sideswipe

I found that penzoil syn has a a better resistance

rating than mobil 1 syn

I have found out mobil 1 is not what they say it is. So im going with penzoil.

Want to do oil change and wondering

What type they use at plant.

Will update on fuel mileage and break

In.

Well i went there to get gas the sign

Says reg 90 recreational fuel %100

gasoline. Ethanol free.

When i fill up tomorrow i will get picture.

It's a sunoco gas station.

This gas is 90 octane it says

It on the display on the sign.

I think e90

You guys are gonna flip on mine first tank

Driving highway 56 mph 33 mpg trip

Meter. Awd sport

I love this edge

True will get better gas mileage but will

It do anything for break in period. Who

Knows figured why not try it one time.

Plus would like to see what i can get

For mpg.

Im talking no ethanol straight gas

For the first fewfew thousand miles im gonna

Run straight fuel with no ethanol. I

Wanna see if it makes a difference using

It for fuel economy. I would also like to

Know how it does for its break in period.

What do you guys think of this? I haven't

Heard of anyone ever trying it. I will keep

You guys updated on fuel economy. I

Have the awd sport blue edge. I have

13 miles on my edge.

Update on my sport blue edge i have not signed

Papers yet. Last Thursday i inspected it and

Found a bent right rear applique. The left rear

Door sill plate and hardware wasn't seating

Properly. Went back today to pick it up and

Looked at it again after it was cleaned up.

This time i found a scratch on left rear

Passenger door. The girl took care of that

Scratch. Next i found a scratch on the black

Plastic girl gonna have that replaced to bad

Of a scratch. Next thing i found was the

Headliner had a deformity in the back from

The ones who installed it at the plant. I also

Found hand prints on the headliner. Also

They are gonna realign the liftgate its off

Slightly. Last but not least found the right

Front door had hit the front fender

at the plant and they

Did a hatchet repair job so body shop

Dealership is having to fix that before

We sign the papers.

Went and talked to service manager he has the

3.5 eco boost and he told me premium is fine.

You cannot put e85 in a eco boost engine that will

Faul the plugs. My sales representative told me

Wrong

What he told me is it retards the timing which in turn fauls out the plugs he has had a few vehicles in for that issue. He is right about it retarding the timing because of higher octane. Our vehicles are set up to run on regular unleaded. When I get to the dealership I will ask the service manager if he has had any of these problems

I just found out it will faul out the plugs. talked to my salesman he said he's had customers already with that problem running premium fuel

Also post what octane fuel being used.

Well we have had some bad storms and my carpet

Is still dry.

What they dont understand the more vehicles

You build the more problems you run into.

When ford runs into problems they have

special people to find the fix as quick as

Possible. You see how mine has the fix so

It didn't take them long at all to solve the

Problem. l

Do any of you guys work at a plant or for ford.

The ones posting negative responses.

Mine took 8 weeks to get to Dealership

Working there they have alot of tests and

Tear downs trying to find problems. Some

Times problems dont show up until they

Build alot of vehicles. I cant tell you how

Many inspectors they have looking at

Each vehicle looking for flaws. Some

Times issues with vehicles get to the

Dealership and have them fix them.

As long as they get there numbers

Out the door at the plant thats what

Management cares about. They do

Catch alot of stuff in house but you

Are talking about 1200 vehicles

in a 24 hour period. Alot of car

Companies do this some are better

Than others at catching defects.

Is this enough for you guys

Got more just not enough time to do it will have it done later after work

Hm where to start

1. Stand at back of vehicle and look to see if everything is flush nothing sticking out on either side of the vehicle

2 check for bent or scratched applique on each door

3. Check each door for rattles

4 rubber molding should overlap all trim pieces including lift gate

5. Door sills should be firm to floor push down to see if it moves.

6. Look at all the windows for chips scratches or cracks

7. Check headliner for hand prints or

dirt

8.look at all your seats for rips or deformity

9. Look at carpet for fit

10. Look at gaps around doors hood and lifteget

Make sure all even best is use finger and look.

11. Open front doors look how close it comes to fender.

12. Open back doors look how close it comes to front doors.

13. Rubber molding around doors make sure all push pins are secure just tug on each one

14. Use flash light at front fender by hood hinges looking back towards door should be sealer in there.

15. Look at roof for any deformity not many people do that one.

Will add more little later. When ever i think of something else will add to it.
