That's part of one of the biggest climate issues in Phoenix, the heat island effect. Like you said we have A/C systems discharging heat, concrete & black asphalt absorbing and radiating heat and very little vegetation to provide cover to the ground below.

The 212 temperature value you're referencing is Engine Oil Temperature, which runs hotter than Engine Coolant Temperature. You don't need to start sweating until you get to 245 degrees. I have had my GT350 up to 255 degrees during the middle of the Phoenix summer (110+ degrees ambient) in low...

Not sure if anyone else is seeing this when off-roading. The front fender flares are causing self-inflicted paint damage on the rear door handles.

FEMCO makes a better and lower cost option. I have it on my 2.7 and it's great.

If you go get your oil changed right now you'll have an engine overfilled by 1 quart because all the materials are calling for 7 quarts. Do it yourself until Ford sorts out this misprint mess.

Was coming in here to see if this was posted yet. Another member confirmed their 2.7 only drained and took 6 Quarts. Ford has a very problematic misprint on their hands.

Thank you for sharing, I thought I was crazy or was experiencing a fluke. Ford needs to update their oil capacity materials before issues start popping up.

Took a look at it today, identified the issue and solved it. Issue: Ford did not put loctite on the castle nut holding the tripod mount secure. (The loctite shavings you see in the pictures is from me.) After a few off-road trips of using the mount, it will become unstable or unusable all...

Wanted to provide some feedback on the "Accessory Ready" 1/4-20 tripod mount on the dash. It worked well for two trips off the pavement. However when mounting a GoPro before the third trip the damn thing rattled loose to the point the GoPro was dancing around. I had to throw a sticky mount on...

Am I doing it right? I prefer to put BBQ on the MIC top to enhance the honeycomb rather than the engine though.

All the hysteria over one vehicle overheating is hilarious. Good riddance to anyone canceling their order over this. Good luck going to another brand, you're just as likely to experience an assembly line defect.

I wonder what the FE owners are getting and when. The Mach-E FE owners kit was cool.

The oil pan and the oil dipstick handle appear to be correct for the U725 engine. Can't say for certain if the oil dipstick rod itself without comparison is correct. Correct, I filled an empty 5 quart jug and about a 1/4 of a milk jug. Since I did not have an accurate measurement of the milk...

Ford bumped up the Bronco 2.7 to 7.0 quarts. I have been trying to find any official commentary on it and this TBN article is all I can find. It's troubling that they state, "Relatedly, Bronco’s 2.7L EcoBoost requires seven quarts of oil, up from the Ranger’s six, to protect parts while you do...

Just scheduled a service appointment for next week so they can drain and refill to validate my 2.7 is only taking 6.0 Quarts per the dipstick. He called back to a tech and they verified that the Bronco 2.7 takes 7.0 quarts of oil per the service manual.

That's my worry at this point. Did I get a Frankenstein 2.7 from the factory (dipstick/oil pan issue) or is the Bronco 2.7 only a 6.0 quart engine like the rest of the 2.7s? Did you even look at the picture? The oil level is half way up the dipstick. The oil marks are half a foot down from...

Correct, I cranked it afterwards (both times). First oil change with 7.0 quarts was still way above the maximum fill dot. Second time with 6.0 quarts it moved slightly below the maximum fill dot between it and the top of the hash marks. I won't be topping it off since it is still above the hash...
