Ford started switching from timing chains to wet timing belts that also drive the oil pump.
Makes buying used ones a gamble because previous owner probably didn't use the Ford spec oil.
The wrong oil means the belt disintegrates into the oil, clogs up the oil pump, and skips timing.
Must use WSS-M2C961-A1 for 5w-30 or WSS-M2C960-A1 for 5w-20
1.0EB, 1.5EB, 2.7EB, 21+ 5.0, Chevy 3.0 Duramax all have it.
Supposedly reduces timing chain hammering and works for up to 1100HP, but really impacts real world durability.
3.3 and 3.5EB are fine.
