2.2 TDCi Duratorq Puma (ZSD-422)
"Ford's own 2.2 diesel with a timing chain, used in the Transit and Transit Custom, the Ranger T6, the Mondeo Mk3 2.2 TDCi and the Peugeot Boxer / Citroen Jumper. Tough and simple, but 2006-2010 engines had troublesome Delphi injectors, the Ranger's variable oil pump and EGR cooler can wreck the engine if ignored, and the DPF dilutes the oil on short runs. Check the coolant level and service history."
Coyote 5.0 V8
"Ford's naturally aspirated 32-valve DOHC 5.0 V8 (Mustang GT, F-150), sold officially in Europe in the Mustang from 2015. Broadly regarded as one of the most durable modern performance V8s, with no engine safety recall. The 2018+ third generation (direct plus port injection, plasma-coated bores) is the one to check: Ford issued an oil-consumption bulletin for the F-150 and a class action over oil use is pending, and some cars develop a cold-start piston tick. Earlier engines can seep oil at the rear of the heads. Use quality oil and do not stretch oil-change intervals - the timing chains depend on it."
