I didn't know shit about my Bronco's engine or the turbos. Now I feel like I can carry an intelligent conversation about it.

I like this guy.

Very informative! This engine isn't winning any beauty contests but it is very complex and makes sense now.

Curious what he thinks about the auto start/stop. That can't be good for an engine like this, right?

I think that's why the 2.7 oil drainback time is so long, it's designed to hold oil for auto stop/start.

Have had my 2.7 on my f150 with auto start with 130,000 miles since 2015 and it's been solid

Modern water cooled turbos = shut it off an walk away. Thermal siphoning keeps coolant circulating when not running.

Let me expand on this, you have to remember as engineers we have to design for the lowest common denominator user. Average Joe doesn't give a second thought about idling for cool down, warm up ect. They start, go, park, and leave.

Me, too. My F150 2.7 had 66,000 miles in 5 years. All i did was change the oil regularly and have the injector service done at the right time.

Right, so I'm curious, he's saying let your turbo engine warm up 10 minutes every time you start it from a cold start..... who plans for that, do you?

I appreciate that the guy says, "If you disagree with me , put it in the comments below."

By this, I don't think he means let it idle for 10 minutes in your driveway. He just means don't go hitting max boost and high rpm while it is still cold. Unless your driveway is on a major highway, I do not think you will need to do anything special other than taking it a little easy the first few minutes of driving.

Appreciated, have no clue as I'm new to the turbo world as well.

Remote start is a beautiful thing.

I think that's why the 2.7 oil drainback time is so long, it's designed to hold oil for auto stop/start.
So I went ahead and asked him directly about this on youtube:

Ford Bronco How the EcoBoost turbo system works and what you can do to make it last 1638295051711


Based on this and just to be safe, I'm firing my FORScan back up and making another change. ;)

The “issues” with modern auto start/stop are almost entirely fabricated by people on forums who just want something to complain about. Engineers have done a very good job of making the systems efficient and reliable.
