No matter what type of oil is in there, it’s break-in oil. Change it at 1k miles along with a new filter

So I got the truck back after having the engine replaced and drdro it for about a week and then it threw the codes for overboost and underboost so it is back in the shop for the turbos. So far they've checked the wiring, the turbos themselves, and tried new solenoids and nothing has fixed them yet, they're trying new valves and then it night be new turbo time.

2012 Ecoboost, so far it's had the timing chain issue fixed, low pressure fuel pump replaced, a remanufactured long block, and now potentially turbos.
