โ๏ธ Engine Specifications
Engine Options 2013 2014:
2.5L I4 (GDI), 1.6L EcoBoost I4 Turbocharged (GDI), 2.0L EcoBoost I4 Turbocharged (GDI), 2.5L I4 Hybrid (Atkinson cycle).
2.5L I4 (Standard):
Approx. 175 hp @ 6000 rpm, 175 lb-ft @ 4500 rpm.
1.6L Ecoboost I4 Turbo:
Approx. 178 hp @ 5700 rpm, 184 lb-ft @ 2500 rpm.
2.0L Ecoboost I4 Turbo:
Approx. 237 hp @ 5500 rpm, 250 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm.
2.5L Hybrid:
Combined system output approx. 188 hp.
Fuel Delivery:
Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection (SEFI) with Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) for EcoBoost and standard engines. Electronic throttle control.
Fuel Type:
Unleaded gasoline (87 octane recommended, higher for EcoBoost variants for optimal performance).
Coolant Type:
Ford Super Premium Engine Coolant (Green) or equivalent meeting Ford Specification WSS-M97B51-A1.
Oil Change Interval:
Every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first, when using synthetic blend or synthetic oil. Shorter intervals recommended under severe driving conditions.
Tire Rotation:
Every 10,000 miles (16,000 km).
Cabin Air Filter:
Every 20,000 miles (32,000 km) or annually.
Engine Air Filter:
Every 30,000 miles (48,000 km).
Engine Oil Spec:
SAE 5W-20, meeting Ford Specification WSS-M2C945-A or WSS-M2C945-B1 (for EcoBoost engines, check specific manual for exact requirement, may also be 5W-30).
Coolant Capacity:
Approx. 7.7 quarts (7.3 liters) for 2.5L and EcoBoost engines.
Common Complaints:
Potential for transmission issues (e.g., harsh shifting, slipping) in some 6F35 transmissions, coolant leaks from the thermostat housing, and occasional infotainment system glitches (MyFord Touch).
Eco Boost Considerations:
Requires adherence to correct oil specifications to prevent potential turbocharger issues. The 1.6L EcoBoost can be prone to coolant loss issues if not maintained properly.
