  1. Hello all, I've newly bought a used 2015 FFH, it's now at 160,000 and I'm about to do my first Oil Change, so I'm also going to have the Transmission fluid changed as well. As I've tried to lookup instructions for changing the fluid online, I came across comments in some about a "high pressure side" filter which is changeable as well as the internal one which isn't unless the unit is broken down like a rebuild. I'm curious if those with a 2013 or newer model with the same tranny have any advice, recommendations, experiences you might be able to provide so I make sure not to miss a small but crucial detail. So if you can provide any feedback on the following questions, please do. 2015 FFH with 160,000, unknown history, so presuming original fluid is present in the transis there an external filter, perhaps called a High Pressure filter, recommended to be replaced during fluid replacement?Any thoughts/experiences using a Trans cleaner/flush product at the time of the fluid change?I'm going to be using AMS/OIL's High Efficiency ATF fluid, anyone have experience with this product? Look forward to any feedback which can be offered, Thanks for your time, James
  2. I have seen many people talking about changing the drive gear from D to L so that more energy can be put back in the HVB. Is this frequent changing from D to L/ D to N while in motion going to affect the health of engine / transmission ? Thanks, Newbie
  3. Last Friday my wife was driving her FFH 2011 and after fully stopping the car, she shifted to Reverse (from Drive) she said the car made a loud noise (like when mis-shifting in a stick gearbox). After that the car drove normally back home (about 3km) in both reverse and drive. When she parked at home the shifter wouldn’t go to “P”, after some time trying to shift to “P” without luck (the car will shift to all other gears) she switched-off in N. Obviously the key can’t be removed and the car won’t start now. At this moment the shifter will move between gear with the exception of Park and the car doesn’t start in anyone. Any guess what can be happening?
  4. During our road trip I've been able to gather and analyze a lot of data about how the car works. I'll try to break it down in parts.
  5. Here is an excellent explanation about how the powersplit device in a hybrid works. The difference between the FFH & Fusion Energi is that the MG1 is larger in the Energi which allows it to reach a higher speed in EV mode (85 MPH vs 62 MPH). This is exactly how our cars work, the difference being that the gear ratio is different because of different size MG1, MG2 and engine. Toyota and Ford both use this design for their hybrids and this technology is why the Ford & Toyota hybrids are superior to hybrids made by Honda, Kia, Hyundai, Volkswagen or GM. All the other manufacturers place an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and the automatic transmission. That is a less efficient design than what Ford & Toyota have done. The other hybrids are "one motor" hybrids, whereas the Ford & Toyota hybrids are "two motor" hybrids as they have 2 electric motor/generators as shown in the video. The next gen Honda Accord Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid introduces a two motor hybrid system for Honda, their first. It will be interesting to see if it is engineered the same as I believe Toyota and Ford own the patents for this design.
