    Not really an issue if people who bought ones are educated by the dealers in the first place not to treat it like a NA engine. 😂😂😂

    Kung buyer pa magaadjust, hindi bebenta yan.

    People want the most hassle-free car ownership. Mga enthusiast lang yung mahilig sa sakit ng ulo.

    I'm surprised so many people here are treating a mildly boosted 143PS 1.5L engine as if it was a racecar/tuner engine. This is a normal engine, not a Civic Type-R engine.

    I don't see it that way.

    Not exactly the point... most people don’t know that turbo cars should be treated differently from a NA. For example, when the car is out of warranty, most people would opt to service their car outside casa. Usually, most people put in the easiest oil they can find... usually some cheap Shell or Petron oil... minsan di pa full synthetic. With these small turbocharged LSPI prone engines, that’s not a good idea. And as mentioned before, never turn off the engine immediately with these turbo engines, although they’re watercooled. Also running the engine too hard for long periods, well LSPI may randomly happen. Based on actual experience coming from a guy who’s driven NA all his life and tried a modern “normal” turbo car. Wouldn’t have learned and researched if the piston in my 1.5L ecoboost didn’t blow up.

    Not the same as the 180PS EcoBoost 1.5 found in the previous Focus/Escape. The 143PS EcoBoost 1.5 in the Territory was designed more for improved efficiency and lower emissions.

    Pretty much the case.

    Turbocharged engines are becoming more common nowadays, and car companies are slowly moving away from NA engines to meet stricter emissions standards and improve fuel economy without sacrificing power. Like I said earlier, this is slowly becoming the new normal for engines.

    I’m speaking for turbo maintenance in general. Since oil flows through the turbo which becomes extremely hot, you can’t just put any ordinary “gasoline station” oils in it. Not only that, US now recommends API SN Plus to prevent LSPI for turbo. Turbo cars are GREAT if one knows how to open and read the manual booklet.
