Hi Folk. Purchased 2010 Mountaineer at a ford dealer in NH summer of 2016 with 53,000 miles. One owner. Owner had all service work done at the dealer and supplied me with all service records from purchase to trade in. The vehicle is mint was never driven in winter No rust. Service records show oil and filter change every 5,000 miles with motorcraft 5W30 SB and Motor craft filter.
I am using QSUD with a Fram ultra filter at 5,000 miles.Vehicle now has 71000 miles. Inside the engine is spotless The 4.0 has a history of timing chain issues. I have NO noise at startup or running.
So does anyone have a 2008-2010 mountaineer or explorer with the 4.0. Any issues,what oil and filter are you using. What are your OCI. Most videos I have seen show bad mantince and sludge in engines. How many miles do you have on your engine. I have been thinking about this so any info you can give me would help me to stop dwelling on this. Thank you.
