Just purchased a 2021 Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring, which is a hybrid. Any recommendations on oil? I generally go with Mobil 1 0-20 for most all of my recent cars. However, now I have a fully-electric Mustang and the Corsair.
 
I have a hybrid Ford Maverick I am using Mobil 1 0-20. Mobil said it is good for 10,000 miles but I will not run that far before changing. I will go by the oil change computer and change when it gets to 25%.



I too, have a ‘22 Ford Maverick Hybrid. Also, use Mobil 1 0W20EP. I put 210,000 miles on a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. Same engine, same oil.

In your Corsair, you have the same 2.5L Hybrid engine as we have. However, your Corsair’s curb weight is a good 700-800 lbs more than our vehicles. I would consider bumping up to a Mobil 1 0/5W30 if I were lugging around that extra weight on the same engine all the time. That is, if I were out of warranty, and wished to keep that car long term.

How many miles do you have on the Maverick?

Not many. About 8,000. It is only used as a “Town Car” 😂. Home Depot runs, runs to the dump and a fishing vehicle. It is better to transport smelly fish in a truck bed instead of an SUV. Ask me how I know.

I was fortunate to get this one at the Ford “A” plan (after fighting with the dealership). 40-48 mpg in town, depending on ambient temperatures.

Ironically, our other vehicle is a lease Corsair. Used for trips.

If you ever get a chance see if your window sticker under options list 2.91 gears.
I'm getting phenomenal mpgs and so far I'm the only one I know that has that listed under the options.
Last pages of " Let's Talk New Vehicles" here if you haven't looked.
 
Lot of those Ford Escape hybrids did > 400,000 miles on the original motor in NYC yellow taxi fleets (before Uber/Lyft came in).
I'd bet they didn't get anything special in the oil department.
