  1. Yes.... I did. But I would use the same stuff that's already in there. Mine was not expensive from the Ford dealer. Like $12 for the gallon.
  2. My car came original with the Michelin Energy, and my mpg went down with my new Firestone Tires?. Only reason I didn't get the ENERGY's again was the prize...they're pretty expensive...though they lasted me 90 000 miles. Next time I might just get them again.
  3. I had the problem once, but I assumed I didn't put it tight enough.
  4. Maybe a brake caliber is stuck? Did you check if any of the wheels is hotter than the others after you drive a while?
  5. I wonder why they didn't just use the orange coolant. Would bother me too on such a new car. My 2014 sel has 115 000 ml and still original brake pads and rotors. But I also had to buy new solid lug nuts because of the swollen originals. I believe they swell from using the impact wrench on them...pretty sure if you would hand torque them to the specified 100 ft-lbf  , they would be OK.
  6. Good advise here. I used engine brake once on a pretty steep downhill and thought the rpms were way too high. Will not do it again. ( i used the transmission control switch on the side of the gearshift lever to activate grade assist, not the L gear)
  7. I stopped trusting the dealer, sometimes you get better service from a small independent repair shop. My dealer seems to have too many cars to work on and they are on a tight schedule, so it seems they work more like on one of these quick lube places. Just trying to get the car out as quick as possible. Since I've started doing my own service, I've noticed a lot of sloppy work was done from them. Like some screws are missing from the under engine cover and my lug nuts are swollen from overtightening with the impact gun.

    From the album: cmax

  9. The black inner part does not come off separately. I remember it is kind of hard to take the light out, you have to really push hard - more towards the front. And I would recommend to wear some protective cloves because you can hurt yourself while trying to remove the lamp.
  10. Supposedly the dealers make most of their money with servicing the cars, not by selling them....that's why they want to see you every 5000 miles?

    2013 cmax front

    I have one more photo. I don't know if you can buy this front here since it is for the euro model. Maybe check some euro websites and see if they would ship to US.
  12. I did mine last month with exactly the same oil and filter, also from walmart ?
  13. Wow, 15 k miles only...that's almost like new. ?
  14. Well, I don't like it as a food nor over here...please fix it guys.?
  15. My 2014 SEL came with MICHELIN Energy (most expensive tires ☹️ but lasted more than 90 k miles)
  16. I have a 2014 SEL and mine was low too around 65k miles. Filled it up and kept an eye on it....seems to be OK now at 107k miles. No idea why it was getting low.
  17. My 2014 has sync with the latest update (SYNC2 - V3.10) and the maps are still working?
  18. I found some oil spots under my 2014 cmax with 105 k miles. It's on passenger side in the front...any known leaking issues. Funny...just did the last car payment and now this.
  19. We got the Firestone Firehawk AS and are pretty happy with it. Didn't notice any difference in fuel economy yet.
  20. Got the recall letter today and checked mine...everything Ok and case for my car closed. Glad I don't have to spend my time at the dealer.
