poliglotls Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Hello! I need help and explanation. Please tell me, I need help about the engine and about Ecoboost in general. My be you can advise me something based on experience or true. The thing is: I hit kicked down on my 1.5T Ford Fusion USA. I don't drive like that at all, but the situation required it. I drove to the point, I look in the mirror behind and saw a cloud of blue smoke and it stank of smoke for 3 min inside too. Auto after that approx. I SCREWED off and looked at the spark plugs, they had traveled 44,000 km. Rubbish... I have a video of the cylinders. Then I climbed into the cylinders with the camera and saw something that I did not understand. Apparently there is soot, an oil film. Could YOU please advise what is it? Why? How? Reasons? I have video inside cylinders, but cant download. Now i have: - Mileage: 50 000 miles (86,000 km) - fuel consumption is excellent, highway, from 6 l/100km. -- Oil consumption: 200 grams per 10,000 km. *Use Kendall 5W-20. -Service (changing oil) every 8,000 km. -Petrol: Tesco ""99 Moment"". (EU) 1. I need explanation, why it's had happened? 2. What to do? 3. Do I need clean cylinders? 4. Could it be a cylinder head gasket 5.! What engine diagnostics do I need and what should it include? -× I want to help this problem, it is possible to react earlier ×- BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR ECOBOOST!

akirby Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Blue smoke is burning oil. Could be piston rings or valve stem seals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, thank you for your answer. I also came to the same conclusions.... hope so not. So, next Tuesday, 19 of September, I am going to measure the pressure in the cylinders and will do the general overview of the engine. I will keep you informed. Then we'll see what and how to do... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to reassure everyone, I was at the service. We unscrewed the spark plugs, put an endoscope in there and realized that the cylinders were completely clean, dry, no oil. The candles are normal for ecoboost, they are dark, but they are clean in the place where the spark occurs, everything is clean. So, dear gentlemen, change the spark plugs more often on ecoboosts, serviced engines. since the spark plugs (the old ones) had gone 38,000 miles and turned to junk...they were under-igniting the mixture. There was gasoline in the cylinders! and it was blue smoke, too rich a mixture. Thank you. Edited September 19, 2023 by poliglotls 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Fuel is black smoke. Blue is oil. Maybe you got blue and black confused? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poliglotls Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 No, I don't. It's clear and dry inside. It's a theory... that it's a petrol. If not.... what it was, why it's not in oil and where is oil? The problem was definitely in the spark plugs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WKelley Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Fuel can come out white/blue as well. Fuel smoke tends to clear up in the air much quicker than oil smoke as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Паливний дим, як правило, очищається у повітрі швидше, ніж масляний дим. Exectly it was like you have had writen! But, with injectors (spray burners) everything is ok. Unbelievable how clean in cylinders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozz Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 That's how the plugs look in a Ecoboost 1.5l. Change them. Mine were very similar at 65,000 miles. If it's not burning a lot of oil, like a subaru/dodge/jeep, Don't worry about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in the top of my story, my plugs((( My Ford (he), eat 200 milliliters for 8000-9000 ml, it's OK, I think so. Thank you. I will have service near December 2023, I will change oil, all filters as usualy, spark plugs, and oil in gear box. That's, all. By the way, I use oil for my engine Kandall 5W-20. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
