As a long-time Explorer owner with over a decade of driving experience, I'm very particular about vehicle maintenance. The Explorer clearly specifies 5W-30 synthetic oil in the owner's manual. Don't cheap out with mineral oil—synthetic offers far better protection. It maintains optimal viscosity in summer heat without thickening and won't freeze in winter cold, ensuring smooth engine starts. Using incorrect oil (like higher viscosity grades) can cause engine overheating or accelerated wear—repairs will cost a fortune. During oil changes, I always check the dipstick for clean, clear oil and change every 8,000 km without delay. This regimen keeps the ride smooth and fuel-efficient. Bottom line: Follow Ford's recommendations religiously—avoid experimenting with internet hacks. Safety first.

Where is the Evaporative Emission System Leakage Fault Located?

Evaporative emission system leakage may be caused by damage to the evaporative emission system solenoid valve, damage to the evaporative emission system piping, or blockage of the filter at the air inlet at the bottom of the activated charcoal canister by dust and impurities. Below are the relevant details: 1. What is the evaporative emission system: The evaporative emission system, also known as the gasoline vapor emission control system, is one of the auxiliary control systems of the automobile engine and one of the automobile engine emission control systems. The evaporative emission system collects gasoline vapor from the fuel tank and directs it into the cylinders for combustion, thereby preventing gasoline vapor from being directly discharged into the atmosphere and causing pollution. At the same time, it controls the amount of gasoline vapor introduced into the cylinders for combustion according to the engine operating conditions. 2. Causes of damage and solutions: The damage may be due to reasons such as damage to the evaporative emission system solenoid valve or damage to the evaporative emission system piping. Since the actual vehicle cannot be seen, an accurate fault diagnosis cannot be made. It is recommended to contact the local 4S store for inspection and repair.

What is the normal fuel consumption for a car?

Larger engine displacement typically results in higher fuel consumption.
