When will people learn that an extra oil change or three per year is way cheaper than any repair.
-
10 years of quality ecoboost information. I appreciate your video. My truck hasn't been to a mechanic in 8 years thanks to you...
-
Every 4k to 5k TOPS I don't go over that
-
I am the original owner of a 2012 F-150 with a 3.5 eco. After the original warranty expired, I have been doing all of my own maintenance with the exception of a timing chain job at 212,000Km. After that job, I added a catch can and have been on full synthetic oil. Vehicle is now at 270,000km and running well (Thanks in a huge way to these videos!!). This video is the first time I have ever heard mention of these turbo filters! It would be awesome Brian, if you could do a video on the turbo filter replacement. I am hoping this is something a decent home mechanic can do.
-
Brian you should do a video on showing us how to remove and replace those oil screens on the turbos for the 3.5 that would be awesome!
-
I haven’t owned a Ford in years but continue to watch your channel. I don’t think I’d ever own an Ecoboost.
-
Thanks to you and a few others that I watch, I change my oil religiously at 3,000 miles on my EcoBoost. I have a 2016 F150 with 222,000 miles and hope that I can easily make it past 300,000!
-
Both turbos launched on my 3.5 Transit 250 with about 125,000 miles on it. I relied on the vehicle's maintenance system for oil changes. I researched oils and filters, changed both and never go over 5,000 miles between oil changes. The engine is coming up on 270,000 miles. Thank you for this video. I hope it helps people avoid the grief and expense of turbo issues.
-
Your channel should be called Ford Technician School. Thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge with the world.
-
As a tech my self, now retired i believe in maintenance. On my 2012 150 4x4 5.0l i set my oil change reminder to 40% which works out to 5000km or 3000 miles. Like a vintage fram oil filter commercial said (as he was flipping a filter) pay me now or pay me later.
-
I remember when these engines first showed up, the initial skepticism revolved around longevity concerns. You've shown that a properly maintained twin turbocharged V/6 can last for many miles and be reliable. Thanks for all your videos.
-
That engine still went over 200k miles. That is pretty impressive. I know a van driver who put over 400k miles on his 3.5 ecoboost before selling the van. Engine was never opened up and still original turbos. Of course he had perfect maintenance. The 3.5 ecoboost is a good engine if maintained properly.
-
I always reset my oil change minder to 50% after oil change. That usually works out to be around 5000 miles. 283000+ on my 11 ecoboost
-
Agree on changing the oil. You have to wonder how long the customer went after the light came on time after time?
-
I went in February to my local ford dealer and I got everything I needed and the man at the counter asked if I really wanted to get into this project I said yes because I have been working on my own stuff for years and I have all the tools except for a 2 post lift so it might of taken me longer than a everyday mechanic but I did it right and saved myself money so I could justify buying some more tools
-
I just bought a 2019 f150 stx with the 2.7 and it has 116k miles. It still runs like new. The previous owner taken it to the dealership every 4k miles. I put a boroscope down intake and everything was clean. Maintenance is everything.
-
Every 3000 miles with synthetic high mileage oil on my 2015 Escape Titanium 2.0 with 132,000 miles...oil is crystal clear at and after oil change. Well worth it IMHO. Snappy little engines that make driving so much fun!
-
My 2018 Raptor had first 3 changes "early"; 3,000, 3,000, and 4,000 miles; at 5,000 there after. At 55,000 I notice first episode of phaser rattle. Dayhem. I was unaware of the screens on the turbo oil lines. Looks like they could do more harm than good since the oil pump should be supplying filtered oil. You are very informative! THANKS!
-
I’ve tired watching other ford info channels but Brian/Bryan continues to prove he knows what he’s talking about. I’d rather interrupt my movie and watch your videos.
-
This is why i run an amsoil dual remote filter. It's amazing how well that has protected my engine
