After owning my 2017 eco and seeing how reliable it has been up to 101k miles (knock on wood), I can say that these engines are reliable if taken care of! I have beat the living hell out of mine and it’s had no issues. I would definitely buy a second one and have been possibly eyeing a HPP Handling pack if I don’t go for a 5.0

Anyone who owns an AWD Ford must do is change the gear oil in the differential around 10,000 - 15,000 miles and same for the Power Train Unit off of the transmission due to what is called "break in period".. Both of these are small and hold very little fluid. With the PTU generally overheating and causing the fluid to have "viscosity breakdown" from the heat. The PTU is surrounded by the exhaust and catalytic converter. And must be changed every 20,000 to 30,000 miles. A high end gear oil from Redline or Amsoil is also recommended as they perform better under higher temps. Once the differential is changed it can go 60,000 miles between fluid changes.

Even though I've owned my 2016 Ecoboost since August 2022 with it at 80,000mi (originally at 46,000mi, I got it), its always good to hear from others and see if what I'm doing is match what others say. I tend to make sure oil, coolant, and even the transmission (green at 120F) temp is all in the green, I treat the car like normal. I then tend to put it on the boost gauge to watch my boost, which I knew was going to be the bigger mystery to me. Good vid.

Modern diesel (TDCi) is pretty much the same. Some tips: - Start driving once it settles after cold start. - Don't push the engine until it properly warms up. But do start driving so it can get to temp faster. - Use quality fuel, VERY important. Cheap fuel will clog DPF, EGR, everything. - IF you live in a cold climate, you can put a heater in your car! These work off your fuel tank and can both pre-heat your car AND they run until your car gets up to temp, making it reach temps much quicker. My car gets up to temp within minutes, thanks to the Webasto heater I have installed. Amazing stuff, trust me! - This is diesel specific only, but make sure to get your car up to temp on a trip, so it can do regen if it has to. MIND YOU, modern petrol engines that use the Atkinson-cycle are the same, they hate short trips and can wear out and fail much faster if you use it for short trips. I know the video is about the EcoBoost (petrol, direct injected engine) but pretty much same stuff applies.

It's a good idea to change the coolant every 50k miles. Currently at 114k milee, 2016 Ecoboost Performance pack, manual, bought it new with 5 miles on the odometer. Acidic coolant will attack the head gasket, and if you've ever seen how much margin there is in the 2.3 head gasket, you definitely don't want that!

Either way, it really is quite quick...shocked me a bit. Kinda figured that if this ecoboost and powershift stuff is as bad as they say, it would have all died long before this Mondeo got to 14 years old.

@KarzKreated
@KarzKreated 6 месяцев назад
That's weird. That's one of those issues that's really hard to diagnose without looking at it. It could be something loose, or it could be related to the engine directly. Considering it only happens with the ac on, it could have something to do with the ac compressor. Another thing to keep in mind is that the high pressure fuel pump on these engines is loud. When you turn the ac on, the car will adjust idle a little higher by adding some timing to compensate for the ac. Since it's idling a little higher, the cam lobe that operates the high pressure fuel pump spins faster and usually becomes more audible. I doubt it has anything to do with the gas you're using.

I’m 57 and hope it will be my last car, so wish I could speak with someone like you here in Texas to learn more. I checked the sensor P/N and it seems to be the correct one, but did not know about that other part so will check it. The spark plugs tip was completely new to me, so this weekend going to pull them and inspect. Do you think the Ford synthetic blend oil is acceptable? I’ve changed the oil at about 3,000 miles (so about four times now when oil monitor shows about 50% remaining life) and haven’t yet used the 45K points the dealer awarded at purchase, so have been taking to the dealer for the oil changes. I’d like to change it myself in time so will investigate the other oils you mention. I buy only premium fuel but have been getting it at Kroger fuel station because of the fuel points, but if you recommend other name brands like Shell, Chevron, etc. would be glad to know. Don’t plan to mod but would like a catch can, but not overly mechanical and don’t know if I can install it. The only thing I’d like to do in time is upgraded intercooler. Thanks again for the great info. New subscriber here.

The Synthetic Blend your using is fine. You have the oil changed frequently, and you're not planning to drive the car too hard and modify it. So I wouldn't stress too much about it. Catch can is great idea while the car is new. I also wouldn't stress about the intercooler either unless you tune it to run higher boost pressure. The factory intercooler isn't the best, but it works better than not having one at all lol. I appreciate the support!

Just curious, my 2021 Explorer with 2.3 ecoboost requires 5w30 and my assumption is that this is the case for most ecoboosts. I use full synthetic, and I've never had a problem with oil burn of any sort (and I tow a fishing boat regularly). My question is this, since I live in an extreme climate where it goes down to -40c in the winter, should I consider a different viscosity?
@KarzKreated
@KarzKreated 2 месяца назад
Factory oil viscosity for the 2.3 ranges from 5w30 to 5w50, depending on the application. I would definitely recommend looking into an oil that has great cold flow attributes. It could potentially be beneficial to use a 0w oil during the really cold months. Look up Project Farm on youtube if you don't already know, and watch through his oil test videos. He does a simple cold oil flow test at extreme temperatures.

@KarzKreated
@KarzKreated 8 месяцев назад
Your car should already have the updated fuel sensor, so I wouldn't worry about that. The evap valve is hit or miss whether it craps out or not. You'll likely deal with that as it happens since there's no way to know, and it's pointless to replace it unless it does go bad. Most dealers do offer intake cleaning services, but they generally use liquid solvents to perform the cleaning. You'll have to check around for walnut blasting, but that's something I wouldn't even consider until after 50k miles are on the car.

That’s a characteristic of a direct injected turbo engine. They make so much torque and do it at relatively low speed, that main bearing wear can be an issue. Better to keep the rpm at least above 2k rpm as the engine. Less tension stress.

I believe you are in the clear in terms of the faulty block design that plagued the pre-2020 explorers with ecoboost. Yours has a tiny hole drilled between cylinders, the earlier designs had a slit accross the top that severely minimized gasket contact surface area and notoriously leaked coolant into the engine cylinder(s). I think if you keep up with recommended maintenance you should be ok.

That's true for most vehicles. I unfortunately discovered firsthand that even though you can follow every recommendation in the book for this engine, the likelihood of something going wrong is still present. These engines can be reliable, but they are plagued by manufacturing inconsistencies. Some make it well over 100k miles with routine maintenance, and others will fail well within the warranty period. It's a crapshoot if you have a good one or a bad one.

The "wet belt" design is the problem, it's flawed. Renault/Citroen use wet belt engines as well and they have the same issues. The belts can start to disintegrate and clog oil pathways. The Mustang and ST (the real ST models, not ST-line which is just a trim) spec cars don't use them though afaik. The MK8 Fiesta ST uses a chain. It's mostly the smaller 1.0-1.5 engines.

Those are the oil control solenoids for the camshaft phasers. There is a rubber seal in the valve cover that's prone to leaking over time. That's likely why you see oil leaking from there. That problem shouldn't cause a P0301 in itself. Pull out the ignition coil from cylinder 1 and see if there's oil in the spark plug hole.

The Motorcraft oil is decent oil. If you drive the car hard, or if it's making a bit more power than stock, I would suggest using a premium full synthetic.

You didn't mention TopTier gas. Change the oil, every year or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first, with a name brand API SN or SP rated oil. An oil catch can isn't a bad idea, but it's not really necessary on a stock, properly maintained engine. If you're pumping up the boost, you'll be increasing the blowby, so add a catch can. The 2.3 ecoboost isn't prone to carbon buildup, on the valves, if properly maintained. Do some research and try to find one, with any symptoms of carbon buildup. It's really hard to find one on the 2.3. The worst ecoboost, for carbon buildup, was the early 3.5. The biggest problem with the 2.3 is that it's an open deck block, with very narrow cylinder to head mating surfaces, for the head gasket to do it's job. It's a really terrible design, for an engine running this much boost stock. It's not a great idea to add more boost to it, without upgrading the head gasket and head bolts. Also, if you've got a 2018 or earlier, it'd be a good idea to upgrade the connecting rods, like Ford did in 2019. For a stock engine that's never been apart, I'd consider retorqueing the head bolts.
