Very good information for people. We service a fleet of Transit T350. They all have the 3.5 turbo. Some are now nearing 300,000 miles. Ford oil filter and a good full synthetic oil, every 3,000 miles. All of fluids every 50,000. Other then spark plugs and coils. The engine have been bullet proof. We do see EVAP systems, purge valve issues along with rear brake slider sticking the calipers.

He should be the poster-child of the types of students that are benefiting from trade school education - a fine example.

Wife got in it and turned the key, went back into limp mode. The dealership said they would buy it back at current blue book value but,only when the get it running again.

[@8t7_foxbody99]

I've stayed with my 02 5.4 F150 for 14 years. 615k miles later it was time to replace the old truck, I was skeptical of the eco boost (2 turbo issues) but the tow rating beats the 5.0 trucks... I did my homework, talked to several eco boost owners and a few 5.0 owners and nobody had any thing but good to say about the eco boost trucks. So I bought a 2020 Eco boost f150 and I love the hell out of that thing.

[@chris1451]

I was prepared for a major Ford bashing. Thank you for an honest video. Preventive maintenance is the key to any mechanical device. Do what the book says, and all will be good. Also glad you hit on economy. People don't realize that for any amount of work, it takes a certain amount of power. Weather V-8 or turbo V-6. Power takes fuel. But most trucks drive around empty. That is where economy is maximized. My 2018 F-150 has gotten 27 MPG on the highway, granted by setting cruise control at the speed limit for the 70 miles . In the same situation, a 5.0 wouldn't get that good of mileage.

The trouble is in our job , customers have not been brought up with modern technology, they don't understand that you will wreck your engine if you don't service it , they always want to skimp on repairs , would rather have their hair done or new nails , then cry when it's gonna cost a packet to fix , we as motor vehicle repairers , have not yet joined the magic circle so have no magic wand to fix it , great video , fully agree , same shit over here in the UK , in Jaguar engines

[@sheldonhall7309]

It doesn’t help that the manufacturers have stretched the recommended maintenance intervals in the name of selling “lower cost of maintenance” to the buyer. Case in point...Nearly every automaker that uses the ZF 8HP transmission says it’s “fill for life” while ZF explicitly recommends changing the fluid at 8yr/100000km.

[@kirklee66]

simple solution = TOYOTA/LEXUS best qualty cars and engines ever made

[@yasontube]

In the last 100 years or so, what car/engine hasn't begun to fail without proper maintenance? Sloppy maintenance (especially of the engine) is like giving bad luck a disproportionate chance to wreck things while giving the owner absolutely nothing to gain from not servicing the vehicle properly. Some engine type with certain usage patterns might last for some time despite lax maintenance but I don't even see the point of comparing the durability of different engines without the assumption that all engines are first and foremost properly maintained.

Really good review. I have had two of these and had outstanding performance. I used full synthetic oil.

[@ericbeaird7100]

Awesome explanations...I’ve been running the 3.5L Ecoboost since 2011. I have 240K on that one, still going strong. I loved it so much I bought a 2015 last year ( low miles). I change the oil every 3-4K, no exceptions. I’ve run the 5W-30 synthetic blend it called for since the beginning and I do the same for the 2015. I’m a firm believer in pm’s especially oil changes...probably the cheapest thing you can do for your motor. Ecoboost - lb for lb, best motor I’ve ever run. Towing / efficiency, can’t beat it

[@rogerpearson9081]

Very well spoken and easy to listen to. Everything you say makes sense. I particularly agree with the synthetic oil especially in a highly strung engine. Nothing wrong with changing it before the recommended intervals either. I personally would not have one as they are a lot of tech for a relatively minor gain. The big old low stressed engines will tolerate lax oil changes and non optimals more than one of these and a lot cheaper to fix IMHO. Also less prone to throwing a fault code because a spark plug is not within spec. Having said that, I run a CRDI turbo diesel engine in our Sportage. 115k and no problems yet. Always get it serviced on time or a bit before.

Great video! I am so tired of hearing about timing chain stretch on these engines, it is as you say, timing chain wear from lack of maint. You have a very good explanation of that issue.

Experienced mechanics like this are badasses! Thanks for your service 🙏

This guy has reduced my fear of this engine. Very, very well done.

[@jamie91433]

Titan500J most of the issues are because of bad owners and not servicing them regularly

Had 3 EcoBoost over 10yrs. Love em. Oil changes every 5kmis.

I just got a TT Stinger--was very worried about reliabilty but talked to a KIA tech like this guy.Maintain it at the dealer and get the oil change at 3k.KIA warrants theres for 10 years because they believe in it.Like someone said it is customers who skip maintenence.

Ive had mine for five years. No issues at all with the engine. Only fear I have is IF and its a big IF, that if there is a mechanical failure the cost of a new engine used and new is 6k to 10K respectively

The engine is junk. 99-06 5.3 GM puts it to shame
