2.7 oil pump belt failed at 254,577 mi (Reddit post)

I don’t think he was implying either use timing belts

That is correct. Thank you. However, I did previously hear that the EcoBoost engines should have a timing job around the 150K mark and went with that. A quick look into A.I., because the internet and surly A.I. would never steer you wrong . Results came back timing chain good for life of engine, but oil pump belt should be 150K or 10 years. Keep eye on oil / oil filter for rubber particles for signs of belt degradation.

250K is a lot to ask of a belt in this example

to be honest, it's the complexity of the computerization that scare me the most with regards to long term ownership.

Same boat .

This is not necessarily true.
While it is the way Ford says to do it, the engine does not need to be removed if you know what you’re doing.

Ducati be like, Ford, nuh-uhh.
