To be fair, I havent my Focus very long yet but in my old XTERRA the TPMS was pretty sensitive. That thing would go off if you were 1 pound of air light. Soooooo annoying. I ended up running a few pounds over spec cause it was so annoying going off all the time. Didn't seem to have much affect, I ended up getting almost 85,000 miles out of 50,000 mile tires.
Oil Change Required?
Hi everyone!
It's been awhile since I've been here, since I've been enjoying my Focus.
I'm at 9,100 miles -- my next oil change is due at 10,100 miles. However, today, I started my car and got the: oil change required prompt at start-up. It now pops up every time I start my car (twice since original error this morning). Does this mean I need to check my oil levels? The car has had one oil change and the 10,100 miles mark was set by my dealership; I'm about 1,000 miles behind in terms of expectant date (they were assuming 10,100 miles in mid-September).
I should note that I have an appointment this coming Saturday for a lovely grinding noise from the front left of my car when I accelarate from 0-1,000 RPMS. It's not consistent, but it happens for about 3 seconds frequently enough to be concerned (particularly that it's the DCT troubles that I read about 65,215 times on these forums before purchasing my 2014 at this time last year).
Some feedback would be appreciated. Should I let it slide until it visits the dealer on Saturday -- or what I should I do? Admittedly, I don't know how to check the oil, but I'm sure my boyfriend does.
Thanks!
