The Ford Ecoboost engine from 2018 onwards has an oil bath timing chain.

Model: Ford Ford Various
Part: Timing belt

Video tutorial

This youtuber admits his own ignorance with relief, and lets us know a very important thing: the Ford Ecoboost 1.0 3-cylinder engines, built from 2018 onwards, generally mount the metal chain in oil bath and no longer the belt, which has caused - and is still causing - many problems for many other brands that have adopted this system.

However, there are several variants of the Ecoboost engine, which is also available in different displacements than 1.0. The transition from belt to chain has occurred gradually, so within the same model and the same year of production, there may be versions with belt and versions with chain: we can be sure only by comparing the engine code, which is found on the registration certificate, section 2, code P.5).
