Agreed meep the air cond in mine seems a little weak.
300,000 mile Ford 2.7 Ecoboost V6 on Normal Maintenance ...

Thank you OP. I have a keen interest in this noteworthy consumer field study, in that I anticipate soon purchasing a 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid with the D4S fuel delivery technology Ford purchased from Toyota. The earlier banter, purportedly from Ford mechanics, was to avoid the 2.7L EB. Talk is cheap.
My similar personal driving conditions and many OCI's tell me this owner was driving in non severe conditions. Freeway miles are easy on oil. How often did the turbo actually kick in ? How many dry starts per day ? Of special note is the useage of synthetic blend 5W30 oil, more so than the 10k mile OCIs. I have been fixated on the idea of using only oil with highest quality basestocks, when going anywhere near GDI, let alone TGDI.

Is that so relevant? I mean the crankshaft made the same half a billion revolutions in 300,000 miles and the other wear parts a proportional amount, whether it took 5,000 hours or 10,000.

no really. if you look at the gear it's in and the lighter load, the crank has made arguably fewer revolutions that 300k in stop/go city driving. Plus since the average speed is higher, it's taken less time (engine hours) to achieve the mileage.
300k is still an impressive figure for the driveline and suspension wear items, and the vehicle in general, so it's worthy of note, but it's just good to keep in mind that it's a different kind of wear for different parts.

A gorgeous XLT Lariat model with everything but the kitchen sink and then you start it up and it sounds like it's ready to come apart! I am positive they cannot all be like that.
No such thing as an XLT Lariat model
It's either one or the other ...³ðŸ¤”ðŸ‘
But your right about not all are sucking oil down like crazy
The only two guys I know that have 5.0's in a ‘17 & an new ‘18 have no issues
Sorry about the missed ID, my intent was to convey that this truck is LOADED! Stunningly beautiful, what a disappointment to the proud owner who loves his Fords...

I have a thread on a popular Ford truck forum with a friends 2016 2.7 approaching 450,000 miles. He uses Motorcraft semi syn and changes it when the dashboard tells him to.

According to some BITOG members this is absolutely impossible.
he better check his mathematical skills.

FYI apparently it ended at 465k miles.

Also-that the start/stop starter systems will self destruct after a time. One of the most misunderstood concepts on this board-that THEY ARE DIFFERENT than a conventional starter system.
Not as high of mileage but the wife’s 2017 Escape 2.0 EB has 133k miles on it now, zero issues from it and I’ve been running 15-17k mile OCIs with Amsoil which I plan to switch to Valvoline EP and start shortening the OCI to just when the monitor says to change it
