This is an inspection but at some of them Ford expects you to install various filters, change the oil, etc. The eCVT is not at all like a conventional transmission, it is a very simple and elegant machine and its fluid doesn't need changing as often as tranny fluid in a conventional automatic, CVT or manual transmission.Īs mentioned, the FFH is different than other cars, Ford suggests inspections at 10,000 mile intervals.
Since the electric motor does most of the braking there is little wear & tear on brake pads & rotors. Since the ICE runs less often there is less wear & tear on the ICE, coolant, oil, etc. Maintenance costs will be much lower than a comparable gas-only vehicle. The hybrid needs very little maintenance. Don't go by what a dealer might tell you, they're only concerned with making profits at your expense. It needs no maintenance.Īs far as other maintenance costs, consult your Owner's Manual for a list of recommend routine maintenance services and intervals. The HVB (High Voltage Battery) should last the life of the car.
Does anyone know? Also how long do these hybrid batteries generally last? I will be doing between 35K-50K miles a year. I am trying to figure out what the maintenance cost will be (approx) for my new 2014 Fusion Hybrid.
