Have you tried...

I started to have the same problem and thought it might be oil, but for other reasons. The 04- Max only has 4.25qts. of oil. If you're using a stock oil filter, the engine would have to run about 15...

I've taken drives from Chicago to Madison, WI w/ 1200lbs of passengers, 70mph and can get 30mpg. It's when you hit the street to street traffic when mpg drops like a stone.

P.s.

Not to sound condescending, but check to see if it isn't the sunglass holder by the map lights. I had my metal Oakleys in there and every once in a while they'll rattle. Suggestion: piece of fabric...

Could be rotors/brakes

If you have ceramic brake pads it could be warping your rotors. Otherwise check your alignment and tire balance.
