You are in the Ford Expedition Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
| the Raybestos info. I agree totally with your advice to not let the pads wear to metal. | |

1) Squeaking sucks, and it shouldn't. I'm surprised the dealer won't help with this. "They should. 2) Rumble on start up - if it's right as the engine catches, so does mine. 3) Transmission - this isn't right and is the only problem of yours I'd be really concerned about. It needs service. Probably a reflash. Good luck! |

| Hi guys- I have asked this before, and am still wrestling with it. Have a 2004 Expedition and love it (except for the recent problem with the in-dash CD). My dealer says to change the oil every 3,500 miles. My local mechanic says every 4,000. The freaking owners manual from the manufacturer, FORD, says that for my kind of driving (no towing, no off-roading, normal conditions)every 5,000...what do I do? | |

| I've always been a 3,000 miler (dino oil) even though my driving doesn't call for it. On my 2003 I've been able to hold out to 4,000, allowing a little extra mileage for the synthetic blend | |
| I've recently had a 1995 Plymouth Voyager 160k that I repaced with a 2004 Expy 2 weeks ago, 2001 Ford Escape 51k, 03 Saturn 9500 miles and 96 Ford Taurus 131k. Bought all the cars new and have changed the oil myself. Before they turn 100k I changed the oil and filter every 4k. After 100k every 5k. Plymouth Voyager,Taurus Engine, and Escape engines all run like new. No Smoke, burning etc.. Consumers Reports did a test a few years ago and noticed no differnece in engine wear between 3k or 5k oil changes , so I decided to do 4k | |
| And I follow the manufacturer recommendations, of 5,000 miles. Never lost an engine yet. | |
|
I follow the manufacturer's recommendation too, but my manual says 7,500 miles. Engine Oil - A slippery subject Part 2 Steve, Host |

LOL I think the last time I posted was like 2 years ago. I dont know if any of you guys remember me but I have been on the forums for a while. So whats new you ask. Well My 97 Expedition is still in my possesion and has 130k miles on it now. Last time I posted it has like 95k. It still runs like new and still hasnt given me any problems. My f150 is still in my possession. It has 65k miles on it now also with 0 problems. I no longer have a 96 Mustang GT, I dont remember if I did the last time I posted. I have a 00 Mustang 3.8 now that Im in the process of selling. I bought it to drive daily and now it needs to go so I can get my hands on another GT. Life has been really busy lately but hopefully I can stick around again and continue answering questions. If theres any Ford chats going on you know Ill be there! I see a few familiar posters on here but it seems a lot has happened. |

| I always do my oil changes every 5-6k miles. It also depends on your driving style and where you live. My cars always get 93 octane fuel even with the rising fuel prices. I always used Mobil 1 oil. While it may be expensive, I feel that it is well worth it to have a 10 year old car that is like new. | |
