  1. The 3 vehicles i used to run K&N filters on, all got better gas mileage. Factory airboxes are made with a few major things in mind, cost, assembly time and NVH. I don't see doing maintenance as "more trouble than it's worth". I change my transmission fluid every year, i would never figure it is "more trouble than it's worth". On the other hand, a friend at work who put a K&N on his truck claimed he got worse mileage, he is a lead foot though.
  2. 88 octane is garbage. It's more octane but has less btu's so you are gonna burn more. I wouldn't run that crap even in my lawnmower.
  3. How many miles? Do you know the maintenance history? What shape is the oil in it now? It may just be worn a bit or maybe the valve seals?
  4. 2.5l are known to have valve problems, after high mileage and neglect. I'm on my third vehicle with that motor and haven't had any problems, though i tend to sell at 85k-100k when the rust is starting.

  6. That's how the plugs look in a Ecoboost 1.5l. Change them. Mine were very similar at 65,000 miles. If it's not burning a lot of oil, like a subaru/dodge/jeep, Don't worry about it.
  7. So how do you unlock the doors later if there is a power door lock malfunction? Seems like a solution looking for a problem.
  8. You need to explain this, how do you lock a door with a screwdriver?
  9. And again there are no parts available for the recall to fix the problem.
  10. Our 2016, not one single problem. Battery died after 5 years but that is to be expected. I think i did rear brakes. No problems with our other vehicle with the ecoboost, 69,000 miles no problems. Sound like you need a real mechanic who knows cars and how to work on them. There is also a thing called preventative maintenance.
  11. Nothing to do with how the car is driven? Certainly can be if the snot was beat out of it. But chances are it is hit or miss as some of these engines do not have a problem, others do. 2017 with 19K was probably owned by a old man so was probably not beat on and just a bad engine since new.
  12. What do you mean old fashioned battery meter test? A regular meter? That will tell you voltage. A load tester puts a load on the battery and while it does that you read the meter, nothing old fashioned or new about it. My 25 year old load tester will test my new battery. When you are replying to these people with battery problems, tell them it needs to be load tested, simple. Or do you work at a dealer or repair shop trying to drum up money? Maybe you should write up a article on how to clean your battery terminals on a regular basis and you won't have 95% of these problems.
  13. A old load tester with meter will work just fine. Where did you come up with this?
