I did the water pump at 178k when I had it off to do the timing chain. There was nothing wrong with it but figured I might as well throw a new one on while I had it off anyways

It's hard to say, as there's multiple ways for them to fail. It might pick up a turbo bearing failure, but not a seal or something like that. Timing chain might show something, but it's also probably so gradual and slow that it may not

I do the transmission and transfer case about every 40-50k. Fluid always stays nice and bright red. It's completely original and shifts like new

Oh yea quite a few..... I live out in the boonies so pretty much anywhere I go is a bit of a drive. Even just going into town is a 15-20 min drive at near highway soeeds. And my daily commute is about 45 mins each way with only a handful of lights along the way

I did do the timing chain and cam phasers at 178k. That's the only bigger repair it's ever needed..... It's been a very reliable truck overall The MOA I've just always used it for a long time. I've been a Ford dealer tech for 23 yrs and we've used BG products in the shop for a long time now...

It's all been the same oil for every test.... Motul 8100 Eco-Lite 5w-30

Results for my 13 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost at 350,569 miles using Motul 8100 Eco-Lite 5w-30 and WIX filter. Looks like she's still doing pretty good overall. Everything is completely stock. Engine is original as well as turbos and injectors. I do use a can of BG MOA at every oil change. Oil was in for...

Yea I never see anybody else in the F-150 or Ecoboost groups that uses it either. I've used it in motorcycles for awhile now and always had good results, so I figured I'd try it in the truck too, lol. The 8100 Eco Lite specifically lists the Ford spec # for the Ecoboost, and I like the ester...

Motul 8100 Eco Lite 5w-30, BG MOA, and a WIX filter. 2013 F-150 3.5 Ecoboost with 302k miles.... This combo has treated me well 🙂

My 2013 F-150 turning 300k a few weeks ago..... It's at 302k now

Outside of a few common quirks, they're actually solid engines when properly cared for. They're just very sensitive to religious maintenance I did do the timing chain and cam phasers at 178k for the startup rattle..... I went ahead and did the guides and tensioner as well while I was in there...

Hahahah 🤣🤣🤣 Change is definitely hard for some 👆

Oh yea? I'll have to check it out. Both original turbos here and doing just fine

No I bought it used in 2019 with 160k from the original owner. It was an older guy that took very good care of it.... He had it dealer serviced every 5000 miles since new. It's still a very clean truck and runs/drives like new, so I plan on keeping it for as long as it'll stay going, lol. It's...

What's up everyone.... First post here and just wanted to get some opinions on how this looks. It sounds good from the comments, but y'all know a lot more about what all these numbers mean than I do. Truck just turned 300k miles on original engine..... Still runs like new. 2013 F-150 3.5...
