My 2019 2.7 (23,500 miles) had the blue smoke after a cold start when I parked at a slight uphill. I took the Ford TSB to the dealer and they ordered the part and fixed it. No more blue smoke. 😄

Nope they won't. I've been fighting them all week

[@ryanstonecipher7182]

I've got a 2019 2.7 , booked appointment 3 weeks ago and I just rolled over 60k miles. Appointment is tomorrow. I called and they said nope it's out of warranty. They won't touch it without me getting my wallet out.

Can you tell me if the gen 2 2.7L ecoboost has this issue? Mine is a 2019 XLT.

[@Justin-jn2qx]

Just performed this repair on my 2019 F150 with 2.7L at 63k miles. Thanks for posting this video. It helped me quickly diagnose and fix this issue. New pipe has been in a week and no more smoking on start up 👍

[@pman3226]

Did you use the parts listed in the TSB? I have a 2018 and the Ford parts site says the oil line doesn't fit. Searched it as a 2019 and it said the same thing. I used VINs for the parts search. Thanks.

[@Justin-jn2qx]

I took it to a mechanic. It appeared to fix the issue for about 2 months but I just noticed the smoke again so it appears to be another contributing factor

[@pman3226]

@@Justin-jn2qx thank you. It would be great if you could update what the issue is if you find out.

[@shawnsanderson3695]

Also can some explain what happens if you dont fix it or if its will be a problem.

[@hakz1nunke]

I'll add, for those that might be looking for smoke from their trucks, the blue smoke is definitely oil and I've seen this repair work many times. All of these trucks do smoke white several seconds after startup, like seen in the video, as a normal condition. We had to chase the white smoke for a customer several times before ford responded to us, saying the trucks are programmed to heat the catalytic converters shortly after starting, in order to remove built up condensation. Many people confuse this as an oil or coolant burning issue.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

Yup you can see it is more of a steam and not a thicker white smoke from coolant or fuel.

[@colinc1633]

My girlfriend is strongly considering a 2.7 with about 50,000 miles on it. Are y’all saying that this blue smoke thing is not a problem? I ask because she has had absolutely horrible luck with cars in the past two years. She got a little over 24,000 miles out of the 2017 1 L turbo Ford focus we got her a year ago and it just seized from engine knock (after getting the oil light on the dash the day before) the other day (91K miles) straight off the oil change rack. Needless to say after all the money I dumped into the car, I am scarred and skeptical about turbo charged gas engines. If she gets the truck, and this is an issue that needs to be addressed, I want to address it asap. Please let me know what y’all think. Thank you!

[@hakz1nunke]

@@colinc1633 the 1.0 ecoboost in the focus was a throw away engine. Sorry to hear that happened, but ford does have a TSB stating if it has low oil pressure codes, just put an engine and turbo in it. The focus' in general are nightmare cars and we won't sell them anymore. The 2.7 isn't a horrible engine, and the smoking on startup isn't a catastrophic failure of any kind. The only failures I've seen were 2 different 2.7 motors leaking oil through the valve guides, which ford also has a TSB out for(17-2077), but that's only for trucks built between April 1st, 2016-January 1st 2017. Turbos aren't much of a concern on newer models, as long as you're changing oil and doing other maintenance regularly, and like many cars you might expect to do phasers at some point, and an oil pan reseal. Either way, just get a decent service contract and they'll usually cover that stuff. I don't think you'll have as many issue as you did with a 1.0 focus.

[@hongshi8251]

Good fix. Your work with the 5.4 3 valve is why I follow your channel. I’m still nursing mine along and planning the timing job as needed. So far I got away with just replacement of the CTV Solenoids and changed to 5w30. Amazing what a guy can learn from an experienced mechanic. Thanks

[@alphatrion48]

Yeah I'm in it for the long haul with my 5.4, for a while everytime I would watch one of his videos on common issues with the 5.4 it would be a short time till mine would need the same thing. So needless to say I'm quite proficient with the 5.4 3 valve. I use my truck way beyond normal wear and tear so I'm not going to keep saying it's been all bad, ok I'm lying, it's been terrible since about 130k on it. But I may as well stick with it since I have already worked on just about every part on it.

[@stevejohnson5837]

I believe the issue was due to oil weeping past the turbo seals after a hot soak and the revised tube allows for better drain back after shutdown.

[@FordTechMakuloco]

I think it allows for a vacuum break of sorts so it can fully drain the line yes.

[@brianhunt5635]

This is what immediately came to my mind. Retaining pressure inside that line and weeping past the impeller seal into the exhaust side.

[@mxrevival]

I recently replaced both of my turbos, and as such, both of these oil feed lines on each side. Before I decided to replace the lines, I flushed them with brake cleaner. Upon doing this, I realized that I had a free flow of brake cleaner through the passenger side line. The driver side would not flow any brake cleaner through the first I thought “there is my restrictions, and probably the reason why my driver’s side turbo failed”. But upon closer inspection, there is a ball or check valve underneath the filter on the driver side passenger side line does not have. I can only assume that check valve is what what was updated, and as what, keeps oil from draining down into the turbo housing and being burned. Love your videos 💪

[@MackDoc]

I was doing this repair and noticed the same thing. I wish there was a detailed document with more info about the updated line.

[@bwalker4194]

The white smoke is likely from condensate in that giant muffler and resonator as they cool off, especially overnight. My 2017 has a factory pinhole on the bottom of the muffler. When it clogs up I get the smoke. When it's unclogged and working, I get a blackish wet spot under the muffler.

[@waynecarr9150]

Where is this pinhole, is it obvious? Im assuming bottom side near the furthest back flange?

[@DannyC379]

The white isn’t smoke. It’s condensation.

[@moose2934]

I’m having this issue with my 2016 Expedition (it’s the 2014-style F150 EcoBoost engine)… and my dealership said that it was normal 2x - but I can SMELL the richness of the oil in my exhaust… thanks Ford

[@michaelwynne3214]

Hey man thanks! I got mine fixed under warranty at 59,700 miles. Just 300 miles under the powertrain warranty. I love the videos. If you are out of your powertrain the parts cost about $150-200 dollars, and a few hours labor.

[@ScottPlude]

I can't believe that fixed the issue. It's like a customer saying his power steering is whining. Fords fix: change the spark plugs.

I had a 2016 2.7 that on cold days would produce so much white smoke on startup that my daughter once thought the truck was on fire. Took it to the dealership, they suggested the turbo line, changed it out which did help some but the truck would still produce giant plumes of steam on cold start when ever the temps were below 60.

Great video. I just completed this on my 2017 Ford F-150 2.7l EcoBoost. I'm not sure if it's just specific to the 2015-2017 models, but the updated line had a check valve on the filtered inlet end going to the block. The one I took off the truck, what appeared to be original, looked identical to the 'updated' one for $250. When I popped the filter off the new line I noticed the check valve. I did not have the 2 o-ring set-up at all.

[@bstars1031]

When I was with BMW we had the same thing on our N20 and N26 engines. When parked overnight the engine oil pressure will equalize and leak past the turbine seal. Our new feed line had a check valve in the engine side. I’m sure that one does too internally. Prevents oil pressure equalizing. Those engines were only single turbo though, wonder why Ford only wants the driver side line replaced?

[@volvo09]

wow, I can't believe that works! I noticed my 18 is doing the smoke at startup after I let it sit for a few days. I wonder if that redesigned pipe is keeping oil from dripping out of the head and through that tube (and thus the turbo) when the engine is off and oil is slowly draining back? the change eliminating an 0 ring and changing the shape of that inlet makes me think they are doing something to try and solve drain back.... would be nice to know how that oil passage in the head works.

[@jimbergen5232]

Appears that the second lower O-Ring was letting some oil by-pass and building up high pressure that the blue O-Ring couldn't block then leaking into the turbo. One would think it would be happening all the time, thus burning oil. What was the condition of the oil level consumption over 3k miles?

[@StrangerInAStrange]

Apparently also applies to 'Some 2015-2017 F-150 vehicles equipped with a 2.7L EcoBoost engine' - TSB #TSB 19-2188 Jul 09, 2019. I'm keeping my eye on my 2017.

[@lebaneezer1]

Had exact same problem on a 15 f350 6.2l. turned out to be PCV valve. $12.00 repair.

[@Alex-px2mb]

I would have thought that was total baloney but it makes sense: while the engine is running the oil is pumped under pressure and when the vehicle is off you would want it to drain back into the head. Only thing I worry about is leaks down the road due to elimination of the first o-ring but at least you'll make a video about that now, if it happens. Lol.

[@digger105337]

Mabey they added a restrictor orifice inside the new tube so it delivers less oil. That way it doesn't overfill the turbo housing, so drain back can happen quicker when you shut it off. Over delivery of oil in the low friction environment could also cause it to consume oil while running, but was undetectable because the engine is up to temp.

[@hochhaul]

That would increase the risk of sludge deposits blocking flow at the orifice.

[@digger105337]

@@hochhaul If the oil is to spec and it's maintained to any extent "sludge" shouldn't be circulating in the pressurized oil galley of any engine. Restrictors or Orifices are part of many lube systems. Piston coolers being an example, never heard of one clogging ????

The new part likely restricts / regulates oil flow to the drivers side turbo. Possibly from that deleted o-ring allowing oil to bypass the feed instead of forcing oil into it. Not uncommon to need to do this in the performance world where oil pressures are much higher and turbo placement itself can tend to cause smoking issues.

That's crazy I drive a 2013 Ford f150 5.0 coyote motor and at startup I'll see Blue smoke what I end up doing and finding out that the PCV valve was bad I couldn't find no video about PCV valves on the 5.0 l and their location I'm not really a car guy but I figured it out can you do more videos about the 5.0 2009 all the way up to 2014

So I'd put money they put a check valve in the Turbo side so when oil pressure drops to say "5 psi" is closes and just keeps the oil in the line not letting it drain into the core housing and past the shaft seals. As for the O-ring Ford probably figured out the O-ring wasn't needed and on the new part they just said don't waste the money on the part and machining.

Looks like a voodoo fix to me or there’s a lot we don’t know about that new tube

[@SEllis05]

This is exactly like my wife's 2016 2.7 ecoboost F-150

[@waynecarr9150]

Thanks for making these videos! My 2016 2.7 is doing this. I see there was a tsb for my year as well. Your video only mentions 2018-2020. Does anyone know if there is any remarkable difference in the access or job for a 2016 2.7?

INTELLECTUAL FordTechMakuloco Thanks for sharing it very helpful information video thank you Take care and have a great Evening INTELLECTUAL FordTechMakuloco From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

What is your take on the 3.5 EcoBoost cam phaser bulletin? My 2018 Expedition is affected by it and the dealer told me they will replace it only if it starts acting up. I am a bit concerned about it.

[@NITROUSnBIASPLYS]

What is your opinion on the build and durability of tge 2 7 turbo? Which generation engine is best?

[@fordfanatic3307]

I fixed my 2019 2.7 permanently for me I sold it... Never again, I will only buy a non turbo truck in the future.

[@acemobile9806]

Looks like turbo life to me. I wouldn't lose sleep over it

[@rondail5675]

Crazy, is that a warranty repair?

[@dlewis9760]

That should under the Emissions category at the very least. Oil could kill the O2 sensors or CAT given enough oil passing by. 2 years/24000 federal, 7 years/70000 California.

[@JM-mi9ty]

Which engine would you recommend for the F-150 for 2018 and up? What's your opinion on the 2.7 with the belt driven oil pump?

[@viper2009]

2015 2.7 150 is doing it as well

[@thomasdaum1927]

There must be something else other than not having the bottom o-ring on the new tube . Just querious . Thanks Brian

[@fastcutterslawnandlandscap2666]

I just bought a 2017 with 120k miles and it does this. Is it something to be concerned of, as in any damage from leaving it?

[@aaroncash8596]

I had the same issue from my 2017 since the day I bought it new. Then a year ago I switched to full synthetic oil and it hasn’t smoked since

[@gsxr1000jt]

Do the 2021 2.7s have the updated hoses for turbo?

[@FordTechMakuloco]

yes

[@topmoptopmop1234]

Great video's. I'm dealing with a 2015 f150 2.7. The temp gauge spikes and fans run wide open. The engine never overheats. No code set. I did read somewhere the coolant sensor needs replacing. This looks like a lot of work. Am I heading the right rabbit? I replaced the head temp sensor but no help. Nice to hear from you is you should respond to me. Thanks Ford dealer say radiator hose collzapex . they twisted the hose and replaced The coolant. $536.00 bucks later same problem.

I have a 2015 F150 3.5 ecoboost my truck was doing the same thing (fan on highest setting even though engine is cold and only been running for 1-2 minutes). I did a lot of internet searching and watching KZbin videos and for most people it can boil down to 1-3 things causing it: 1. A/C pressure sensor (located just behind the radiator passenger side) like you mentioned is bad (or the connector to this sensor is bad) and needs to be replaced 2. Using non-OEM thermostats can cause this issue. Replace the non-OEM with a Ford thermostat (180F setting) 3. The A/C expansion valve (passenger side behind wheel well) is clogged or malfunctioning. Clean it our or replace it and recharge the A/C system to factory spec. Using 1 (or all) of those fixes listed above seemed to get rid of the fan running on high speed all the time for 97% of the people that had the problem in the Ford forums and on KZbin.

[@OnePointLander]

Does anyone know if you could drop a second gen 2.7l to replace a 1st gen 2.7 in a 2016 F150 XL.

[@J0hnnyDee]

Thank you
