Maintaining a Ford F-150, whether it’s the 3.5L EcoBoost or the legendary 5.0L Coyote, requires the same precision I apply to calibrating a high-end cinema lens. Your engine’s longevity depends entirely on how well you filter out microscopic contaminants. After years of monitoring oil analyses and cutting open canisters, I’ve found that the OEM Motorcraft…
