I bought four Mavericks for our company because of everything I saw you do from the start to your one-year anniversary. We have one '22, one '23, and two '24s. Even the oldest truck, at 79,800 km (50,000 miles), is still getting 6.9L/100 (35 mpg). Not bad for a pick-up. Other than recalls for minor issues, they have been great!! I love using the ECO mode and always try to get al least ½ of my trip distance on ELECTRIC. My fuel bill for the company has been cut in half seeing I used to drive a 2005 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi. Thank you Sam!!
Tech tip, use a plastic cup 🥤 and cover the oil filter when removing the oil 🛢 filter.😊 it will catch the oil.
Nice one
Thank you !!
Good video and I'm not a hater but no frickin way 13k miles!
Great video. Just did my first oil change on my '23 hybrid at 5000 miles. Tough to break the old habit of letting engine warm up to operating temp (like on a full gas engine) on the hybrid for recheck oil level. Did do the press the gas pedal trick to get the engine to run oil through. Caution to those who press the pedal to run. Don't press pedal to floor or engine will bump high RPM (high idle for a few seconds) at first run after oil change. Just lighly tap pedal to run engine after change. Not to the floor. Thanks Sam for all the great Mav videos.
Good video. I have a 2022 Ford Escape hybrid, the same engine and similar cover. I used to change my own oil, but after turning 70, decided to let my Ford dealer do it. They will use my supplied oil and filter Mobil One. They charge me less than $40 for the "works"which includes tire rotation and fluid top off. To me it is worth it especially with the bottom cover.
Me too!
A couple days ago I took my Maverick hybrid back to the dealer for recalls. Oil change, $110, "I'll do it myself".
If you pay $40 for 0w-20 and $15 for a filter and then pay them $40 then that’s still $95. I don’t see the major savings when the dealer can just do everything
@@naviharriram9785 I have the choice of the oil. I have used Mobil 1 since it came out and never had problems, I'm not sure what oil they use. To me frequent oil changes with a great quality oil is the best way to prolong the life of the car.
@@naviharriram9785 Most importantly, I trust myself. No matter where you go, the lowest paid guy is put on oil changes. They're also often in a hurry. I can't tell you how many times I've had my oil under filled and even over filled. Over filled in a giant PITA. I've also had double gasketed filters and fill caps left off. Plus I can look around at other things while I'm doing the work. Radio on, crack beer, work on vehicle.
Great job! About to do my first one on my Maverick and it’s got almost 13,000 miles too and the oil doesn’t look that bad either but it’s been 18 months since I got it so figured I should. I only ever use full synthetic the last 15 years doing my own oil changes and love it!
Great video, simple and to the point. I also like your explanations. I have 22k miles and the dealer charged $167 for oil change and tire rotation. RIP OFF. I'm back to changing the oil myself and letting Big O tire rotate my tires for free. Thanks again.
Wow, I can now feel even better about my maverick purchase. I can even do the oil changes myself seeing this. It's so easy compared to my older Prius. No special parts. Thank you!
Tech tip, put a disposable plastic cup over the oil filter and unscrew it. The oil will go in the cup, keeping everything nice and clean...😊
Disposable?! Pshhh! You mean my cup that's part of my oil drain kit I use every time.
Wow that is one easy access oil filter! I got mine at 12K miles and the oil sticker said I should change it at 20k and I was thinking "that cant be right!" now I know. I learned a lot including checking the oil life, I cannot believe modern cars are so smart. I still have my 245k mile 02 Tacoma so when I got the Maverick I thought "I dont need all this fancy new technology" but I secretly like it!
It’s best to change the oil early for the first one as the engine has just been broken in. 2500 miles is when the first oil change for Non hybrid ICE cars should be done. For hybrids break in oil change is 4000 miles since engine is typically on 2/3rds of the time. Car companies will recommend later oil change as they want the car to last only for a little longer than warranty.
I really appreciate your succinct, technically knowledgeable and well edited videos on the Maverick. The build date for my 2022 XLT hybrid is the last week of October; I can't wait to get it. In the meantime, I am continuing to drive my 2016 PHEV Ford C-MAX. Given my driving habits, it's easily possible to go more than 20,000 miles between oil changes. The ICE engine simply doesn't run that often. And with regenerative braking, the brake pads seem to last forever. The advantages of electrified vehicles have become hard to ignore.
I always put less oil than called for while on ramps. I always add the last bit of oil while on level ground. It makes a huge difference.
Very glad you take the time to fill the oil filter. The amount of time without oil pressure due to an empty filter is measurable. Important simple step you can do you minimize unnecessary wear on the engine.
I de-ramp too before calling it good but I usually wait an hour, if possible, before doing the final check.
A battery drill works well for the cover screws, don't get carried away though
Great video. Thank you. Only thing I'll do different on my first Maverick oil change will be using a Wix filter. Appreciate all these tips.
Every new vehicle I ever owned which is nearing 50 had the OEM filter put on by a gorilla....all of them
I hope when I get to the Maverick it is like yours...no need to be that tight. As others said your videos are to the point and drama free 👍👍
Yep, King Kong put mine on. Had to use a filter tool and some ummp.
@stevethomas760
My drain plug was way too tight from the factory... the worst I have ever seen. Maybe the green sealing ring stuck????
The filter was over cranked too and looked like a lawn mower filter.
Just took mine to have oil changed , 15,000 miles , computer said it had 13% oil life remaining . As best I can tell , The amount of time you spend driving in electric really changes how quickly you need to change your oil. Computer says we have averaged almost 52 miles per gallon over the 15,000 miles .
Changed my son’s oil after he always had shops do it. 6 different kinds of fasteners holding the belly pan on. Can’t trust anyone to do the work correctly
To the point and simple. Thank you
My owners manual for the 2023 hybrid shows bringing the front tires straight back to the rear and the rear tires criss-cross to the front when rotating.
I love that the Maverick tells you when oil change is needed!! I’m at 8,500 miles now with mine and it tells me I have approximately 1,600 miles left before needing my first oil change. I drive the turbo engine. I ignore the reminder calls from my Ford dealership because otherwise, I would unnecessarily change my oil too often and too soon. I super love the colorful decal on your Maverick, BTW.
Great video. My 2023 hybrid XL is scheduled to be built 12/12/22. Looking forward to working on a new vehicle.
of those miles on this truck how many where electric miles ? thanks for the great videos.
Would you recommend adding a fumoto or stahlbus oil valves for Future easier changes?
do you have 2023 ford maverick hybrid transmission oil change video?
There is one point you may have missed: oil degrades over time, even without engine running. So you still should change it after a year or so, no matter what.
When you checked the oil before the change, did you notice what the oil level was?
Good info, my change oil light came on at 3,900 miles but it was approaching one year. Should you change it regardless of miles within one year? Thanks
You should change the oil when the instrument cluster says to regardless
I'd like a video on a detailed multi-point inspection. Can't find one anywhere.
Does the eCVT transmission on the Maverick Hybrid have drain and fill plugs also? I own a 2010 Escape Hybrid and although the owner's manual omits changing the fluid and leaves it up to Ford, I change mine every 60,000 miles. I would really like to know because I want to buy one of these trucks, but there are a few details I still want to be satisfied about.
Turbo Hybrid type engines require slightly less mileage to do an oil change.
Thanks for the review!
You are right about the 40%-60% rule for Hybrids.
The gas engine simply doesnt run as often as a non-Hybrid does, so longer oil drain intervals are allowed.
I would note, however, you should STILL CHECK your Oil at least every other fuel fill up to be sure you arent missing any potential oil leaks or burning of oil.
This is becoming more of a problem these days with longer oil change intervals!
People are getting lazy in this regard these days.
Do you have a video on trans oil change?
no
Wonder why the coolant level was down that much.
Dudes in AZ and it's hot af there. Normal for some coolant to evaporate when it's 120 degrees for days on end.
Barely loosen the oil filter then use a red plastic cup to fit over, squeeze gently and continue to unscrew. The cup will catch the oil dripping from the filter- no mess and no more "It's just how it goes" ;-)
Thanks for the video, looks like something I can do easily at home as long as I have all the tools. Also, 10k+ oil life is nice.
when you say 5.7 qrts. does that mean 5 qrts and 7 ozs? or does .7 mean 70% of a quart which would equal to 22oz?
5.7 quarts means 5.7 quarts. Yes, .7 means 70% of a quart.
thank you for answer@@TDTVGarage
13K miles for the 1st oil change is asking for trouble. I changed the oil at 700 miles on my 2024 Corolla hybrid, and there was some metal debris in the oil.
If I owned one, on the first oil change, I'd install inspection ports for the filter and drain. After all, with luck, oil changes will be over 90 % of maintenance. My 11 y old present vehicle has these.
It would've been awesome to have the filter type in the description or video
I've heard that the Eco-boost oil tends to get fuel in it. The Hybrid is much better in that regard. I'm looking for to our Maverick showing up very soon. Been watching your updates on this model for quite some time now.
Looks nice and easy! Thanks for sharing!
Why was the coolent low at 13K Miles ?
Shouldn’t have to add unless you have a leak, it doesn’t evaporate in a sealed system.
On the contrary, here in Arizona with extreme heat it is not "odd" to need to top off coolant annually - at least not in the neat 30 years we have had vehicles here.
What brand and color Coolant did you use
Great and very useful video. Is the air filter and cabin filter relatively easy to check/ replace on the hybrid? The Ford Transit van nearly requires disassembly of van to check air filter.
We have a 2023 Lariat Looking for SXM radio install. Everything says the Lariat package can accommodate the APP, but cannot figure out how to do it
Where do you get the manual you reference in the video? Seems my owners manual doesn't say squat about inspection.
Longer oil change intervals makes sense except for the break in period would you agree?
The idea that oil needs to be changed faster for "break in" is an old dad's tale. A myth.
my instructor said to never top off any of your fluids especially the brake fluid, you would want to bleed out all of the break fluid and then refill it. but idk about the coolant ill ask him when i get to class tomorrow lol
Since getting the Maverinc Hybrid, I feel I've been a lot easier on the engine than I was on my Corolla. Not sure if its because I want to minimize fuel consumption on the Hybrid or because I don't think the Ford can handle the abuse that the Toyota could lol. Either way I'm just shy of 10,000 km (6200 mi) and I'm at about 50% oil life remaining. I'm probably good until next April the way and amount that I'm driving.
Follow those computer estimates if you want to meet the 100k standard...only 😂
Did you buy chance run an oil test? That would be awesome to see.
Didn't feel the need to prove anything.
@@TDTVGarage So the initial ware from all the new parts does not cause extra debris in the oil? Not trying to be obnoxious just ordered a new maverick and don't want to waste money having a quicker first oil change if I can go buy the dash.
Some people are hyper worried about things, we just aren't. We change the oil when we're told either by the computer or the owners manual. It works out. We've had two more oil changes since this video, the sun still rises.
This was excellent, thank you!
This video is a great tutorial and I can't wait until my first oil change. Would you recommend spraying some rubber rejuvenator on the rubber gaskets and whatnot in the suspension or you're under there? Scotty kilmore recommends it, but I'm always open too new information.
We tend to shy away from products that are considered "dressings" or "coatings". While we don't know of the specific one(s) you refer to, these often purport to help but sometimes the chemicals in them can actually cause rubber and plastics to degrade over time.
I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma SR that uses 0W-20 synthetic oil. I drive between 2500 to 3000 a year. I was told seeing how I do not drive allot of miles it was best to get my oil changed once a year. I'm wanting to trade for a 2024 Ford Maverick XL and wondering if I shouldn't still get a once a year oil change in it as well.
Most of the sources that tell us we should change our oil once a year regardless of mileage are people who sell oil changes. Most of the time it really just isn't necessary.
@@TDTVGarageToyota recommends this in the owners manual.
They sell oil changes ;)
@@TDTVGarageWorks for me. I don't mind getting fresh oil and filter each year instead of my oil going through 3 or 4 winters and 3 or 4 summers before I get 10,000 miles for the required oil change.
Nice video as always. Considering that you let the oil go over 13,000 mi, and you will probably do that again, I'm disappointed in your choice of oil filters.. fram could be possibly the worst, and considering you're letting the oil go so long I think you could have made a better choice, just about any choice would have been better.
If you want to keep your engine in tip top shape, the Ford techs I trust say you should change it quite often. Of course, many of us got the recall that may replace the block...
Planning to buy one exactly like yours (probably next year 2023). How is the reliability on this type of hydrid engine from Ford? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
Well I hope you can find one, the 2023 order banks have closed and they sell like hot cakes. They're are very reliable.
Fumoto drain valve. I have one on my Ram. They don’t leak.
Great video on the oil change. What do you think about cutting holes in the cover where the drain plug and oil filter could be reached without removing the cover?
What are the size of those bolts you remove in 1:28? Got an oil change at an oil shop and they never put those bolts back. They’ve lost it…
The Ford OEM oil filter is good for maybe 7,500 miles max...
Great video! Question for you, my hybrid maverick came from factory with oil filter wayyy over torqued. Ive tried muscle with rubber gloves and my oil filter wrench with no success. Any tips on getting off an over torqued oil filter?
Did you finally figure out out to get the filter off. I haven't had to change oil yet. I have the 3 claw adjustable oil wrench that clamps on filter and works well. i have seen others on the tube using it. bought at walmart 3 yrs ago
Great video. Thanks. I'm getting ready to do my 1st oil change on my 2023. Is the front suspension greasable? Thanks!
No. The concept of "greasable" suspensions went away decades ago
@@TDTVGarage Well, this is the 1st "non-truck" vehicle I have had in years. The last was a 2022 Silverado HD with 11 grease zerks.
What fram oil filter did you use ?
Thank you for the video.
Do you have to clean the fan for the battery (if there is one)?
The hybrid battery is liquid cooled.
You should Always get this done at the dealer. How else are you going to know that your truck needs 2000 bucks worth of work you never suspected
If you know what to look for, you can see it yourself.
What brand of oil is best for just a Maverick 2022?
Brand is irrelevant so long as it meets the standards set forth in the owner's manual.
Sam, I just finished my second oil change on my Lariat hybrid and found a light, slightly darker coating of oil on part of the bottom of the ECVT housing. This oil was not there for my first oil vhange.
At the 1:50 mark. it looks like you have the same discoloration. Did you notice it during your oil change or during any subsequent oil change?
BTW, how can I check my ECVT oil level?
is the ring around the oil drain bolt reusable or do you need a new one every time you do the oil change?
It’s part of the bolt. It’s important not to over tighten. I use a torque wrench and tighten to factory specifications.
Will this void your warranty? How do you log your information for the warranty?
Regular maintenance is good for your warranty. There is no logging required. You keep your receipts to prove it was done if it ever comes up.
@@TDTVGarage Thanks you have a new subscriber.
Thanks for the video. To each his own. Oil changes are cheap maintenance to protect your investment. The next thing we are gonna be told is lifetime engine oil like lifetime transmission fluid🙄
Ford dealer wants $130 for an oil change. Most folks probably wouldn't consider that "cheap".
Did you add any oil before the first oil change ?
No, was not necessary.
What does the owners manual say on oil changes. The hybrid has a 2.5 so why wait so long?
The owners manual states (as discussed in the video) that your oil change interval is determined by the computer which monitors engine usage, miles and other factors to continually grade the oil condition. They can go up to 15-16k miles with low impact usage. As stated in the video ours would have been happy to go several thousand more miles, but we decided to change it earlier than it recommended. It is none the less not that long a time frame for a hybrid as again discussed in the video, the engine is only running about 50-60% of driving miles, so it's not the same change interval as a conventional ICE vehicle (which by the way most are recommending 10k oil change intervals these days).
Thanks!
Surprise that dirty on cover plate wasnt wash out before putting back?!
Can I use 0.7 qt. of 0W40 that I have on hand and want to use up? And then use 0W20 from a 5qt jug without doing any damage to the hybrid engine?
I'm not an expert but generally yes. If you get technical some oil charts recommend running thicker oil in the summer and thinner in the winter. But oil is cheap
It’s best to change the oil early for the first one as the engine has just been broken in. 2500 miles is when the first oil change for Non hybrid ICE cars should be done. For hybrids break in oil change is 4000 miles since engine is typically on 2/3rds of the time. Car companies will recommend later oil change as they want the car to last only for a little longer than warranty.
I don't see how you would need to be topping off coolant at almost 14,000 miles. Like, why would it be "burning" coolant or be building pressure to send coolant out the overflow hose? So if you do another oil change at 28,000 miles, you going to be topping off coolant again?
Here in Arizona with extreme heat in the summers exceeding 110 degrees daily it's pretty common to have to top off coolant in our cars at least once or twice a year. It didn't raise any red flags here, not out of the ordinary.
@@TDTVGarage Thanks Sam. Question? I have the same hybrid and my coolant levels are at minimum level. What brand/type do you recommend to fill up a bit in each? Thanks again for all you do!
Thanks for the great video! I love and appreciate all your content. Do you have a recommendation for which coolant to use for the 2 reservoirs? Thanks!
The owners manual has specs you can follow.
My oil change notification came up at 5,000 miles exactly.
From your vehicle/Ford Pass app or your dealership?
@@TDTVGarage On my dash display. Don't use Ford Pass at all.
My Kuga phev says I have 3 months until oil has to be changed. Car is then 10 months old. I have driven 1500 mil. Ford Service is not until 3000 mil. And I use it as a phev and in between as a hybrid. I dont drive hard so...???
15-screws on that shield is ridiculous…why not have a smaller one easy to remove over the drain and filter like other vehicles?? (Toyota, Scion, Mazda, Hyundai). They have 3-4 screws or push pins. And it’s 5,000 miles or 6-months unless you like having blown head gaskets. (Prius owners who only do 10,000 mile oil changes have learned this the hard way)
I think you might be talking about the 2.0 turbo engine? For the hybrid, the extended oil changes ring true. My old vehicle was a 2012 Honda Accord for cylinder, no turbo, with the same computer oil life calculator. It had 121000 miles on it when someone turned right into me head on and totaled it. I always used the computer suggested mileage and always got over 10000 miles per pill change with full synthetic oil. That engine never burned a drop of oil.
Changing the oil and filter is more than about the oil breaking down, it's about changing both well before they break down. Hybrids don't use the gas engine as much so a 12,000 mile oil change intervals might be ok, but a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine (like the 2.0 EcoBoost) should be changed at 5,000 or sooner if hauling, towing or extended idling. So oil changes are not an exact science except for contamination like gas or metal that might buildup in the oil ....the oil itself should still be good.
What is cheaper a new engine or 50 dollars worth of oil Engine only 6 thousand dollars plus oil
13.6 first oil change okay
Dont floor the acceleration lol, just put it in Sport mode
I don’t think anyone should wait 15,000 miles to do an oil change even if it does run half the time every time you start and stop you’re dumping gas into your oil carbon buildup plus if we bought this vehicle, we’re probably trying to get it to last 300,000 miles And if you want to last that long, you gotta do your maintenance intervals sooner
Booyah 👊 😁 👍 🇺🇲 🇲🇽🇨🇦
The 3000-mile recommendation came from the oil companies. Taxi companies in NYC as far back as the 70's regularly changed oil in their cars every 7500 miles.
Oil is cheap...engines are expensive.
A starting and stopping engine is may more stressful than a constant running engine.
13000? wtf!
I guess the 13,000 mile oil changes that you attribute to for this vehicle may work it may not. You will see when it get to 100,000 miles 120 thousand miles and to see if this questionable engine will be running. An extra oil change is cheap insurance to ensure longevity on a vehicle.
That's the notion that people who make money doing oil changes keep repeating to the consuming public.
I think you ought to send the oil off at the 13000 mile oil change to Blackstone labs to give in analysis of the oil to get it true reading right now that's just your personal opinion with the oil change and my personal opinion was different
The Hybrid drivetrain is a throw away powertrain system. After about 80,000 miles you will need to replace the so called clutch pack between the Engine and electric motor which needs removal of the entire engine at the cost of $6000.00! Also if you get the Ford extended warranty it is completely worthless. They will not cover the clutch pack because it is a wear item. Stay away from this truck!!
I drive a Mitsubishi Montero, I didn’t need to watch this. My computer doesn’t tell me when it’s time, it forgets how to idle.
Your "the engine only runs 1/2 the time" logic is FLAWED. The most engine wear is during ICE starting. So the ICE in a hybrid system actually needs more frequent oil changes that a traditional "full time" ICE.
I can't believe you used a FRAM oil filter.. They are one of the worst filters on the market. I would clearly use a high quality filter if I am going to drive 13,000 miles. I use a high quality filter for all miles and all engines. There are plenty of of RUclips videos on oil filters.
The fram tough guard filter he used is rated for synthetic oil and 15000 miles. It's not the same as the old orange ones that ruined engines in the past.
You are 100% wrong on the oil change interval. Under the Scheduled Maintenance section of the 2022 Ford Maverick owners manual page 436 it states… “Never exceed one year or 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil change intervals.” So you were over 3k miles above this guidance.
No. It states on page 436, "This interval may be up to one year or 10,000 mi (16,000 km), hybrid vehicles could exceed 10,000 mi (16,000 km)." Then it stipulates, "If your information display resets prematurely or becomes inoperative,.......Never exceed one year or 10,000 mi (16,000 km) between oil change intervals."
What it says is that if the oil monitor is not working, is not able to calculate oil life, or you accidentally lost data by prematurely resetting it - THEN - default to a maximum of 10,000 to be safe.
