He's getting to be very popular with the older crowds because his explanations are clear. He wants to help the customer and customers love him. He's got a heck of a future if he chose to.

[@nm-qt2hb]

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.

I am an old retired master mechanic that owns a 2014 F-150 with Eco Boost. I change oil and Wix filter every 5000 miles. When I bought the truck it came with "free (ha) service. every 10,000 miles, I told the dealer no thanks and do them myself. I put it up on my lift and check everything and so far no major problems. I have seen trucks that go 15,000 miles between oil changes and they are in for repairs a lot. Every oil service I clean the THREE intake sensors and I also drilled the intercooler. My routine maint.

Calling it stretching is a misnomer and is the problem people have. The chain does not stretch in the slightest, the pins and bushings wear out causing elongation, nothing more.

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

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.

I test drove Chevy, Toyota, and Ram, and I thought the F150 is the no.1 option in the list and this thought is never going to be changed I think. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my F150!

Thank you sooo much for that information. The real problem I see is IF I have a problem and do not go to Ford to fix it, the secondary mechanics shops that work on these engines whom profess to be a custom or good shop DO NOT replace all the stuff needed when you have this problem, they go in and fix the problem itself and do not change the other components while there as preventative maintenance, then there are problems that occur from the other components and the engine has to be torn down again to replace one other component. Education and getting the right mechanic for these engines is very very important, thank you for your education for the public, this was a great video and very transparent as well..!!

I bought a 2012 Lincoln MKT With the 3.5 ecoboost, and 105K and the timing chain error code on. The dealer had the timing chains, sensors, etc, replaced. I now have 112k and it runs really well. I did change over to Mobil 1 synthetic oil as soon as I got it home. Impressive power.

[@kbron3250]

Great informational video- correct it is imperative to change the oil and filter every 5-6K with only full synthetic. My 2012 F-150 ECO now has 253K and aside from a current MAF issue (needs to be properly spray cleaned) the truck runs great. Another tip my mechanic advised especially on the older 1st generation ECOs is when operating for extended trips is to allow the engine to idle 2-3 minutes allowing the fluids to circulate through the turbos before turning off. Anything to extend the life of the ECO is important. Don't forget the transmission flush which along with the radiator which I do at the dealer at least every 40K after I hit 100K. Small price of preventive maintenance to possibly avoiding large repair bills if you plan to drive over well over 100K.

[@Powerstroke98]

Having had diesels in the past, if driving on the highway, especially towing hills, I'd let the truck run until exhaust temps lowered to 300 degrees, so says the pyrometer. Of course their is no pyrometer on these F150's (of which mine is a 3.5 as well, and running fine at 130k+ miles) and although I don't tow, if I've run it a little harder than normal, I'll wait 30 seconds before shutting down. I am one of the one's that drives for fuel mileage, so every now and again, have to remember to allow the turbo's to incorporate some power...but I don't often, as I want to remain above 18 mpg around town if at all possible, which it can do if I drive it sensibly. I just bought a case of Motorcraft semi-synthetic (as per the manual states for oil changes) but I do change right at 5,000 miles or prior to. I'll switch over to Penzoil Platinum full synthetic once my Motorcraft is gone.

Great video explaining the fact that these engines need to have regularly scheduled oil changes. Just like the Triton 5.4l change the oil ever 3000 to 3500 miles with synthetic oil and the engines are dependable. Another great point is the fuel economy. Bottom line if you need a vehicle like a full size pickup you really can't expect to get the same mileage as per say a Toyota corolla. It's common sense.

[@paulwolf8444]

It really doesn't matter that much in terms of synthetic v conventional. Synthetic just has different flow characteristics. Oil never stops being oil. You don't change oil, You are draining unburned gasoline. The sooner the better. Either oil gets just as contaminated that's the bad part. With synthetic you have some overall better long term wear.

I wish I could get this guy to work on my truck when I needed it!!

Need a mechanic like you in every town!

[@Patrick_Gray]

First, thanks for the video. I was a mechanic for over 30 years. I was brought up working on automotive electrical systems, may father owned an automotive electrical shop. I opened an automotive A/C and radiator shop and operated it from 1973 to 2003. You seem very knowledgeable on the 3.5L EcoBoost V6. What happens when the water pump starts to leak?

[@jermainephillips5179]

I love this guy.his explanation and delivery is one of the best on the web✊🏾

[@mikeberry304]

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

[@Ucfhall]

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.

[@MrClownWorld]

KIRK S eh, not really. I mean, yeah they’re good, but they’re all good these days.

[@dustinryan9671]

It's a good thing people don't do the recommended maintenance, I mean how much business would be lost if everyone maintained their vehicle to spec.

We need more tech like this. I would never have a problem paying someone like that to work on my truck . You sir are very impressive. Thank You!!

[@ryananey7626]

Holy moly your the mechanic jedi! Your super knowledgeable on this stuff. Thank you. I'm so impressed!👏

[@Drew.DrivesYT]

Got the 2.0 EcoBoost in my car and I love it, three years going strong. These engines are meant to be driven and used, as long as you take care of them just like anything else.

[@nzmarco]

I just bought a 2016 2.0 ecoboost with 60k km (35k miles) on the clock. Is there anything apart from regular oil changes I should be doing to keep it reliable? thanks.

[@Drew.DrivesYT]

@@nzmarco trans fluid, the 6F35 likes clean transmission oil. Should be done at 50k (km). Injector/carbon flush at 50k as well, if you have AWD get both diffs done too. Check online for service intervals, that may give a better idea. Direct injection has its own caveats, so the more you understand how DI works the easier it'll be to determine what type of service you need. I use strictly 91 octane, but 87 is fine as well. Enjoy the FuSE, its a great car!

[@nzmarco]

what's in a name thanks for your response. I have been using a higher octane (95). Will do some research around scheduled servicing and check out the service records I have. How’s your average fuel consumption? I’m at 10.5/100 (metric sorry) while urban driving. Haven’t been on the open road yet. Cheers.

[@Drew.DrivesYT]

@@nzmarco on the highway 7.6L/100km, in the city about the same as you, 10.5L/100km. Winnipeg has a shitty layout so I end up idling more than driving, haha. I've gone from MB to BC and back twice in the last month and the car hasn't complained a bit, and I'm already at 100k kms. Built Ford Tough like they say.

[@nzmarco]

what's in a name I hope so. There’s lots of info on gdi I wish I had of read before buying the car, which incidentally is called a Mondeo in New Zealand. I saw a CRC product on YT that apparently breaks down carbon on valves and the turbo. Might see if I can find it here.

[@Armalite015]

Great video for people wanting to know more about the ins and outs of the ecoboost motor.

[@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.

[@hphillips7425]

Very well spoken. I watch a a lot of video's and maybe 5% are done as well as this guy

[@michaeldoor9892]

Great video! I have an F150 3.5 EB built Jan. 21, 2011. 154,000 miles. I replaced my timing chain at 121,000 miles, and added a pneumatic pre-oiler with 1.5QT extra capacity. No pistons or other moving parts beyond an electric check valve to scrap metal shavings into my oil galley.. anyway also always synthetic oil and WIX or NAPA GOLD filters with good check valves. Now when I start up after sitting or cold, I KNOW I have full oil pressure with phasers at full PSI. Same setup that Jay Leno uses. My Ford dealership reviewed the entire install and said they would like to see me at 300,000 miles to see how I did. I do get into the turbos hard on occasion and have zero issues.

[@ashleyevans9363]

2014 f150 3.5 with 131000 miles No issues yet. What did it cost you for your timing chain replacement? Was wondering how pro active I should be. Was also wondering about having the valves walnut blasted. Cant find anyone that does that yet.

[@ridingdeep8530]

Fantastic video, great education - thank you. I run full-synthetic in my engine and swap oil/filter every 6,000 miles, I am currently at just a little over 90,000 miles and everything seems to be running good.

[@woolval52]

Love the advice on the turbo. Now I MUST run it hard to help my turbos stay in good mechanical condition! Which means my beer runs will be even quicker... Thanks for your tips. I run Amsoil and I've been changing it at 10K miles. I'll drop that down to 8K. My 2011 F-150 has 130K miles, runs good and has been reliable. I do keep up with maintenance and fluid changes. BTW, hate that camera and how it keeps trying to focus. It needs an oil change.

[@antman1251]

Drop that down to 3k-5k

[@reloadnorth7722]

Hello. 2 March 2022. I have owned 2 F150 crew cab 4x4 with the EcoBoost engines. The first was the 2.7 then the 3.5. Absolutely amazing. We follow the recommended maintenance schedule and they have been faultless and unbelievable on gas.

I wish you lived in my neighborhood. How about doing a video on the pros and cons of the 5.0 V8 in the Ford 150.

[@ignaciosx]

That be nice...

[@ihatecrackhead]

5.0L peak piston speed is 82.5mph, faster than a formula engine @17,000rpm formula engine use long rods, 5.0L uses short rods which pushes the cylinder against the sleeve at a high angle, causing it to accelerate the piston to faster than the crankshaft is moving. 5.0Lengine made by ford have sintered rods, too heavy for the bore spacing, 5.0L is the only muscle car balanced externally like muscle cars from the 80's. 5.0Lbuilt from catalog parts(BOSS engines) have drop forged and ball peen forged rods like stock V6 and V8 camaros so can rev higher a V8 camaro can add 100hp with just a camshaft made by chevy, 5.0L being so close to max volumetric efficiency, it is very hard to add HP without more RPM, or displacement per minute 5.0L is 20% smaller but only gets 3% better fuel economy driving slow, but uses a lot more fuel with a heavy foot, that's cause all of the power adders are adding wear, not just robbing fuel economy so 5.0L can displace more per minute at high RPM ford was forced to build 5.0L cause they were fine with 4.6L 300HP in 2009 but V6 camaro made 315hp in 2010.....300HP IN A MUSCLE CAR 12 years after Z28 Camaro made 345hp in 1998

[@231mac]

@@ihatecrackhead What?? The Coyote 5.0 uses a 5.933 con rod. That's _not_ 'short', lol. And please provide the link to this piston speed info.

[@ihatecrackhead]

@@231mac conrod means nothing, it's the stroke to rod ratio the lower the ratio, the steeper trajectory the steeper angle on the cylinder wall means it's being forced against the wall and that speeds up the piston a very long rod would still have that problem if the stroke is also long, you can't go lower than a 1.5 ratio because the rod would be too short for the crankshaft to turn google rod ratio to piston speed

[@jumpship88]

I have a 2013 lariat ecoboost with almost 400'000 km and it still runs like a monster. Use proper oil (amsoil) and filter (oem ford oil filter) like he said, change oil at 5000km and youll be solid. If you wanna go a step further get an rx catch can. These engines last for those that take good care of em.

[@365handle]

jumpship88 when one ecoboost can reach a 500,000 trouble free miles without serious costs, then I’ll check the difference in gas savings vs repairs.

[@slagdemon]

@Michael A-1 I have a 2013 Explorer Sport with the 3.5 ecoboost. Last Fall we started having issues with what Ford though was the cam phaser. I looked it up and found the timing chain stretch issue. Ford had the vehicle in 3 different times before they replaced the chain. 6 months later, the water pump went out and we caught it in time, but they repaired that also. We've had the electrical power steering go out in the cold as well, but that's just a random thing. Overall, like the engine, but transverse mounted in the explorer makes the chain/water pump more difficult to change out.

[@mikefoehr235]

I know of 2 people with failed cam shafts. Another issue...cam phasers

[@stewpidaso26]

youre wasting money with scamsoil, or any synthetic, at that OCI. you might as well be using motorcraft oil and saving $10 a quart per change. unless you you change you oil at 10,000 mile intervals youre not even breaking even on cost, at 5000km a conventional oil oil would serve you just as good as a synthetic.

[@Pube83]

Michael A-1 Why keep trading them in if no problems? Burning money with the depreciation...

[@acdii]

I have had 6 Gen 3.5 Ecoboost engines, NONE had any issues at all, Great little powerhouses. I am not on my 7th Ecoboost, the Gen 2 3.5 and it is hands down so much better than the Gen 1. Best engines in any pickup on the road in the half ton market.

Probably the best information I've found on these engines. Well done! I've been torn between the 5.0 and an ecoboost. I feel more comfortable choosing a 3.5 now as long as I run a catch-can and change oil every 3,000 miles.

A 3000 and 5000 mile cycle is a great way to keep oil fresh.

If your not using the ford oil your doing it wrong.. there is a guy on amazon who paid for oil lab tests and showed that the motorcraft oil gave the best results for ford engines.. who would of thought ford oil would be more effective on ford engines than a universal off brand... ( This oil gave me the BEST Blackstone Lab reports on my Ford engine. Lowest parts per million on iron, aluminum & other important metals. I wish I had used this oil from the date I purchased the car. )

[@lolz616]

@R Mack You must have a low iq that wasnt the point at all... the point was about how their oil is best suited for ford engines and how a lot of people go off and use off brand shit that isnt as effective at protecting FORD specific parts

[@lolz616]

@R Mack Paid oil lab analysis are extremely accurate that is like saying a blood test to show certain level of vitamins are not accurate.. the lab tests shows various metals in the oil analysis trust me i used to pay for the off brand full synthetics ill never use anything but motorcraft from now on in my ford engines this is strictly for for engines im saying i believe ford uses special additives that are SPECIFICALLY formulated for better wear results than other universal oils and it makes perfect sense they know there engine best and what its made of specifically just like the cooling system... and why they stress to use motorcraft coolant it protects the cooling system the best from after market brands
