  1. Great info everybody. I honestly feel much better now I also hope Adrian_L prediction is right!! thanks
  2. Is there any maintenance we can do to make this battery last about 200-250000 miles other than going to the dealer. I've taken it to the dealer only for their 100 point check at 10 and 20,000 miles and the battery is one of them but all it says on the list is "CHECKED" sorry, I feel they should've charged it up or something. I've had fords all my life and have traded them in still running good at over 200K with regular maintenance. My girlfriend talked me into getting this vehicle and it is great we are averging a combined 42mpg but, this battery worries me i'm always thinking do I trade it before the warranty is up (8/100,000) because even a used one is expensive. This is something I never said to myself before.... thanks for reading my question and please direct me to another post if there is one similar to this
  3. I have her reading all these great answers (priceless) thanks everyone no more warming up before she takes off
  4. How long should a hybrid be started before driving first thing in the morning? avg temp 20-40 degrees F my girlfriend will warm it between 5-7 minutes She's upset because I take off after about a minute I told her vehicles nowadays don't need to be warmed up that long i think she's wasting gas what does everyone else do ?
  5. I was told to use FIC with PEA. I use restore fuel system restorer every other fillup because i drive about 3000 miles a month back and forth to work and i only use shell gasoline. I looked on restore website but it says nothing about PEA Should I switch to another? what kind do you guys use? I have a 2013 cmax hybrid thanks
