2018 F150 STX 2.7 eco low oil pressure trouble
I just bought my new Ff150 STX 4x4 and put 1600 miles on it when I brought it to the dealer to get the first oil change done.
A day later my truck gets check engine light on and low oil pressure warning plus lost acceleration.
I bring it to ford dealer who did the oil change and they told me we just reset the computer and you are fine now the reason truck wasn't running good because it was in a failsafe mode but on my way home from dealer same problem.
I read about the older 2.7 ecoboost engines having to be replaced because of a similar issue.
The truck is currently at the dealer awaiting a diagnoses.
I was just wondering if anyone has had this issue?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

Well.. first i would pull the crankcase dipstick and check the oil level. After that, you have done your due diligence as the operator. Could be: what it looks like from an oil pump or spun bearing; an oil pressure sensor, a main cap not assembled correctly.. good luck!

Your problem sounds like the dealer forgot to put oil (or at least the right amount) back in. Resetting the codes doesn't fix the problem.
Have you checked the oil level?
Have you checked the oil level?

Thanks for the replies
I checked to oil it looked perfect to me, I am a big fan of dumping the original oil pretty quick after break in, I know it says just follow the maintanence schedule but im a little finatic plus its so inexpensive to do. Hopefully ill find out omething tomorrow, thanks for your responses.

SSM 47072 - 2018 Various Vehicles - Illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) With Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0521
Some 2018 F-150, Expedition, and Navigator vehicles may exhibit an illuminated MIL with DTC P0521 stored in powertrain control module (PCM) usually after a crank, no-start event. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-14 for normal diagnostics. If unable to determine root cause, do not attempt any repairs. Engineering is investigating, monitor OASIS for updates.

Round 2 with the Ford dealer they told me exactly this
I hope someone at the dealership does their due diligence before condemning an engine that may not have any defect. I would like to know what DTC was stored in the PCM. P0521 is for the Engine OIl Pressure circuit.

Ford dealer called me today to pick up truck, before I left parking lot engine light came on, now im pissed. The service director came out and told me he looked up the issue and Ford is stating there is no fix right now. I said ok then Ford has to give me another new truck. He said to leave it and he will call Ford engineering tomorrow. I am so pissed because now I dont trust this truck.

OK the new update is the Ford dealer is receiving a oil pressure sensor from Ford because they spoke to the engineers today and they said that they want to start with replacing that and see if that helps still without a truck without a loaner vehicle kind of ridiculous. Ford has opened a case on my truck for a buy back but the engineers at Ford corporate thing the sensor might be bad. If anyone has heard of this please chime in im curious if im the only one with this problem.
