Not sure if this is the right section to post it in. But I had to change the oil in my C-Max and their are a few write ups to explain how it's done. I didn't see any youtube video's on it so I made one. Some of us are visual learners. Here is the link. Thank You Have a Good Evening.

If this was my daily and not my wife's I would defiantly be trying for some mileage records. Good luck with 712.

WooHoo I finally got the Video Up here is the link. Been really busy so it took me awhile to get time to edit. Let me know what you think. It's only a short 3 minute video. Have fun with your C-max's I think I got great MPG without trying and using the A/C

Well I made it down to carolina beach yesterday. I got 303 miles on the first half of the tank. Since I had my family with me I didn't put 50 psi in the tires or take the more eco friendly route. Took the PA Turnpike went through DC and than South on 95. It is downhill most of the way but going 72mph hurts mpg. And used air con a little more than 1/2 the trip. When I had I think 123 miles left on the trip I chickened out and filled up. The red fuel light was on. The car took 12.6 gallons. I think the miles to E was around 23....When I make the video Next week I will have the actual numbers. So I don't think I would have made it. If my family wasn't with me I would have taken a different route. Not used a/c and taken a gallon or 2 fuel jug with me in the car and just drove until I made it or ran out. I will update with the video Next week. Take care

Starting tomorrow my family is going on vacation! The destination is 679 miles away. I am going to do it on 1 tank of fuel. I know it will be harder since the car will be loaded with the family but this is still going to be a fun challange. Going from NE Ohio to Carolina Beach. We are going through DC and might stop to sight see there. I will also make a video on it. I have a small YouTube channel with mostly my Vibe GT video's on it but more C-Max ones coming up. Here is the link to my channel https://www.youtube.com/c/everydayCars Wish Me luck I will try to Post updates in this thread along the way to the Beach. Have a Great Day

My 2015 i can feel a little vibration when going from ev to gas especially when the gas engine isn't fully warmed up and when taking off really slow. But I don't expect it to be perfect. And when on the freeway I was also surprised by how much passing power the car has. The torque from the electric motor really helps a lot.

Odd but it's ok the Dealer fixed it. Turns out the control module needed reprogrammed for the door window switch. And now it work....after they told me what they did my wife was showing her mother the interior color changing lighting and put the headlights on and left them on for awhile. So when she went to leave she had to jump start the car. I'm guessing that messed something up. I probably could have disconnected the battery to reset everything and it might have fixed it.

My wife dropped it off at the dealership this morning. Hopefully it is a simple fix. It has been parked in the garage for a few days so it defiantly wasn't frozen.

Would it cancel out the noise the electric motors make. Kinda sounds like a jet taking off in EV only mode? If it is supposed to cancel that out then it definitely isn't working.

Is there a way to turn this off and on?

Here is a video of what it does. https://youtu.be/mWaUBGYVy68

Yea it sound like the motor is trying to move but something is blocking it from going down.

Anyone else have this problem. It just moves like a 16th of an inch. All other Windows work fine. I thought it was frozen but it's strange only the driver one doesn't work. At least the car is still under factory warranty.

Did a 140 mile round trip yesterday in 23 degree weather. And well not quite as good as my TDI but close. The trip computer said 37.4mpg on the trip their and 39.6mpg on the trip back. My TDI would have gotten 42mpg. And this is with 2 adults and 2 kids so I am happy with it. I can't wait to see the mileage when it gets warmer out. ​I did notice the EV mode is useless when going 72mph. All of this was mixed driving, 55 to 72 mph free way and aout 10 miles of back roads. The total EV miles was around 42 for the trip so not to bad. I did notice it has great passing power but the gas engine is pretty noisy and when cold going slow the gas engine is shaky like the rpms are to low which I thought it would be smoother. When we test drove the car it was in the 40's outside and it didn't do this. Anyways have a good weekend.

That looks awesome I'll look into it.
