I can't see that being a thing. You could potentially do that while on the road and it would lead to a world of issues. Honestly never put the multimeter on the battery and I have been driving like this now for over a year and a half even through a harsh winter. Seems to be the solution for me.

Oops, filled it through the oil filter opening. I got impatient. I found that "1 1/16" socket worked best for the oil filter housing.

Is the oil filter housing opening also where you fill the car with oil?

I found something online while searching, let me check again. My bad, it's not a full skid plate. https://www.carid.com/2022-ford-explorer-bull-bars/?filter=1&field%5B368381%5D%5B%5D=Yes

Nice mod. I'd like a full metal skid plate though. 1 large piece of ice on the highway and say goodbye to that plastic oil pan, I've seen it happen with metal oil pans as well.

Found it in this video ...

Got a link to that?

Yeah just watched a Explorer ST oil change video, a bit of a tight squeeze at the top there to get the filter out and the oil in. That plastic oil pan and drain plug though, ewww, I might have to get a proper skid plate.

Does that filter look right? I'm used to the small dome shaped metal cases on a 4 cylinder car. I've never owned anything above 4 cylinders in my life this is my first SUV.

I was planning to change the oil every 6K miles/ 10k KM, using amsoil signature series 5w-30 and an amsoil filter. Just have to figure out which filter to order. I do the same thing with my Focus RS using the same brand of oil.

What kind of oil and filter are people putting in these? I'm not even sure what oil it takes and how much of it, 5W30 I would assume? I would prefer to stick to Ams Oil like I do in my 2017 RS. Also how do you reset the oil service life in the EXST?

Yeah I get that as well in mine, it's the electronic steering 100%.

Yeah I find the new Sync system absolute dog shit. It's slow to start up, sometimes at night it takes it 30 seconds to switch to night mode even though I have that enabled by default. The touch keyboard is slow and often freezes when typing in addresses. If this is what $70k CAD buys you it's a...

With BMS disabled and BMS SS turned off there are no warning messages on the dash, but the touch screen on the B pillar is disabled, everything else works. With BMS enabled and BMS SS turned off there is a warning message on the dash. ASS does remain off, and all the devices work.

It does disable the start/stop system, like I said there are two options in BdyCM, BMS, and BMS Start/Stop, this is where you disable start stop and it works. I've been running with it for almost a week and start/stop does not engage. I disabled both, but I'm going to revert BMS while keeping...
