have done that in truck i have owned an never had a problem

Well done. One of the few videos that actually show the before and after shots.

My dealership (still) recommends 5K or one year on every vehicle.

Great info, thanks! Question, doesn't running bigger tires like that hurt the transmission over time?

Would love more details about the drying process. The Zep worked wonders after 15 minutes in each housing. However, even after rinsing with distilled water, the hair dryer is NOT drying the housing. I’ve had a hair dryer on it in 15 minute increments for 90 minutes and even though the distilled water prevented water spots, I still have a puddle of water inside the housing. I’m struggling to understand how this step took you 15 minutes?

I used motor craft 5 20 in my New Ford Taurus DOHC V6 Change oil every 3500 miles Car had 250 thousand on it when I sold it to buy my Maverick Truck. My 2.0 will run that same with 93 octan gas i had 250000 0n fuel pump also using Sunoco gas

Any little engine with a turbo is overclocked & needs frequent servicing. !

Walmart always has deals on tires!

could you do that to a lariat with the led?

Your truck looks really nice. How did it affect your mpg and payload capacity?

Use metal ramps gentlemen.

7500 mile oil change intervals are completely crazy, will definitely sludge up your motor over time. Having owned and maintained my own vehicles for many decades, as I had worked as a professional auto mechanic for many years back in the day, I would agree wholeheartedly with this guy to use pure synthetic oil (my preference is Castrol Syntec, as it is more readily available at local big box stores, along with the Fram Synthetic Oil filter). I always do the first oil change at 2500 miles and use petroleum oil, then switch to pure synthetic at 5K miles, and then every 5K miles which is now really easy to keep track of (10k, 15K, 20K, etc.). Only correction I would note is to just loosen but not remove the rear two bolts for the large pan, as it is designed to slid off of and back on to those two rear bolts (notice the slots in the rear of the pan), that will make the job just a bit easier. Also, I would reinstall the bolts by hand and then be sure to adjust the torque setting on the driver when tightening the bolts, although I always do a final tightening by hand rather than rely on a tool that might under or over tighten the bolts.

Is the degreaser vehicular and diodegradable?

does it still reflect light with the chrome being removed?

great video , thanks

Great video!!! Finally.....someone who doesn't just spend thousands on wheels, tires, racks & tents but can't justify money on oil and oil changes!! Good on ya brother!! Hope you're keeping up on transmission and diff fluids too!!

I only use Amsoil 💪💪

I’ve heard numerous automotive engineers stating the recommended intervals are for warranty and a minimum. They all state if you want it to last change oil more frequently. In fact, at one dealership I worked at I seen a customer get a new engine despite being out of warranty simply because they did just that, changed their oil more often than recommended. I have a Maverick too and change oil every 4k, starting at 1k with full synthetic Pennzoil Platinum.

Let us know when your truck stops beading water with that 5 year Ceramic coating. I had the same thing done to my Wifes CX30 (5 years ceramic) and it stopped beading after 1 year. I am thinking 5 year is BS

Looks great but looks like you got 2 inches of lift on front but with the bigger tires it should have been 3 inch right? 2 inches from the lift and 1 inch from the bigger tires. So do those springs really only lift the truck 1” in front? Also any issues with your CV Axles since lifting?

that top is not at all airodynamic which will kill the gas mileage

Thanks for sharing the video. Have you changed the transmission oil yet?

I'm looking for some but the sizes are all over the place. What were the sizes in inches of these? I've measured of course, but i see conflicting info online. Thanks

Dang 245 65 17 looks good! I have to consider these tires. The truck looks great.

where did you get those headlights covers that you have over the top part of the headlight?

Kind of an unnecessary job. Factory lights are sufficiently bright. If the upgrade is for nervous drivers to feel more comfortable with super bright lights, go for it. They look so bright that they may blind tail-gaters as well. Leave in the factory bulbs.

after loose but not leaking, use a Mc-cup over the filter to twist off, no mess.

I'd like to get one but there's a waiting list due to youtubers buying everything up. It'd be nice for once tot see a video of using this truck bed as this this vehicle was designed to do. What Typical household items fit in the bed, will it hold new in box washer and dryers for example.

Thanks for the video. You mentioned you can recalibrate the computer to go from 225 to 235 tires. Do you know where I can get more info on how to do that?

Just got mine and installed one of those garage, smart electric hoist. Still testing and playing with the hoist, but I’m pretty excited about it.

FOED techs are ignorant, the quality of the oil is important new synthetic oils can be in the engine for over two years and 10,000 miles, so changing oil more frequently just make oil companies richer there is zero data supporting 5000 mile oil changes are beneficial and the actually might be worse for your car

Thanks for the video! Nice job! If I can add a suggestion. Remove the fill cap and dip stick first. Then when you pull the drain plug and filter, you will get a smoother and more complete drain.

I just bought a 2024 Maverick XLT ecoboost last week, and the dealership I bought from told me every 5k miles was their recommendation, so at least some dealers are aware that they need oil changes slightly more frequently

I replaced my AWD badge with a Hybrid badge and removed my FX4 decals.

I went ahead and removed my FX4 decals and removed my AWD emblem. Then put a Hybrid emblem on the tailgate.

This still works with distilled water? I can´t buy ZEP in my country. Thanks!

Was just the springs changed or were shims also put on? What are exact models of Eibach springs? These springs increased how many inches in height? thank you very much and congratulations the car looks good

Recommendation: I bought the Maverick rubber bed mat and replaced the bottom tray of the drop in bed liner on my 24 FX4 Cactus Gray. Love your channel

Hi there, do you have an email or IG that I can contact you about a potential brand event?

Nice video .. but why you didn’t prime or fill your filter with oil before installing it? Many says it’s very important to do so

My tail lights wont pop off like that, are there extra steps not listed on this or is it different for 2024? Xlt fx4

I have a question. I decided to buy eibach springs after i saw your video and had them installed. Im having an issue though. After the install, i noticed i pretty much lost all of my downward travel in my shock. Going over a speed bump at 20-25mph, i hear a loud bang when the suspension is coming downward. I can only assume that the noise im hearing is the shock bottoming out. Do you have this issue? I seem to only have an inch and a half to 2 inches of downward travel after the install. How did you combat this if you did not also replace the strut with a longer shock?

Can you do the headlights too

Love MKC

I wonder would this work on the headlights?
