they updated the block years ago, that was the main culprit. typical boosted engine issue with leaks at some point, how long till that happens is anyone's guess. I think you talking about the old 1.5L. The 1.5L dragon...
Also, I don't think you need a 500hp Ecoboost delivery vehicle in NYC. Something more robust and economicaly designed for that type of service. The Ecoboost is a high-strung and maintenance hungry engine for that environment.
Who wants to chat about 2025 Ford V6 3.5L "Ecoboost" and even write about 2020 etc earlier/historic issues that have supposedly been remedied? I don't know if the 2025 version is specifically different from 2024 or even 2023.
The EPA is making the car manufacturers do this for the last bit of mileage and sacrificing engine life. My 08 3.5 Edge has 235,000 miles on it and just put the first water pump in it. $ 1,600 at Ford dealership and t...
3.5 ecoboost, you can use 5w30 (just about any flavor) and change at 5k miles if you drive normally. Change earlier (3-4k) if you short trip this engine. I have the 2.7 and bought it new in 2016 (130,xxx). I have used...

My son has a 2017 Ford Escape with the 2.0L twin scroll turbo Ecoboost engine. I changed the oil when he bought it (used) with 5W30 synthetic (yes, it calls...
Different vehicle, but same idea. My 2016 F150 with the 2.7 Ecoboost recommends 87 octane under normal use (and is what the rated hp and torque numbers are delivered with). However, for heavy towing and maximum perfor...
Yes they did revise the 1.5 4cyl EcoBoost motor, specifically the engine block itself has revised coolant passages. I have pictures showing a comparison. I have a 2014 Fusion with the same engine that is currently und...
I have another thread going on the valvoline oil but I’m curious what the experts here would run in 2.0 ecoboost from new. Make it interesting any ecoboost seeing that they all are hard on oil. Would you run a special...
