All used conventional oil changed every 7,500 miles. Not one has had a motor problem.
/ rant....
The Escape was an Ex sales executive's car. I bought it in August with 130k on it. I drive 70+ miles a day to and from work, and my inlaws live 160 miles away in PA. We frequently drive out there to visit (going this weekend). She will have 200k on it before i know it!
Post pics of progress this weekend!!!
woah woah woah. you run conventional 7500 miles between changes? filter and all ( i know people that change filters only inbetween oil changes)
thats just scary. call me old school.
you all's 5.4 down talk is getting me discouraged. im getting an 06-08 f150 with the 3 valve. i know of its problems, but the 5.4 is a good motor. bar none.
...wakes up from a looooong nap from Stangnet.
You're building another one?
Honestly, it doesn't.
My truck has been one helluva truck. I've only replaced the exhaust manifolds, a $30 vacuum line, the starter and the positive battery cable in 123,000 miles. All the front ball joints were done because one went bad, so I just did all.....
90K on my 6.8L and it knocks when cold!

I'm not down talking the 5.4L at all. I have NO problems with mine. We each have the older 2V 5.4L's
If you can fork over the extra cash for a brand new 2009 2010, I'd do so before getting a used 04-08. I tried buying a couple 04-06's at auction, but the miles were high, so I backed out of that thought. I don't want something that somebody has possibly screwed up. Most places advise you to pull the heads if the plugs break. This tool was like 60 bucks and pulling the head would be 1200-2000.
i knew about the plugs breaking. is it just the 5.4 though? my dad has a 4.6, will his plugs break?
im not big on the body style of 2009+ but im looking at them anyways. i could almost spring for an no option added on lariat brand new.
very nice progress with the car
