Hi guys, any explorer owner here with a 2014 2.0 ecoboost? Would appreciate inputs on fuel consumption as i am averaging only 3.5 km/liter. I don't know, maybe my gauge is wrong, or there is something defective in the engine itself.. ( this fc is abnormally low right? )

Mandarsya ngaun mostly ang big 3 , bagsak lahat ng FC ng cars ko even if diesel.
Pero meron ako secret station eh di ko na din babanggitin kasi baka tumanggap din ng substsndard fuel
Yun sa Landers ingat kayo dun, discounted nga pero mahina hatak so mabilis pa maubos
That 3.5km is normal pag Christmas season and loading regular unleaded from Shell or caltex for a Ford gas engine.
*istan Usually if not within makati, makati to BGC only. Though its not always bumper to bumper traffic..
*minicarph i put Caltex, yung 95 Octane but still same FC (as per user manual minimum is 87 octane)

Actually mas higher octane, mas malakas FC ng Ford gasoline engine , i have observed this so many times na with my old Ford V6 . Kasi mas pino, mas swabe andar hihi
I have been to the Ford American forums too long, pero 2014 yan unit mo so I can only say na pag lalo nag luluma ang Ford gas engine lalo lumalakas ang consumption, coz there are a lot of other parts na na wornout or naluluma. Like for example, an old tire na hinde ok ang pagkalbo, or suspension systems, yan bslljoint kasi ng Ford, pag lagi mo pa check sa mekaniko, sasabihan nila ok pa naman pero actually di nila alam talaga, kasi minsan lang sila makahawak ng ford. Pero that also can be the cause of higher FC, as well as yan double wishbone nila.
Imagine a gasoline trying to run all those big suspension ageing parts, kaya ako nag diesel na basta mid size suv.
Ang napansin ko lang kasi matalino ang computer ng Fords, all it will do is to pump more fuel to the engine to compensate for the nice ride with ageing parts.
Short route + Stop and Go traffic will net you 3.5 km/l. Its normal.
Actually, i noticed that on idle, when i remove my oil dipstick, oil is spitting out from it. Upon research it means crankcase pressure is high. So kailangan ipacheck pcv valve and look around for oil leaks **sigh. 1 effect daw of this is increased fuel consumption...
benta mo na lang hinde na mag-improve FC nyan kahit maayos yan. Kaya i vowed Never to buy anything gasoline kahit hinde Ford, whether or Subaru or Mazda or even a big Honda engine like the Pilot
Talong- talo ka talaga if you have a gasoline engine dito sa Pinas. Gasoline engines are never meant for stop and go, average of 15-20kph going to and fro to work daily.
It will be very hard to debug that and they would charge you an arm for that lalo na kung sa Shell or Petron service ka lang. Ford casas mas matinde pa. You have a better chance with Ford Specialists, there are 3-4. Madami ka pa makikilala basketball player na magpapagawa. Somehow, it’s nice. Pero hinde nman ako celebrity , why am i suffering the same fate us them? Sila kelangan talaga nila ma-differentiate sila sa masses car, kaya they buy Explorers or chevys or subarus, it’s part of their persona.
One of the best days of life was when my Explorer was bought na hihi
Nice comfortable ride naman sya right? Fix it na lang. Kayang kaya naman. Use till its 20 yrs old. Ü
Gaskets are cheap, its the labor that's killing u.

*minicarph Honestly, selling it has crossed my mind. This was my first Ford, and alam ko naman na pag bumili ka ng second hand, there's usually something to fix. Yun lang, ang mahal mag maintain/paayos ng Ford.
*istan Yes, it is a nice comfortable ride. I'll have it estimated muna i guess, baka simple fix lang pala kailangan. *and di naman umiilaw Check Engine so ok pa cguro![]()
Just an FYI update, i had the car checked sa Ford Specialists (ndi na sa Casa) .. accdg to them its normal sa Ford turbo that there is some steam and just a bit of sputter when you take off the oil dipstick while the motor is running...
Hi. Has any explorer owner here experienced that when you step on the brakes, you hear air coming out from the pedal area? Even if you close the aircon, then step on the brakes, you can hear air blowing from somewhere near the foot pedals. If anyone had the same problem, kindly share.. Thanks

hear or feel?
Tire Pros.
When I press the brakes in a car, there is a sort of hissing, almost compressed air sound coming from the brake pedal. What causes that? - Quora
