Just hit 100'000 on my 18 Escape 2.0 and No Issues yet. Been a great car

241k on my 2.0 EcoBoost powered Fusion titanium, little oil drip we can't figure out but it always runs so good too...never lets me down

If taken very good care of they can last, but I am still very glad I instead found my '17 Fusion with the 2.5 NA Duratec. Engine has been flawless maintenance-wise ever since my possession at 64K miles. Not very quick at all but I'm not a sporty driver. I'm boring and just want to get to work reliably so that I can pay my bills lol.

I love my 2.0L Ford Explorer ecoboost. Take care of it and it will take care of you. Drives like a dream.

2016 Escape 2.0 EcoBoost with 102k and counting - 29 mpg highway. No oil leaks. Oil changed every 3,000 miles.

I have a 2020 Lincoln Corsair with the 2.0L purchase new, 39km on it now. So far very satisfied with this engine, very quiet runs great, hate the start/stop an I usually shut it off after I first start the vehicle. Only problem was the all wheel drive module was replaced under warranty. The rear brakes & rotors went after only 20kms & weren’t covered by the warranty. My previous vehicle was 2013 Ford Escape 1.6L which was noisy & not enough HP.

Retired 50 year mechanic. I don’t care what they tell you, start stop puts more wear on your starter, oil pressure is zero when not running so it has to come up to pressure when starting up again. Creating more bearing wear. I won’t own a car with it unless I can turn it off!

Good reference to FordTech channel. You answered my question on the carbon buildup. That tells me what I need to know. I am considering the Maverick and was trying to decide between the ecoboost or the 2.5L hybrid engine. Sounds like I should just avoid the ecoboost. Thanks for the info. I think I will wait for the hybrid then. Your input is priceless on this.

I’ve have a 2.0 eco boost in a 2013 Ford Explore Limited, It has 240,000 miles been absolutely dependable! The turbo was replaced at 200,000 miles, Never cleaned intake valves. Just took a 5000 mile trip to Idaho, Moab Utah and up to Canada it averaged 23.5 mpg for the whole trip! Did a fantastic job in the mountains…. Yes they are great engines and much better and stronger than the weak 2.5!

We run Amsoil Signature oil 12,000 miles with oil analysis. Getting 22.6 mpg average in our 17 Edge.

I had a 2.0L in my old 2013 ford escape SEL. Engine went on it while I was driving it, a rod went tho the block. Only had 194,000kms on it. That too me wasn’t high mileage.

Fitted a oil catch can to my 2.0 on my ST and it has made a major difference to intake valve maintenance. Should be compulsory on all these engines.

thank you! That confirms my plans on the Maverick.

I can say, I’m waiting on my maverick XL hybrid 2023 but I currently drive a 2016 Malibu 1.5 turbo and it’s butter smooth and quiet. Not noisy at all. Some direct injection noise when you open the hood but man the 2.0 maverick XLT I test drove at my local dealership was obnoxiously noisy. Then I did a hybrid escape and made my decision after it was butter smooth.

The Ford 3.0 Duratec V6 is a great engine. Had two cars with them and were so reliable and plenty of power. Great fuel millage

Best thing I did when I got my 2.0 was install a BOV and since 15k-115kmiles zero issues whatsoever

I love the 2.0 in my 2018 focus ST. I do clean the intake valves once a year myself. I found a really easy way to do it and it takes me about two hours. Thanks for the review.

I've got a 2015 Ford Edge with a 2 l and a 6 speed transmission . Runs really smooth and with 78,000 miles on it the only maintenance I have ever done is change the oil every 6000 miles

2017 Ford Edge 2.0 ECOBOOST I have with 75k miles in Ruby Red. This is one of my favorite cars I have ever had. Found out yesterday I have coolant intrusion in cylinder 1. Engine replacement required. A Ford claim has been submitted and waiting what if/anything they will do. My mom was the Ford plant manager’s admin until she retired. This is devastating, total loss I am worried. If you have a 2.0 engine in the years 2016-2020, you are at risk. Ford corrected the defect by 2020-2021 from what I have been advised.

If you think this is noisy, drive a toyota rav

Absolutely correct but you can help matters with carbon buildup by using premium gasoline since this is a high compression engine and CHANGING the oil frequently every 3K to 5K miles depending on how it is driven and use only quality GF6 specs. Carbon buildup is across all makes/models on all GDI engines without port injection - welcome to 2022. 2.0 is a damn good engine (despite noise) so just plan on walnut blasting with Ford Tech M. when you reach 40 or 50K miles. Now when the Maverick goes AWD Hybrid ... it will be sold out in 1 day instead of 1 week.

I have a 2022 Edge. It is the buzziest engine I have ever owned. I know it can be quiet too since it was for the first 500 miles on the odometer.

Have one in my new to me 18’ MkZ with 29k miles. Not as smooth as the venerable 4.6 2v v8 that’s in my Town Car and less off the line torque but overall I like it. You’re right it’s not a particularly good sounding engine and if engine sound is important to someone they should go with the v6.

I have the 2.0 ecoboost in my mkz Lincoln and love it. I had the same concern on the shifting until reset the adaptive learning control in the TCM which is easy to do, now it shifts like a dream, and running Chevron Tecron in a tank of gas occasionally eliminates the carbon problem.

I have the 2.0 Ford edge eco booster diesel , and it’s great, but service intervals are a must with this engine, don’t listen to Ford service bulletin, every 5 k service , 🇬🇧

2015 edge 2.0 awd. 155k miles on original motor and turbos. New tranny at 127k miles. Blew up. Change your PTU fluid!

My Bronco Sport Badlands has none of the jerky shifting you speak of. In fact, I find it quite smooth shifting and the engine to be quite smooth as well. Yeah, the engine sounds like a sewing machine at idle, but I ride a Harley Davidson and I'm used to that noise so it's not an issue with me. As long as it runs solid and gets me where I am going, I am happy. Like anything else proper and timely maintenance goes a long way. The 2.0 is a great engine but I am considering installing a catch can oil/vapor separator to help with the carbon issues. I have one on my Harley Davidson and they work really well at helping to avoid excessive carbon buildup on the valves and pistons.

2016 Escape 1.6L echo blew up at 106k. Dealer told me 1 1/2 year ago they did not know what the problem was. Told me to bring it back when it breaks down. Complete waste.

Yeah I wish they would have made the hybrid in a all wheel drive system

Alot of the new ford 2.0 4 cyl 1.5 3cyl are not coming with the engine cover they make a world of difference with direct injection noise.

Thank you bro.

Hello, I have fusion 2.0 ecoboost and I have had a problem for some time. I'm getting fuel into the oil and the oil level is rising. I have already replaced the injectors but the problem has not gone away. Maybe someone had? Please help

WHAT ABOUT AN OIL CATCH CAN ??? I AM THE SECOND PERSON TO TALK ABOUT THIS AND HAVE NOT SEEN A REPLY SO FAR ! WILL THIS REDUCE CARBON BUILD-UP ??

They say starting and stopping the engine is what adds the highest amount of wear to an engine. Is that still a thing with hybrids like the 2.5 litre maverick

at 126,000 and I'm having a really bad oil leak and I think it's starting to eat up coolant. stressing about it

The carbon buildup issue was fixed in 2020 when they added port injection to the 2 l EcoBoost. The EcoBoost is becoming a proven engine with long-term reliability so long as maintenance isn't ignored. Forget about 10,000 mi oil changes that's not happening. Same thing goes for the transmission differential and PTU. Those fluid should be done much earlier than the recommended schedule

Just hit 105k miles and check engine light is now on with a misfire code. Looks like I am going to be shelling out $7k on a new engine 🤬

I had the 3.0l. Slow, slow not go. It will go forever and didn't care where you drove it.

Brian is FordTechMakuloco's name . .

I have a question about the Maverick hybrid. When you start out on a cold morning only the electric motor is working at slow speed. Then when you need power the gasoline engine kicks on with no time to warm up. Does that damage the 2.5 liter gasoline engine?

Auto break not safe

Not true on carbon cleaning interval; 100,000. When the new Rangers come out with the 2.7L (with both direct injection and port injection) I will be trading in my 2024 Maverick.

what the longevity of 2.0 ecoboost can it last 250k miles?

Toyota natural aspirated V6 or nothing. Yes it loves gasoline, but it saves you money and the environment in the long run by having to buy less replacement parts, less maintenance, less engines and labor costs, IF you can't fix it yourself.

My last Ford was a 2015 Fusion SE for the wife. Last Ford I will ever own! Switched to Toyota and have not looked back. Yes I will be buying a new Tundra soon and have ZERO worries about the Waste Gate issue. Why Toyota? Not because they are perfect, but because they stand behind their products unlike Ford. When Toyota had the Camry Oil consumption issues back in early 2000's due to trying an eco-friendly ring design they extended warranties and fixed them at no charge to customer. Same with the Tacoma trucks that had the rust issues they extended the warranties and took care of the owners. Ford on the other hand Does not stand behind what they build they knew for a LONG time about the Coolant Intrusion and it being a Block design flaw, they knew before they released the Power shift transmissions that they were problematic because the engineers told them do not release them yet, but did. That is the true Ford Motor Company most of you support. Junk company that needs to go out of business.

😮 no little boss

It needs an update to include dual Port and Direct injection

My wife just passed down her escape down to me.175ooo. Miles tyranny needs repaired or replaced. Not told to change tyranny fluid. Every30 thousand miles.! Ouch

I disagree about choosing the hybrid Maverick good luck when you need a new battery

SMOOTH but noisy????

What you couldn't Ring a Kia??😅

lawnmower motor

These ecoboost engines have proven very unreliable, and do not give good mpg. I'll never buy another Ford.
