OEM FORD Brake pads

  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).

Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”

Pros: brake pads lasted 100k miles
Cons: brake pads at the limit
Vehicle: Ford Fusion
Mileage: 100000 km

Sailun Tires

They were both originally Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 touring all-season. They replace with with a Sailun Inspire 215/55R17 XL. The XL has a different load weight and a different PSI. From my research online, this could be caused by the tire speeds not being the same and the tires being mismatched. Does this seem possible to you? I could call the tire place and ask if they'd honor a replacement because they put a non-matching, non-compatible tire on the car... It's essentially new as I've only driven maybe 500 miles max on that tire.

Pros: different load weight, different PSI
Cons: non-matching, non-compatible tire
Vehicle: Ford Fusion
Mileage: 500 km

OEM FORD Cabin filter

The cabin filter isn't difficult on any year fusion. It takes me 10-15 minutes. The engine air filter is 2-3 minutes. You can buy the filters for $60 or less.

Pros: easy, quick replacement
Cons: beware super cheap ones
Vehicle: Ford Fusion

VALVOLINE Engine oil

Im currently using it in my car (2017 Ford Fusion 2.0 Ecoboost), and just made a long road trip around 2k miles in the summer heat, some around 100 degrees. The oil looks fine, not really dirty in my case.

Pros: oil looks fine
Cons: not really dirty

OEM FORD Water pump

they slapped the fucking water pump behind the timing cover ?? Just go German engineering and make an electric water pump so you aren’t doing a chain service to do a water pump.

Cons: poor water pump placement, expensive repair

Goodyear Tires

I have two sets of these on a pair of 2013,2015 Ford Fusions. 225-50-17.

One tire got a sidewall bubble at a couple months old. Walmart refused to help because I didn't have them install the tires but I suspect they would have come up with other reasons like road hazard to avoid a warranty claim. I was able to talk to Goodyear and have one of their company stores inspect. The cause was a crack at the inner liner splice and air migration into the carcass. They refunded me my purchase price.

A tire on my other car had the same problem in almost the exact same spot also less than a year old. Same result.

Tires are currently 2-3 years old and they have weathering and sidewall cracking. (Parked outside in Michigan). Multiple tires are developing something that looks like a heat ring to varying degrees.

Pros: refunded purchase price
Cons: sidewall bubble, sidewall cracking
