  1. Hello - i must to change oli - can i use:

     

    GULF 5W-20 API SN, GL-G - but i do not have any information about ford spec. (in Poland)

     

    On Ebay.com i USA:

    Gulfpride® Advanced Fuel Efficient Synthetic Blend Motor Oils are designed for today’s higher revving, hotter running engines. SAE 5W-20 meets Ford’s latest performance standard WSS-M2C945-A.

     

    (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gulf-Gulfpride-Advanced-Fuel-Efficient-Synthetic-Blend-Motor-Oil-5W-20-Quart-/261932725754?hash=item3cfc6835fa:g:C7gAAOSwk0pVgG~F&vxp=mtr)

     

    Is it a official specification?? 

  2. Manual:

     

    • Coolant Temp – Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature, the level indicator will be white and will be in the normal range (between H and C). If the engine coolant temperature exceeds the normal range, the level indicator will change to red to indicate that the engine is overheating. Stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible, turn off the vehicle and let the engine cool. The thermometer indicator next to the gauge will illuminate in blue or white to indicate the following (not available for Energi vehicles): • Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously when the indicator is blue.

     

    Note: During silent key start mode, the thermometer indicator will be blue, but the gasoline engine will not run. This is the result of the vehicle computer allowing the engine to be cooler during the silent key start period. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem with your vehicle. After the first engine start the indicator will turn white when the gasoline engine is warm enough to turn off.

    • White thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is warm enough to allow EV operation. If the vehicle operates on battery power long enough, it is possible that the gasoline engine may need to run to keep the system warm. In this case, the thermometer indicator will revert back to blue.

  3. Blue thermometer - This indicates that the hybrid system is not warm enough to allow EV operation. The gasoline engine will typically run continuously when the indicator is blue

     

    To increase fuel economy I have to add one more heater - in EV coolant hose. 

     

    My heater is to protect engine in cold weather :)

  4. Today. 

     

    Outside temp - 32F, Engine temp - 32F, time - 50 min, left side of engine - 135F, Right side of engine - 120F. My view - coolant temp - did not show anything - I do not know why. I can't find temperature sensor. 

     

    but to improve EPG  you  need to raise temperature of inverter to :) 

     

    But this is not my priority :)

    Now I must to check how does it work. 

     

    I mean I know how but I need to check in very low temperatures. Today is only 32F - to 122F in 15-20 minutes (at heater). 

     

    Where is the engine block temperature sensor?? - temperature display did not show high temperature. 

  6. Hello 

    I want to buy engine block heater in Poland but i do not know what is the size of the thread. I found Part 11409 NPT heater - 3/4" (the seller write that it physically measures to 1"). Could you write what is the thread size of original heater?? Thanks for help.
