neal702 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 I am an old timer when it comes to oil changes and belive the first one should be done at 1000 miles. This post is just to inform everyone that the oil filter info in our owners manual isincorrect. Our hybrids use a spin on filter , fl-910 , not the cartrage filter stated in the ownermanual ... like I said this is just a heads up Neal 2010 Fusion Hybrid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Our hybrids use a spin on filter , fl-910 , not the cartridge filter stated in the owner manual ... like I said this is just a heads up I too am old-fashioned in this regard, I changed mine at 500 miles before I took an out-of-state trip, otherwise I would have done it at 1,000 miles as you did. Some choose to spend an extra $20 to order out for pizza, I'll skip one pizza and do the oil change and sleep better at night. I use Fram oil filters, in that case the regular spin-on filter is PH9566, not the cartridge type like my wife's Escape Hybrid has. Below are the details I got from advanceauto.com by searching on 2010 FFH: Fram Oil FilterPart No. PH9566ExtraGuard K&N FilterPart No. HP-1002Performance Gold Purolator Oil FilterPart No. L10241Premium Plus Purolator Oil FilterPart No. PL10241PureOne For mikenmar: it's routine for each manufacturer to recommend their own brand of oil. I use a full synthetic and have used Mobil 1, Pennzoil, Quaker State, and Valvoline in the past. As long as they are a name brand which meets the API specifications (they note that on the label), I consider it fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason I ask is I know nothing about oil filters and I will getting my first oil change in a couple of weeks when I reach 5K miles. Thanks for the heads up.

What kind of oil should we be using (the manual solely recommends Ford's products)? Is synthetic OK? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rlawson4 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 Okay, now I freaked out. I was just going to the dealer and letting them do the oil change. Now, I am worried they will screw it up. What oil should I use? Is synthetic better if I do a change every 5K miles? What oil type? What filter? I want the information so I can make sure the dealer does not f..k it up.

skluck Report post Posted August 15, 2009 I would use synthetic. Mobil 1 is solid stuff. But for the love of all that is holy please do not torture your FFH with FRAM Oil filters! Get a motorcraft, they are quality and the same price! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rlawson4 Report post Posted August 15, 2009 The manual says part number FL-2017-B for the filter and SAE 5W-20 oil So, how do we know what to do? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
