    Ford 2017-2020 3.5 Ecoboost recall

    I got a message on FordPass about this 21B10 recall to reprogram the power module to fix cam phaser rattle. Does anyone know what this “reprogramming” actually does? Does it increase oil pressure parameters or what?

    2019 F150 3.5 Ecoboost.

    Anybody else experience the occasional blue smoke on start up? Every now and then I get blue smoke on a cold start. It’s been hard to pinpoint exactly when it will happen because it’s seemingly random under different driving conditions. This truck only has 11,000 miles on it but seeing blue...

    2019 F150 3.5 ecoboost

    How many have tried 0w40 in these 2nd generation engines and what success have you had with it? I know they’re notorious for fuel dilution, but was wondering if there is anything to the hype about being too thick. I was kicking around using Amsoil SS 0w40 that is 14.8 @100C and hths of 3.76.

    This mix is 50/50. Currently running in 2005 F150 5.4 3V. If all tests well in spring, I plan on using it in my 2019 F150 3.5 Ecoboost.

    Hours v mileage

    If a car does nothing but short trips and idling, would it be a better idea to change the oil according to hours v mileage?

    2018 Taurus 3.5 Duratec, Amsoil SS 0w30 4000 miles

    The paperwork with this sample got lost in the mail I guess. This is my wife’s car which does nothing but short trips or idling. This sample was on 4000 miles and 178 hours. Would it be a better idea to change it according to hours v miles with her type of driving?

    I'm a little confused. Wear metals are down, fuel dilution up. Should I be worried about anything?

    Amsoil SS 0w30 turned red

    My oil in my 2018 Taurus turned a definitive reddish color. The car has about 7400 miles and 3000 miles on the current oil. I searched the net and found other people having the same issue but nobody seemed to know why. After emailing Amsoil they stated it was perfectly normal and is caused by...

    2018 Ford Taurus 3.5 Duratec

    I'm generally assuming the elevated levels are because it's a new engine. Although I was surprised by the low TBN. Any thoughts?

    Mixing oils

    Any issues with mixing 3qts of 0w20 and 3qts of 0w30 for my next oil change? It's all Amsoil SS. It's going in a 2018 Taurus 3.5 N/A. Just curious wanting to use up what I had.
