ScubaDadMiami Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I already posted my 7,500 Mile Report. So, rather than repeat it, I will add a few comments, now that it is a year since I picked up my C-MAX from Al Packer Ford. My Fuelly numbers continue to rise as I have matured my techniques. We'll see how they come out after my 4,000+ mile trip that starts in a few days; I expect it to drop from all of the highway driving. Still, a Lifetime 50 MPG after a year is pretty great, especially with all of the air conditioned driving that I do! I just did the 10,000 mile service (at just over 9,000 miles), and I changed to 0W20 oil. It's too soon to say if there is any change for the better, from that. I had a few scratches, which I touched up using the Ford YZ/Oxford White touch up kit, and it came out great. Of course, I found another small chip right after that. So, I will be back to this at some point in the future. I just installed the A5 card to NAV, so that I can have any updates for my big cross country trip. No issues. I tested a few times since the install. It's been a great first year! hybridbear and salsaguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robfixit Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Where did you get the A5 card. I just purchased my CMax on Saturday, and I am not happy if it did not come with the latest map SD. I believe mine is A4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 The cards are just rolling out to Ford dealers, and many of them do not even know about it. I got mine from the same source mentioned in this post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian_L Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Thanks for the update. Let us know how the 0W20 oil works out for you. I'm planning on trying Mobil 0W20 when it is time for my first change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobJustBob Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks for the update. I am envious of the great gas mileage you "warm weather guys" get with your C-MAX. Here's wishing you continued good luck with the vehicle. ScubaDadMiami 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaDadMiami Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I am envious of the great gas mileage you "warm weather guys" get with your C-MAX.I have the reverse of most people. I get 60+ MPG in winter, when I don't run the air conditioner. It's the summer that lowers my MPG, which is right around 50 MPG. Not that I am complaining! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
