Hello everyone, I’m new to the forum. I have a 2016 F150 3.5 Ecoboost which I purchased over two years ago. My first turbo engine ever. Just before having it a whole year it went to the dealership and they tore it down. Fixed all the common issues I had found out about the engine. Turbos , shearing exhaust bolts , water pump Etc. All replaced with the new upgraded parts. Didn’t touch the timing chain because it wasn’t having issues. And I don’t want issues. The work order was over $6k. I got off for $200.
The truck had 82,000 miles and now has 92,000 miles.
It actually runs way better than when I test drove it because I didn’t know better. To me it did well for a 6 cylinder. I traded a 2005 and had never heard of an Ecoboost until that day.
Ever since I’ve been searching for the perfect oil. A lot say they help with LSPI but mentioning nothing about other things.
I always make sure I’m getting above Fords specification.
During all my research this forum kept popping up and I have been reading a lot.
Why I haven’t joined sooner I don’t have a clue. This is the place to ask all my questions from my truck to wife’s car to outboard. Even grease.
I’m looking for the best and most recommended oil for my 2016 3.5 Ecoboost . I have searched until I thoiruoly confused myself. I don’t care if I have to order it I want to get 283,000 miles out of this F150 like I did my 2005.
I do believe in the Motorcraft filter but if there’s better I want it.
I’m in Texas and have triple digits most of the summer.
Can I please have some knowledge shared with me?
Thanks for reading plea.
