  1. What to do when switching from synthetic blend to full synthetic oil?

    My first oil change was done using synthetic blend. I plan to do the second oil change and subsequent oil changes using full synthetic. Is there anything special that I need to do before going full synthetic? Of course I will change the oil filter always. But is it really necessary to do a...
  2. Is Motorcraft 5W30 Full Synthetic available in 5-QT jugs like Synthetic Blend?

    I see synthetic blend advertised all over the place in 5QT jugs, but how about full synthetic? Does it just come in quarts? If available in 5QTs, where to buy? I'm looking to switch from synthetic blend to full synthetic but also looking for the most economical way to do so. I'm only...

    I just completed a trip from Michigan to South Dakota and back for a total of 1905 miles. I now have 4276 miles on my 2025 Lariat with a 2.7L. Up until this trip most of my driving was non-highway. I am very satisfied with an average 27.1 MPG for the trip (see picture). I was expecting maybe...

    Several Ford dealers in my area offer mobile oil change service along with other services. Does anyone know if they do it the conventional way by draining from the oil pan or do they use a top-side oil extractor? It seems to me the oil extractor would be easier given the oil filter is also...
  7. Can oil be changed with the truck on the ground?

    I just purchased a 2025 Ranger Lariat with a 2.7L V6. I'm at 300 miles and plan to do the first oil and filter change at 1000 miles. After that I plan to change oil and filter every 5000 miles. A couple of questions: 1. Can I change the oil without having to raise the truck? I have ramps...
