Hi all, my name is Mike. Just bought a 2018 F-150 XLT after having a bow tie for a year.
Got the 3.5 EB and have 150k on the clock. Looking for ways to keep this engine happy and out of the shop.

Welcome to FTE. If you check through the forums, you'll find two areas of specific interest. The "Newer Light Duty Trucks" section and the, "Performance, Engine and Troubleshooting" section.

Stop by your state chapter and join them too.

150,000 miles in five years? That's a bunch!

Keep the oil and filter changed ahead of schedule and it will probably last a long time.

Welcome aboard!
