Thanks for this. I recently purchased a 6.5 year S Ecoboost that's done about 44K on the odo. Currently the car is as good as new. I follow standard practice of warming up the engine and then raising the rpms, and also not abruptly coming to a standstill after a long drive. That said, I don't understand what more care must be taken to prolong the engine life?

Ford mentions the wet belt is good for 150K Miles/10 years or nearly 2.4Lakh kilometers. The reviewer in video mentions it's actually half of that in terms of mileage.

In my case, I have minimal running of about 300-400 Kms per month (courtesy complete WFH). So am I good enough atleast for next 5 years/80K kilometers or so?
