i hear its transmissions, even the manuals, are sealed and don’t allow for regular fluid changes. that’s atop of the cylinder head wet belt or whatever issues these are known for.
2.0 Ecoboost as fitted to my Focus ST here. Oil changed every 5000 klms with fully synthetic SP grade oil, being GDI turbo I don’t lug the engine in 6th from ~2200 RPM onwards when accelerating on the freeway (I always change down to fifth in the instance I’m really loading up the engine). Just ticked over 125,000 klms without a single issue. Granted the 3 cylinder engine is problematic with it’s wet timing belt, but I’ve had no problem with the 2.0 EcoBoost.

All the Ecoboost have issues. But yeah, that 3 cylinder is specifically terrible.
