This is my 2nd Explorer ST, my first was a 23 that was tuned and modded. And the moment the 25's are cracked, this warranty will be void as well.

But keep on trolling all you want.
It was cracked yesterday.....

Taken in context, that post is from a thread for parts for new 2025 owners. It might be important information for EVERYONE to know. NOTE: I said "warranties" Plural addressing everyone involved.
Thanks for bringing attention to that thread, it could be helpful to new members.

And now that you're stalking through all my posts, why didn't you post this one?
I traded my 23 ST for a 25 ST. I still have my Accessport with Cobb maps for the 23. Is it likely that Cobb will release 25 maps once the PCM is unlocked?
Also, apologies to the OP for having your thread derailed by Unbroken. It's completely unnecessary. I'm not going to feed it anymore.

This thread is why owner's manual's exist. Follow it and you'll be fine. It was created by the professional engineers at Ford who designed the engine.
No disrespect, but the “professional engineers” got more than the oil level wrong. i.e.- small intercooler, limited gauge selection, no manual release on the lift gate, single bolt differential, to name a few. Just my opinion, but I tend to lean more towards the folks who have picked the vehicle apart and tested its abilities than the monkeys who write the owners manual.

Coming from the world of a Ford dealership and meeting some of the on-site “engineers” they send…

I trust these forums over any Ford rep/service tech/engineer

Just completed another oil change this past weekend. This time I got the engine HOT by running errands for a couple hours. Let it drain for 30 minutes to get as much out as possible. Added 6 quarts, no more, no less. After resting overnight, the cold level (red line) has been above the upper circle checking three mornings in a row. After reading up on the wrong dipstick issues with the Broncos, it appears the circle isn't really the maximum on our 3.0 dipsticks. I would imagine if running 6.5qt, the resting oil would be closer the the bend. Just another head scratcher with some of these Ford engineers.

Quality control, it’s job one. Not surprising but also not the first time I’ve seen a dipstick off.
