You have 169,000 miles on a turbo 1.5L ?? Wow!!!
No mechanical Issues with the engine. 5W-20 Motorcraft Synthetic Blend. Always changed when vehicle oil minder tells me.
So the 2025 does not use a wet belt?
Correct the 2025's 1.5L and 2.0L are completely new engines and both use mechanical drive oil pumps. No wet belts of any sort.
they are still listed as a dragon faimly update. the biggest part that no one talks about is the focus on the actual combustion process and the design that was put into the combustion chamber shape valve and plug placment and so on to maximize the combustion efficiency. the features that are comonly listed are the integrated egr system, and the chain for the oil pump which realy isn't a big deal but enough people complained, for no reason, so they changed it since they were chaning the engine a bit anyways. some of the older models were actualy gear drive not wet belt. the other big update is the turbo, and they claim to be upgraded from direct injection to a combanation of direct and port.. um my 2023 has that one as well as all 1.5L dragons so I am not sure what they are getting at with that claim.
Not sure where you received your info from but the 2025 1.5L and 2.0L are completely new engines. designated MPC (Ford's new Modular Power Cylinder family).
Do you have something to confirm this? I looked through parts catalogs and I see the 2.0 doesn't, but I still saw a belt listed in the parts for a 2025. I might be pushed to upgrade if it in fact was fixed
