Wondering if the PowerBoost has a plastic oil pan and that stupid yellow plastic drain plug that the last generation EcoBoost changed to? From searching it seems like there was some back and forth changes on Ford's part from 2017 - 2020, so the only way to know on those trucks was to climb underneath and look.
I'll probably be over 1000 miles when I get my truck home from the dealer, so first thing the next morning I'll be changing the oil. If it has that stupid yellow drain plug I'd like to change it out so the second oil change will be easier and mess free. I want to order the Ronin drain plug and have it waiting, but don't want to spend $80 to find out they changed back to a metal pan and drain plug. Bob mentioned that his parts guy thought they went back to metal, but I'll believe that when I see it, or someone here confirms they've been under their truck and it is indeed metal.
Edit - Mickle confirmed the 3.5L EcoBoost has a metal pan and installed a Fumoto Valve on his. Still would like to hear from anyone with a PowerBoost to confirm it has the metal pan too.
Thanks,
Roger
