The car had some miles 97000 .Local Dealer had tent sale on trade ins rather than sending to auction. I paid asking price with "As Is" terms. The vehicle had no oil showing on dipstick after 1000 miles. Engine light came on checked fluids, no oil on dipstick. Happened again after 2000 miles, Ford dealer had me replace ecoboost turbo relief valve and valve cover (800 USD plus $500 labor). Drove and problem was worse. Had compression test, two valves showed low compression and engine smoked. At first it was the second bank as the oil misted out the drivers side exhaust only.
Based upon the fact that this engine with ecoboost was only sold from7/ 6/2009 to 6/13/2011, the company must have realized they had a bad build on this model engine. The same engine was placed in the Lincoln MKS and the Ford Taurus. Engine 3.5L v6 DI
