Great video Can you do one for the 2.3
I've driven a 2.7 EB for 5 years in my F150. I use the OEM Motorcraft synthetic blend and 87 octane gas. I've had zero issues and I get 23 mpg highway and 19 mpg around town.All these videos keep claiming the OEM recommended oil is full-synthetic. This is untrue. The vehicle comes with, and recommends, Motorcraft synthetic BLEND.
Of course, I think switching to synthetic is a good idea but I'm just surprised at how many of these knowledgeable, seemingly well-researched videos get this wrong.
And like he said, different 2.7.I've driven a 2.7 EB for 5 years in my F150. I use the OEM Motorcraft synthetic blend and 87 octane gas. I've had zero issues and I get 23 mpg highway and 19 mpg around town.
It might work! LOLI’m sorry officer, I was exercising the waste gates!!
there is a lot more at play then just letting the computer tell you when its time. I will say that by following that schedule you will definitely keep the epa happy, as well as make it safely through your warranty period.If Ford wanted us to change oil at first 1500 then it would have been programmed into the computer. With newer vehicles I now wait until the car says it's time.
Wow. No.Do you recommend adding oil catch can with the 2.7 eco?
Sorry, did you think people actually read, or think, before asking others questions?Wow. No.
As someone who has worked in the downstream side of the petroleum industry for 25+ years, I can tell you that while the majority of gasoline brands starts off with the same base product, the additive that is injected into it at the terminal side is substantially different. I highly recommend branded gasoline....Exxon, Shell, BP, etc.... I don't know that there is much difference in their additives (they all claim they have the best), but the amount that is added compared to unbranded stores (walmart, kroger, etc...) is huge. This may be what he means by premium gas....not necessarily 93 oct vs 87 oct.Good quality gas? How would you even know that? Also, I remember being told regular would be just fine, but OP says premium or quality regular, again how do I know? Thanks!
He did say premium and I agree with your determination of his meaning. BUT, near the end he states hp/torque numbers on 87 and the hp/torque numbers on 93 octane.!! I am hoping he meant the 93 numbers gained after a performance tune.!As someone who has worked in the downstream side of the petroleum industry for 25+ years, I can tell you that while the majority of gasoline brands starts off with the same base product, the additive that is injected into it at the terminal side is substantially different.
