5900 mis at almost 6mos! 3 - oil changes..for good break In purposes.. overkill yes I know . Get dirt cheap pricing on Penn Ultra Platinum oil an Bosch /Wix filters. 5k mi OCI here on out. Love this truck. Tire PSI @36. Best all around pressure for me. What's everyone else runnin in tires??
Right on. Some ppl just dont realize theres a big difference out there in filter quality just from a few bucks up/dwn in pricing. Silicone vs rubber for an ADBV. Wire meshing around filter media. Filter media capacities. Ratings. On & on. Motorcraft filter is very, very solid but would never run...
Sounds bout normal. Winter blend def reduces MPGs slightly altho not hugely. 91-93 octane Prenium all winter may offset that a bit while feeding the 2.3L TGDI the fuel it really runs best on . At least we not dealing with the dog of an engine in Tacoma! I'm talking there V6. Pitiful. Ranger is...
I'm plenty good in great states of Michigan or Ohio thankyou very much! They building like crazy up here in both states (commercial & residential) & population in each state stands around 12mil. Big states! I lived in SE Virginia 15yrs & got out. That state is going to the dogs. High cost of...
Absolutely true! Only 2 family controlled automakers in all the world. Ford Motor is one an BMW is the other! Ford Motor will be around another 120yrs ...i think its 120 now or close. Dont worry bout it. One off the wall article with lil if any merit. Speculation at its finest . Oh an Ford never...
Shouldn't sound like anything is rattling in engine bay of ur truck!? Not normal. Mine is smoooooth an quiet. As have the last 4 EcoBoost engine equipped Fords weve owned. Superior tech. Take it to dealer. Change ur oil. Use only 5w30 or 0w30 (colder climates) SN+ rated oils & PROPER oil filter...
I wouldn't say super loud...ever listen to some the foreign DI engines? Slight buzz at low rpms as long as smooth an congruent is just a 4cyl trait. Ranger has heavy engine cooling an tends to take a bit to warm up ...this is not a bad thing!
Nice. Wish we get some snow in NW Ohio & SE Michigan be honest. Been real warm overall for Dec / Jan mos. Say a storm is movin in soon so we see. My 19 Ranger FX4 & the '17 F150 Platinum FX4 stay in our oversized garage all yr long mainly. We do enjoy taking the quads out in the white frosting...
Heck ya! U cant go wrong with these new Rangers. Just he sure run a real good full synthetic SN+ rated motor oil & motorcraft filters (similar quality) throughout! 5k mi oil changes are the recommendations from engineering experts.
Agreed. GM midsize trucks are quite good an I test drove em. I despise the Tocoma so was never in consideration. After seeing & driving new '19 Ranger last august when I needed a new truck that was it for me! Bought it on the spot. XLT FX4 crew cab black on black. Pretty well loaded. 7k mis...
So , remote start ...or use Ford app to start up 5min + b4 you leave in AM ..morning cold starts only..fan roar?? It sound great at startup..never rough. New Rangers have ample & large cooling systems so I'm sure the fan is bit oversized . Notice it takes good few min driving get up to operating...
I too am running 4-5k OCI max. In fact, the 1st -2 oil changes on my new Ranger were real early. I use Pennzoil Platinum or Penn Ultra Platinum full synthetic 5w30. Both SN+ rated w/outstanding used oil analysis every time I've gotten em! Cant go wrong w/ WIX filters. I run Bosch filtech on all...
Good idea! Hope this isnt ur 1st oil change!? If it is, hope you upgraded to full synthetic SN+ rated motor oil. Never going over 5k mis in these very high tech EcoBoost engines is common knowledge. 1 × wont hurt anything but running a real good oil from now on along w/ @ least 89 octane fuel...
I live in NW Ohio & go to Raibe Ford or Reineke Ford. Good service depts. I try to change the oil myself if possible or take to shop I can watch closely:) . Truck has only had 3 oil changes..well in 7k total mis. 1st early OCI's were for break- in purposes & oil /filter upgrades etc. Running...
