Used them for 3 years on an Explorer in New England and they're definitely worth it. Never skimp on tires or brakes.
Reviews of spare parts for Ford
I live in WNC I run 5 30 mobil 1 high mileage year round. Motorcraft filter
295,000 miles using Castrol GTX high mileage and fram XG filter
While Ford said you can use 5-20 I know where I live it gets warmer than 86 degrees so in my F150 I run 5-30 or 10/40.
I’ve had no issues with synth and have 255k on it.
Also…I would recommend a Motorcraft filter.
I used the gimmicky Bosch Platinum 4+ plugs which solved that problem (no more CELs) but sometimes idle is still a bit rough.
I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).
Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”
I have Michelin Agilis Crossclimate tires on my Etransit so the truck eats tires but it just wears fast not chewed up like that.
Ford fusion, shitty undersized brakes for the car
Just put those same ones on my 96 f250 and they're soft AF.
DO NOT buy a red top Optima. They haven't been good or worth the price in like 15 yrs.
