FORD F-150 Super Crew — What to know
The F-150 is America's best-selling vehicle and has enormous aftermarket and independent workshop support. Parts are competitively priced and the truck's popularity means most mechanics are familiar with it. EcoBoost models (2.7T, 3.5T) have more complex maintenance than naturally-aspirated V6 or V8 alternatives.
What is this repair?
Plain-English overview
The oil pan (sump) gasket seals the base of the engine where oil collects; a leak causes oil to drip onto the road or onto exhaust components, creating smoke and a burning smell. Ignored leaks lead to low oil level and engine damage.
