Ford 2.7 Ecoboost Oil Pan Replacement (Complete Guide)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 лип 2024
- In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the oil pan, and oil pan seal on a 2.7 L Ford eco-boost engine. These engines come in the Ford 150, Ford Edge, and Lincoln MKZ, vehicles starting in 2015. A oil pan leak is a very common problem with these motors and if not repaired correctly and timely can lead to serious engine failure. As you may or may not know the oil pans on these vehicles are plastic and if not torqued down correctly, can leak. It’s also important to note you should never reuse these oil pans. Ford specifically states that the oil pan is a one time use part and cannot be used and reused again. Below are the links to the parts and tools used in this video. I hope you found it helpful. Please like and subscribe. Thank you for watching
Due to ford being difficult, i am unable to post the link to the proper oil pan bolt toque sequence. start in the middle and work towards the edge bolts, alternating sides on each bolt. torque spec is 89 in lbs, NOT 89 FT LBS.

Great video, very thorough and informative. I took my truck in to look into having this done by a mechanic and they wanted $1300 to address this!! You just saved me over a thousand dollars, feel like I owe you a beer or something.
This is an amazing video, I think it couldn't be better explained by UA-cam, it shows the necessary tools and the links to the parts, very professional.
Great video!! My ‘18 2.7 is currently at my local Ford dealer having the oil pan replaced under the 5/60 warranty.
They didn’t even hesitate to do the work, which surprised me after all the horrible things I’ve heard from others when it comes to dealer doing the work. Keep up the great work! 👍
We have 6 2018 F150s 2.7 in the fleet. So far so good (knock on wood). One leaking oil pan at 124K miles and One turbo inlet hose failure at 65K. They have been reliable trucks with basic maintenance. These 6 cylinder 2.7 trucks are torque work horses and get the job done. Mid to late 30s OTD new and cheap to fix / maintain comparing our diesel fleet repair cost. Thanks for the post Aaron.
We need more people like you in this world, thank you so much for this informative video. Just Subscribed :)
Very clear video and explicit to minimun details, thank you, good work Gabriel
Mine is in the dealer ship right now, 5-5-20 , took it in for an oil change yesterday, technician called me back to see all the oil leaking, so I brought it to where I bought it and they have it now. I really hope the technician knows what he's doing. It's a 2019,with 10,000 miles. Like the truck, hope I don't have to many more problems.
Best video I've seen yet. Fantastic job.
Thanks for the support!
Great video man. Thanks so much. Very thorough!
Just a suggestion for anyone who's going to do this job themselves or at a shop.
1. Remove pan and let oil drip out for 24 hours.
2. Make sure the surface is clean, AND WITHOUT ANY OIL when applying silicone
3. After installing new pan let it dry for 24 hours before putting new oil.
That's what I've done, it's been 2 weeks and no oil leaks.
Good luck.
The New (Aug 2019) 19-2205 TSB does not recommend the 24 hour drying time. I am hoping my 4th replacement with the new TSB gets me better results. Good luck
Leaking yet?
Any updates?
So? How's that oil pan leak repair holding up, any updates? 🤔
Had no oil leak for about 6 months, then after a couple of camping trips with a 26 ft. camping trailer noticed oil drops on the ground, it's leaking in the same place. I'm in the process of making my own gasket. Will write an update on how that worked out.
Great vid not to long and right to the point
Why hasn't the aftermarket made a steel or aluminum replacement pan yet. They would sell like the cabbage patch dolls did at Christmas years ago.
I’ve called tons of the aftermarket companies in the game and none them make it for the 2.7 only the 3.5. And I agree there is plenty of sales to be made on these pans. I for one would buy one fast. They need to realize a lot of people have wised up with smaller engine for better gas. Is it too much to ask for a engine not to leak oil?
There is one aluminum. 600 bucks.
@@cesuazo06 send the link. You sure it’s for the 2.7?
?@@brett639 2 years later have you found an aluminum oil pan for the 2.7?
I just saw one on Amazon. $140. Aluminum. Made in China of course so who knows how good it is.
Best video , thank you , great job !
Really like the video really well detailed all the way threw..thnx
Sweet video. All I've heard is how much of a nightmare this is. But, it doesn't look bad at all💯
Thanks you really took the mystery out of this-
What's the torque requirement for the 4 cross member bolts?
Dealer replaced my pan under power train warranty. 4 months later I got some popping, cracking, clunking sounds. Thought I have a ball joint problem but found that the cross member bolts were not torqued enough. I then torqued them to 50lbft.
There is a hell of a lot more to doing the 4x4 than just removing 3 bolts. Diff doesnt lower anywhere near enough. Wish i had never followed this advice. Now it all gets put back together and towed to the dealership.
Good job on the video. I have a 2015 F150 with a 2.7 Ecoboost. Every time I change the oil, I look for the dreaded oil pan leak but so far, so good. Have 62,xxx trouble free miles.Is this something I should just do as a preventative? or just leave it alone until it starts leaking? I did notice some seepage around the drain plug, but nothing around the pan/engine block itself.
The pan is defective from ford. There is an updated oil pan they replace them with, but really wouldn’t do it until it’s leaking
@@KasparrTV How would i know im buying the updated Oil Pan if I am looking to do this job myself?
thanks for the video. did you replace the transmission fluid you lost?
Very well video made.
Hi Aaron what’s the safest way to reduce carbon build up on valve on 2.7 eco boost ???
I have a 2019 F150 2.7, 44k miles. I've noticed oil on the front cover below the oil filter housing...particularly around the bolt. Where is this leak coming from? Just the thought about taking it to ford dealer under factory warranty, I may not have my truck for 3 weeks!
Thanks for the video. Have you ever had to do the transmission pan for a 2017 F-150 3.5l ecoboost? Seems they went to the plastic design as well. Looking, I need to replace both the oil pan and the transmission pan.
Get a PML cast aluminum 10R80/60 pan way better
So my issue is the oil coming from the drain plug. I notice it slowly leaking. I have gotten new plugs and it's the same problem. Would I need a new oil pan? And has ford made their pans more reliable? I'd just hate to buy a new one and then happens again consistently
Great video God coverage.
I have a 2020 f150 platinum do I have to worry about my truck oil pan leaking as of right now I only have 4120 miles on it
I think I have to do this to my 2016. Took it to quick lube today and they said there is leak and don’t know if it’s from the drain plug or not
Nice video.
What is the rubber seal you replaced after you took down the oil pan?
I have a 2017 F-150 with 26,000 miles. Its been in the shop 6 times and it still leaks. The last 2 times it was in the shop it started to leak the day I picked it up. Very frustrating.
Good Video
Do you use thread lock on the oil pan bolts?
Do you have to remove the transmission cooler lines?
Great video! I'm pretty sure my 18 2.7 is seeping, but i'm not going to bother dropping it off for warranty. Dealer is too far away, and this is cheap enough.
Not sure if you are still dealing with this but there in a new pan for the 18+ that has a gasket built into it, should fix your problem.
@@iisreset Is there any chance there is one updated with the gasket for the 2015 2.7l?
I ordered the tube seal from your link and they sent the wrong seal so I’m not sure if it is an issue with your link or just them messing up. They sent a gasket # F1AZ-6626-A 1x. Sent them an email to rectify the error so we will see.
Anyone ever install an oil pan heater on this ? I don’t feel right putting one on and where would we put it on being plastic with all those grids on the bottom
Just bough myself 2018 f150 2.7l... Never new that they got issues with that
Please tell me there's a metal replacement oil pan out there somewhere.
Nice!!
One thing. The TSB for this at least on my Lincoln, recommends after the pan is removed, letting the oil drain out overnight so that dripping oil doesn’t contaminate the wet rtv.
Does anyone know where to find this oil pan. everywhere i look they're always out of stock.
did you use jacks or jack stands?
I would take the new plan and make an actual gasket... make a paper template using the pan.. them get some gasket material and have at it..
How many ft lbs is it I know you said 89 inch pounds but I do not have an inch pound torque wrench maybe 7.5 ft pounds
My 2018 is on it's 4th oil pan . It's at the dealership right now. . Supposed to pick it up today ,but they either didn't do it right or start it up with no oil.
Last Ford I buy. !!!
How has this held up?
Thanks for the great video. I'm replacing oil pan on my F-150 2.7L EcoBoost, but its 4x4 and I have hard time getting the oil pan out. I've removed the 3 bolts & dropped front axle as low as I can. But still can't get the oil pan out, it's like there's not enough clearance. Any help/hints is greatly appreciated.
Interesting, what seems to be in your way, were is it making contact?
Were you able to get the differential out of to change the pan?
@@warrenlange6106 initially I had the truck on the "drive on ramps" - and that's when I was having problems removing the pan. Once I lift the truck, the front axle dropped another inch or two - pan came out just fine.
Doing my 2016 4x4 tomorrow. Was going to use drive up ramps, but sound like that wont work to lower the axel enough to get the pan out. Will use jacks instead. Want to make sure I know what three bolts to remove to drop axel. Can you describe?
@@shassoldt So how did the job go changing your oil pan ? Did the jack stands help with the axle clearance ? and did you find the correct 3 bolts ? I am just gaining info to use later. Thanks
Can you tell me how the 2015 Ford Ecoboost Mustang 4 cylinder Turbo would differ from this one?
This is a v6 with larger displacement and stronger block
Could you elaborate on the 3 bolts that need to be removed to drop the front differential? What 3 bolts?
The bolts holding up the front diff 🤣. There's 3, 2 on the left 1 on the right.
My 2015 F150 XLT 2.7 is leaking oil. I took it to the mechanic and he said the oil pan needs to be replaced. He mentioned that the sealant will have to sit for 24 hours before driving the vehicle. You may have mentioned that in this video and I might have missed it. Does the sealant need 24 hours to set up prior to driving the vehicle and building oil pressure? Thanks for your help. Great video.
How much did they quote you
Why does the dealer say they take hours to cure the sealant and you didn't
I am on my fourth oil pan replacement now. Had the truck 4 months. Last one lasted 4000 miles. Going back to the dealer again. Glad I bought the extended warranty. This is a very poor design. Plastic expands and contracts ten times more than steel. A first year Pipefitter could tell you that
Likewise. I am going in for my fourth oil pan leak on my 2017 Fusion Sport 2.7 with only 10 months of power train warranty left. I have 30,000 miles on the car in just four years. Unlike you, I didn’t buy the extended warranty. Who knew ?
Does anyone sell a metal oil pan replacement?
Did Ford start installing cork based oil pan gaskets on their 2.7L engines instead of using silicone compound on 2021+ vehicles from the factory? Did it fix the problem? Or it just a wishful thinking and roomers on behalf of despaired?
Ford just replaced my oil pan and still dripping oil. They claim its the oil that had accumulated on the striker plate (no clue what that is) from the leak they fixed and that it will drip a bit over next couple weeks. Does that make sense? Seems like they would have cleaned any accumulation when they replaced the pan.
Mine is 2016 ecoboost 4x2
I did one and didn’t let it drain out completely and came back 3 days later. doing it again , waited 24hrs to drain and install pan, let the rtv dry for 5 hrs and I’m about to add oil and start it. Hoping for the best
How did your repair hold up? Did you use the Motorcraft rtv or a common parts store type?
My 5.0 plastic pan is leaking too, appointment tomorrow...
Have a feeling the 4WD version would suck to do
2017 F150 3.5 ecoboost 4wd here, about to replace my oil pan. This truck has been a pain since the beginning. Wiper motor seized, lug nuts swollen, 4WD actuator went out and now this. Unfortunately, ford hasn’t done a thing to fix these issues or even recalled to help out. Frustrating, been a ford driver my whole life but Chevy is sounding better and better everyday.
I have 2017 3.5L, and I just noticed it leaking. Is the replacement basically the same? Do they make an aftermarket aluminum pan?
jadoriffic did you ever find an answer or get it fixed
Ford quoted me today $1200
I think they are crazy as hell lol
Let me know
@@jacobparker4727 Mine is still under warranty, so I just had then fix it. If it wasn't under warranty I would just do it myself. I'm sure I could do a better job than them anyway. They don't make an aftermarket aluminum pan, at least not that I could find. Good luck, bro
@@jadoriffic I've had the pan replaced on truck every year since I bought it brand new 5 years ago. It's frustrating that they haven't come up with a better solution than to just replace like for like... I'm to the point of getting a new truck, but am concerned Ford is still following this same practice with their newer models.
As of March 20th 2023, Ford released a new TSB for 2015-2017 oil pans. They discontinued the gasketless oil pans and built new ones with gaskets. My dealer in Orlando managed to get two and they want to replace what's now my 3rd new oil pan. I'm crossing my fingers.
do you by chance have the link to buy the oil pan
@@victorlugo6227 I dont have a link but the TSB for the updated oil pan on 2015-thru 2017 2.7 ecoboost is TSB 23-2083. The Oil pan part # is JT4Z-6675-E . Keep in mind the TSB States if you don't have the updated Valve Covers, you will have to replace them.
Plastic oil pans are just stupid.
I have a 16 with the 2.7 currently at 45000 miles, only drive about 8000 miles a year, besides this issue are there other issues common with this motor? So far it’s been just fine and no leak.
I'm up to 110k miles and the only issue I've experienced is the oil pan, continually...
Why so expensive on 4wd? Does the front differential have to come out?
GNR325 yes, it’s 6hrs. to do it. Because of that front differential. That guy is lucky no front differential to remove.
My 2015 has 25K miles and is already leaking oil.
After watching this vid I’m struggling to understand how TF the dealership tried to charge me 1300$ with a straight face.
How many miles does that truck have? Great video!
Thanks! Truck in the video had 138k
Phew, I was starting to worry my 2016 Regular cab 4x4 2.7 has 35,000 on it..
My 2015 4x4 has 53,195 miles and I'm on my 3 oil pan. All pans have been replace by my local Ford dealership. They act dumbfounded every time I bring it in
@@ronaldmorrison2571 Le Bummber, I have a 2020 2.7l F150.. I must say whomever designed this RATs 🐀 nest of an Engine clearly never had an Engineer degree. A V6 is a SYMETRIC engine..., 2, 3 cylinders block banks.. the Engine should look so.. air intakes etc...
How much is this work? I have a 2018 expedition max platinum 4WD. The dealership was charging me over 900 bucks for this work.
2017 F-150 4x4 XLT - I just got a quote from my Ford dealership to replace the leaking oil pan. $1600!!
The oil pan the same as a 2018 mustang?
10r80_Nick mustangs are a 2.3 engine, not 2.7. If it’s a plastic pan it should be similar
One time use? Does that mean the oil pan needs to be replaced every oil change?
Yes, it will leak after the repair despite his best effort.
Metal pan with gasket would solve a lot of problems. Would also avoid a lot of angry conversations with Ford. Have never had this problem with my oil pan. 280k miles on my Sierra. Don't get me wrong, this is just a dumb move on Ford's part.
All plastics change shape over time and temperature, heating and cooling cycles... ALL plastic pans are DOOMED to change shape and leak... LAWYERS will redesign this FLAW.
Hello Aaron! I think Ford now has a new oil pan design with a gasket available now Let me go find the part # and put it on here if that is ok with you.
What’s the code
Is this the same for my AWD Edge sport?
Literally just finished my AWD Edge Sport. You must drop the subframe to allow room to shimmy the pan sideways over the sub-frame and then back under the exhaust pipe after the Cat. the sub-frame can be lowered so its just hanging from its bolts. Disconnect the subframe from the trans mount first.
I have a 2017 Fusion Sport and looking at my fourth oil pan leak. Big problem for this engine regardless of which vehicle it is in. Same subframe drop for my Fusion.
Dose the 5.0 have these problems ?
Ashraf Hameed If it’s a 2018 and newer.
Anyone know the repair cost if done at the dealer? Or if it would be fixed under warranty if odometer is 42k miles?
They wanted to charge me over 900 bucks.
$1500 is what they’re trying to charge me. 4wd
5.5 hours of work is what I was told…$550 for the labor alone!
Ford never lets me down with stupid things. In the 5.4 with Spark plugs that snap off in the engine and Phaser's, and now this BS?
Aaron, didn’t you have to wait 24 hrs for the oil to drain completely out of the motor? That’s what I’ve been reading on the forums.
MUST let drain for 24hrs. Wipe surfaces with cleaner to ensure NO oil on surfaces. RTV needs CLEAN surface to stick to.
My guess is the gasket remover spray is why he has no issues.
You don’t have to remove the transmission cooler lines just an FYI.
Even on the 4x4 version?
Just finished changing the oil pan myself. Everything went smoothly except tightening the screws to 85 lbs that broke one of the screws and now i’m waiting until tomorrow to see if its leaking or not. Fu*k that plastic oil pan thing.
85 inch lbs not 85 lbs
As mentioned INCH lbs. NOT 85 FT. lbs!
Lol
3.5 ecoboost 2017 2wd
Ford is saying there is an upper oil pan and wanting $300 for that $54 for the lower pan $55 for that rtv and yea $800 for labor
They want to charge $800 to replace mine as well 2017 Ford F150 2.7 eco 89k miles. Watching this video makes it look easy but not sure if I could do it or how long it would take
did ford resolve this oil pan issue with the 2'nd gen 2.7 that was released in2018?
Apparently the new oil pans have a O-ring tape seal that helps with the leakage. However unfortunately those oil pans are not transferable to the earlier model 2.7 L
@@AaronHinesAuto total bs
2wd is easy 4/4 not so much front diff needs to come out as well.
You have stated that the oil pan is less than 100.00, but I looked online and found that the oil pan is averaging 200.00 and up
This video was made 2 years ago.
Just got my truck back from the dealer for the same fix..... “new oil pan has integrated rubber gasket” 4-29-2020
Just had mine redone June 2020. No idea if they used an integrated gasket but I’ve had the truck for 3 days and it’s still leaking. Lol this will be my 5th pan replacement in 3 years
Hi what year is your truck and engine do you have? I heard they couldn’t do and rubber gasket on the echoboost engines.
I am having the same issue
Leave it to engineers to switch to a plastic oil pan when steel has worked so well for so long. Wow. Shame on ford for not recalling these vehicles and fixing this mess once and for all.
On an unrelated note, the tsb says not to use metal scrapers to remove the gasket because they will scratch the aluminum surface. I see he used a razor. Nice.
I just got charged $1300 buy ford to change mine. All a sudden they said I had a oil leak. Said it was pouring in two locations
Oops..... 2018 f150 2.7
You have to at least let the oil drain out over night with the pan off. It’s going to leak again
ive done over 30 of these pans. never once left the truck over night. im sure it would help. but not mandatory.
Really. I didn’t do it one time and it leaked. But noted
Makes no sense whatsoever. If Ford just wanted to save weight, they should've put an aluminum oil pan on an aluminum engine using nothing other than anaerobic gasket maker for the seal. Unless oil pan sustains a major impact, anaerobic sealer is damn near impossible to break. In know this from personal experience because this is what my heavy duty diesel engine in my semi-truck uses, no leaks going on 1.3-million miles.
Full Synthetic 5w30 is overkill for these engines Ford engineered these engines to run synthetic blend from the factory even Motorcraft has further made it easier by selling Motorcraft oil 5w30 in a synthetic blend formulation.Stick to what Ford recommends they know what works best for these trucks.
All Ford motors ecoboost 2.7 and 3.0L turbo have the problem of the oil pan leaks. The problem is the quality of the oil pan is ERY BAD QUALTY. Ford changed the quality on the 2019 models and do nothing for the 2017??? WHY thank you Ford
They are wanting me to go through my 2nd oil pan leak in a year. For $900.00. I have read where some have had this done as much as 10 times. The average seems to be 4-5 times. Why no recall on this crap. The oil pan is plastic. WTF!!!!!! In the message below the video it says "oil pan is a very common problem with these motors". I see a class action lawsuit in the future.!!!!!!
Class ACTION Lawsuit.. Ford should wake the F Ford up since they gave up on cars...
Well. Ford just lost me. Soon to purchase, but not a Ford with plastic oil pan.
Plastic oil pan is beyond stupid! This is the kind of crap that made me stop buying fords!
I'm on my 3rd pan on my 2017 f150 2.7. 16k miles. Pathetic
Holy smokes! That’s depressing
@@AaronHinesAuto well if I get 4 pans by 2022. It's a buy back
Going on my 4th one, for my 2015.... I wish ford would buy back these defective trucks. unfortunately I am stuck with the damn thing.
@@sethchiaroproductions2171 yeah its pretty sad they can't make a decent oil pan gasket. Did the same dealer repair yours everytime? Or multiple places?
@@alexmartin1430 I've been having the same dealership "fix", it. I just had it done 6 months ago. I took in for an oil change at a Firestone to do an oil change. They found the leak and was advised by management not go forward with the oil change. So it seems everytime I get an oil change I am replacing the oil pan. I wish ford would buy the truck back... its frustrating. So far it's been covered under warranty. The oil pan is supposed to last the life of the vehicle... I like the truck. That's the only issue i have had.
Not worth it. I just put a piece of cardboard on the floor. Not really leaking enough to go through all this BS.
The two piece aluminum & plastic pan has been replaced with a new full aluminum version and oil pump pick up. The plastic pan will leak again despite all his efforts. Great video otherwise.
I refuse to buy any vehicle with a plastic pan. This is beyond cheap. It tells you a lot about their idea of quality. They can’t even go for a stamped steel pan.
More plastic Ford junk 80000 for a plastic truck Ford get real hell just build the whole truck out of plastic all they want is 80000 dollars for a truck
