Very informative and reassures my choice for the 2.7.
Thanks for sharing this video! I’m not a gearhead and it helped me wrap my mind around what I ordered and how to keep it maintained.

Solid video.
Somewhat of an aside… but when I was at the dealership the other day there was another customer there looking to switch to the 2.3L after hearing about dropped valves on Bronco6G.
For those considering on doing the same thing… I wouldn’t. It’s probably safe to say that the 2.7L is one of Ford’s most-produced engines thanks to it being a popular option (perhaps THE most popular option?) on the F-150. And dropped valve problems due to assembly issues almost always occur within the first 10,000 miles, within the warranty period.

Howdy, excellent video. Would you be able to do one on 2.7 oil change? I plan on doing my own oil because of bad experience from dealers and oil change shops.
Thanks

Here is one that was posted awhile ago in the forums, unfortunately I couldn't find the post, but I did fine the video:
Keep in mind that there is some confusion with the amount of oil that goes into the 2.7L. The manual says 7 quarts, but users are discovering it only holds 6 quarts. In my personal experience it holds around 6.3 quarts.
So... I guess the jury is still out on it. But just keep an eye on it and don't blindly put in 7 quarts thinking that is the correct amount of oil. It may not be.
Thanks I watched that video but I think I’d rather get Bronco Wild Outdoor Video on oil change. He would better cover the process also regarding oil type and filter.

He says to use the factory specifications for oil but also says to use a full synthetic . . . the owner’s manual says to use a synthetic blend.
The reason this is confusing to me is (1) I know nothing about engine oil and (2) I’ve had the oil changed at two different dealers now and both times they’ve asked me if I want full synthetic or a blend, and I’m like
whatever the owner’s manual says, guys.

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.

I too was mega confused and asked my dad about it (retired Ford engineer). He gave me about a 30 minute in-depth explanation about it all. Super interesting, never knew so much went into engine oil.He says to use the factory specifications for oil but also says to use a full synthetic . . . the owner’s manual says to use a synthetic blend.

The TL;DR version is that if you are changing your oil every 3000-5000 miles it really doesn't matter too much. If you are changing it 7500-10000 miles, should definitely look at full synthetic.

Thank you! I’ll stick with the blend since there’s no way I’m going 5k without changing the oil.
